BATTLE PLANNING AND ORGANIZATION LOGISTICS SUPPORT IN THE FORMS AND METHODS OF NATO STANDARDS MILITARY MANAGEMENT TOOLS BASED ON THE USE OF THE GAME THEORY MATHEMATICAL APPARATUS

Abstract

The subject matter of the article is the analysis of the decision-making options for combat operations in the sphere of operation of the S-4 section of the headquarters of the military unit. The goal of the study is the development of the methodology of the military raffle according to NATO standards for the analysis of decision-making options for combat operations by applying the mathematical apparatus of game theory. The tasks to be solved are: to conduct an analysis of the methods recommended by NATO standards for a military draw; from the point of view their viability objectivity assessing to formulate a matrix game based on an a posteriori analysis of action options to make a decision on planning and organizing a battle in the field of the S-4 section operation. The methodological basis of the research was general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge. General scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge are used. The following results were obtained: The adequacy of the mathematical apparatus of game theory for the formal description of the decision-making process for combat operations, taking into account all possible risks, has been clarified. Conclusions The method of analyzing options for making a decision on combat operations using the mathematical apparatus of game theory is one that is devoid of subjectivity. The solution of the matrix game compiled on the basis of data on combat operations in the sphere of operation of the S-4 headquarters section of the military unit is the basis of the methodology of logistical support for the planning and organization of the battle in the forms and methods of the military management toolkit according to NATO standards.
