چکیده
Modern military operations are characterized by highly dynamic environments, complex strategic, operational, and tactical situations, a rich and evolving mix of allies and adversaries, inherent and sometimes massive uncertainty, and high risk. This combination of factors requires that military forces must continually transform and adjust to remain highly effective in extremely fluid environments. This capability, known as agility, is emerging as a key attribute of the forces and organizations that will enable them to respond to the nature of modern operations. In an everyday language sense, agility as a concept is well understood. However, operational definitions of agility, needed to enable unambiguous recognition and measurement of the different aspects of agility have been lacking. This paper lays the groundwork for a unifying approach for measuring and experimenting with agility and its enabling factors by suggesting definitions of agility and its associated attributes that are amenable to measurement, and describing potential approaches to agility measurement and description.

Scholars have devoted increasing efforts to understanding crisis response networks (Denning 2006a, 2006b; Stephenson and Schnitzer 2006), especially in the case of networks comprised of disparate members who acknowledge no higher organizational authority. Coordination within disaster response networks is difficult for several reasons, including the chaotic nature of the crisis, a need for the v...

An influence network is a directed graph extensively used for Effects-Based Operation. It contains nodes that represent events and links that encode causal relationships among events. It propagates the likelihood of each event through promotion or inhibition by its parents. As a subject matter expert often builds this network by hand, we helped simplify the influence network generation in Organ...

One essential function in Command is to determine roles, responsibilities and relationships, in order to enable, encourage and constrain certain behaviors. In the context of the complex endeavors expected to happen in the near future, this means to establish a collection of organizations that are fit for the missions. On the other hand, in recent years the mathematical field of Topology has bee...
