SASO: Stability and Support Operations

Three operations of particular interest

  • Fixed site security (checkpoint, guard tower, etc)
  • Dismounted patrol
  • Cordon and search
  • All daily, manpower intensive tasks
  • Typically decentralized small unit operations at battalion and below level

Three important enabling technologies

  • Sensing: Low cost, easily installed, easily hidden
  • SA/C2: Multi-echelon tools for distributed planning, resource management, mission rehearsal
  • Shaping: Non-lethal weaponry, crowd control, EOD tasks

Three types of security

  • Force protection: Our guys
  • Population protection: Non-combatants
  • Infrastructure protection: Critical sites and equipment

Goals: Better threat detection & prediction, increased situational awareness and intelligence (social and physical), improved decentralized operations

Paper constructs a simulation based on SASO scenarios at Tiefort City

  • Outlines forces, resources, tasks, occurrences
    • Good numbers guidance for some of these
  • Plays these through a simulator to measure operations w/out SPEYES, w/ SPEYES, and w/ SPEYES at half strength

Evaluation measures

  • Timelines: Throughput (# tasks achieved), latency (time to complete tasks), response time
  • Efficiency: # troops, assets damaged, casualties
  • Effectiveness: Secured area vs patrol time, incident rates, failed tasks

Also constructs analytical evaluation
