This report defines and describes will to fight and provides a model of unit will to fight that can be applied to ground combat units of any scale. The model provides a research-grounded template for case-by-case adviser assessment of partner or allied military forces and the intelligence analysis of adversary forces. This report also provides a theoretical basis for adding will to fight to military war gaming and simulation.

In this report, RAND researchers explore enterprise concepts to modernize the U. S. Army's modeling and simulation infrastructure.

The Department of the Air Force wants to invest in advanced training technologies--such as augmented and virtual reality, gaming, and synthetic training environments--to maintain an asymmetric advantage over competitors. In this report, the authors construct a framework for training technology transfer and lay out potential barriers and enablers associated with each step. They also examine six use cases from across the U. S. Department of Defense.

Section 1652 of the fiscal year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act tasks the U. S. Department of Defense (DoD) to perform a zero-based review (ZBR)--a detailed review rather than a simple comparison with previous size or budget--of its cybersecurity and information technology workforces. The ZBR process described in this report constitutes a transparent, repeatable process with which DoD can conduct ZBRs across the DoD cyber enterprise.
