with all data being recorded for reference later. Below are some of the RSAC objectives put forth in the paper by Paul K. Davis and James A. Winnefeld titled “An Overview and Interim Conclusions about Utility and Development Options.” To create an Integrated Framework – a means to analyze and discuss military strategy in all conflicts, including a prolonged nuclear war, anywhere in the world. To develop the capability for Multiscenario Analysis – an increased capability would “…test sensitivities to key variables…” including superpower strategy, behavior patterns, operational art, battle outcomes, and non-superpower countries involvement. To increase Analysis Realism – including factors that are normally ignored. Examples include operational constraints, asymmetries in the US and Soviet objectives, attitudes and military styles, and third country decisions and/or actions. Provide tools to improve understanding of Strategic Dynamics- these include interrelationships, possible cascade effects and decision points. Program Forces The Program Forces or Agents, are rule-based models used within the RSAC system. When designing these, a few necessary requirements needed to be met. The agents needed to be able to make operational and strategy decisions including, but not limited to, designing a war plan, deciding where to allocate forces, and whether or not to enter a battle depending on the risk vs. payoff. They also must be able to base their decisions on future projections of the conflict, not only the immediate future. For example, Blue Agent must first assess the current situation between itself and Red Agent, then consider the Scenario Agent's status, and then make a possible prediction of a future scenario involving all three. The Agents are also able to adjust and make course corrections based on conflict outcomes and the amount of intelligence available to them. Lastly, some ‘’soft factors’’ are injected into the mix. An Agent should also attempt to determine the will and intentions of the opponent, morale of the troops and country, and also the strength of current alliances if applicable. Below are the Agents involved in the RSAC system. Red Agent – This is the opposing superpower force in the simulation. Usually this is the Soviet Union or countries united under the Warsaw Pact. Blue Agent- This is the homeland superpower force in the simulation. Usually this is represented by the United States of America or the NATO countries. Scenario Agent- This is the force that represents all other non-superpower nations. Force Agent- This force
