Modelling country reconstruction based on civil military cooperation
Authors: Agostino G. Bruzzone, Francesca Madeo, Federico Tarone
Abstract
This paper provides a general overview about the use of Modeling & Simulation techniques as support to training, planning and decisions making in Country Reconstruction, after wars, natural disasters, large crisis and conflicts. In particular the authors focus on CIMIC (Civil - Military Cooperation) activities and on CIMIC process in asymmetric wars. One goal of this research is to introduce a new Conceptual Model that can connect Human Emotions (fear, trust, anger?) to something or someone in scenarios generated by Computer Generated Forces (CGF). This interest resulted from the conviction that the success of a CIMIC Operation derives from the counterinsurgents capacity in separating local population from rebels. So, the intent is to model military actions? effects (positive or not) on civilians? emotions. In the first part of the paper current applications of IACGF (Intelligent Agents for Computer Generated Forces) are examined. In the second part, three different real cases of CIMIC operations are taken back to study CIMIC process and to identify typical phases and activities and typical actors. In the third part conceptual model is given to reproduce CIMIC operations? effects in terms of trust and gratitude toward military forces and fear or anger towards rebels or terrorists.
