Good. xxv, [1], 171, [1] pages. Figures (some with color). Tables (some with color). Endnotes. Bibliography. Come cover wear. Paul K. Davis is a policy analyst at the Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, California. Dr. Davis holds a Ph.D. from M.I.T. He joined the Department of Defense for 4 years to work in Strategy and Program Analysis. He held the position of Senior Principal Researcher at RAND, and Professor at the Pardee RAND Graduate School. He is known for work in strategic planning methods such as exploratory analysis under uncertainty and capabilities-based planning, for modeling, and for applications of social science to counterterrorism. Dr. Davis has also been active in contributing to numerous national panels such as a national-academy study on prompt conventional global strike. He was a member of the NATO Research Group SAS-085, a group focused on Agility, its definition, measurement, and contributions to the effectiveness and efficiency of organizations, processes, systems, and individuals. Defense analysis can do a better job supporting policymakers dealing with multiple objectives and deep uncertainties. This will involve seeing through the fog with simple analysis and undergirding results with depth as necessary. It will emphasize balancing across objectives and hedging against both uncertainty and disagreement among policymakers. Modern methods for doing so are available but they require displacing some familiar processes and demanding more from analysis. Once decisions are made, analysis should help policymakers explain, convince, and shape implementation guidance with sharpened requirements, forcing functions, and metrics for monitoring, feedback, and adaptation. The author believes that capabilities should be evaluated with a spanning set of test-case scenarios. Multiple tests are needed even for a specific threat and more are needed to address the diversity of challenges. The test cases should be analytically developed to represent what policymakers intend and can afford.
