Exploring New Concepts for Joint Urban Operations

TL;DRAbstract

JAWP conducted four war games that explored the utility of six new urban operational concepts. The purpose of these war games was to better understand the utility, strengths, and weaknesses of each course of action, and to learn more about how they interrelate. The approach generally involved giving Blue Teams varying degrees of freedom to apply the operational concepts within urban scenarios, while Red Teams countered with their own courses of action. The Blue players merged the different operational concepts into one larger concept, with variations depending on the scenario. The Blue players also displayed patterns in the types of urban capabilities they needed in such areas as intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance; electronic warfare and information operations; precision strike; non-lethal weapons; urban logistics; civilian support; and coordination. Researchers investigating technological solutions for urban operations should find value in the capability demand patterns of the
