Abstract: Our analysis tools to support war are not perfect, but we have lots of them. Fortunately, wars are infrequent. On the other hand, the military is supporting 30-40 operations other than war (OOTW) each year and it would almost be true to say we have no analysis tools to support them. This paper sketches the un-met needs, as determined by a recent project sponsored by the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM).

The modeling and simulation community faces an increasingly difficult task in representing individual combatant (IC) in joint and combined arms models and simulations and in the virtual environment. Questions relating to user needs and community capabilities are raised in this paper based on a task based process recently applied to identify user needs for individual combatants in virtual environments.
