Summary	The overarching objective of this work is the development of feasible methods and empirically grounded metrics for assessing and modeling dynamic attitudes and intentions of civilians in irregular warfare and counterinsurgency environments. This work includes three components: (1) Identify personal, social, and cultural factors that are likely to affect civilians' attitudes, intentions, and behaviors in COIN/IW situations. (2) Develop metrics for the most likely precursors to attitudes and behaviors in COIN/IW environments, and help the US CAA incorporate them into reliable and valid surveying methods for use in COIN/IW situations. (3) Translate the key personal, social, and cultural factors into parameters and processes that can be incorporated into practical simulations for wargaming and decision support.
