A Concise Theory of Combat Published by the Naval Postgraduate School in collaboration with TMCI. Brief: A Concise Theory of Combat PowerPoint briefing prepared by Roger Mickelson, chairman.
Anatomy of a Combat Model by Larry Low (c) Some years ago, a dedicated group of TMCI members summarized and condensed a great deal of material to produce A Concise Theory of Combat, a structured approach to combat. Mr. Larry Low, who participated in that effort, prepared a companion document, Anatomy of a Combat Model, that described a way of applying that theory. Mr. Low has granted copyright to TMCI for that second document, and the Board is pleased to post it to further foster public understanding of the nature of conflict, war, and combat.
