The emphasis in the propaganda sector is on ail actions taken by the insurgent and government sides which have a psychological impact on the population. In the military sector variables associated with combat and troop replacement are examined. A computer simulation, written in DYNAMO 11, is provided and several simulation runs are examined. Suggestions for further research are also included 2012-11-13T23:51:32Z 2012-11-13T23:51:32Z 1973-09 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/16652 en_US This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
