Description: EAGLE is a systematic combat simulation which is currently under development by the      TRADOC Analysis Command at Fort Leavenworth. EAGLE is written using the      Artificial Intelligence (AI) language LISP, which is ideally suited for describing both      combat missions and decisions in understandable, nature language terms within an      extremely sophisticated tactics knowledge base. Earlier reports, however, have      asserted that systematic combat models which use the so- called present-state      decisionmaking paradigm have a fundamentally flawed decisionmaking process. This      report investigates the application in EAGLE of an alternative, future-state      decisionmaking architecture, called the Generalized Value System (GVS), describes the      general changes to EAGLE code and data structures necessary to impelement this      methodology, and presents and example of how we believe this methodology would      execute within EAGLE.
