Operations research originated during World War II with the military's need for a scientific method of providing executive departments with a quantitative decision-making basis. This volume originally appeared in classified form but was later made available to scientists, engineers, and other nonmilitary professionals. The first such text published in the United States, this is a key book in the development of operations research as a major academic discipline. Beginning with an introduction that defines the objectives of operations research procedures, the authors discuss probability and the use of measures of effectiveness. They explore strategical kinematics, tactical analysis, gunnery and bombardment problems, operational experiments with equipment and tactics, and organizational and procedural problems.
