Summary In his guidance documents, General Berger states that his highest priority is future force design with a particular emphasis on improving integration with the U.S. Navy. Part of this integration envisions a key role for expeditionary forces to employ Ground-Based Anti-Ship Missiles (GBASM), a capability expected to be especially important to strategic and operational success in the South China Sea and elsewhere in the USINDOPACOM area of responsibility. While the Marine Corps expects to leverage existing weapon system designs, they must also plan for the longer term. A method to reasonably consider and measure the importance of characteristics of weapons systems not yet in existence is invaluable to this planning process. This study will fill that gap. We will develop a combat model in an agent-based modeling platform and analyze its output. The Deputy Commandant for Programs and Resources must allocate resources according to the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution process pursuant to acquiring Ground Based Anti-Ship Missile capability now and into the future. This project will generate insight to inform that enterprise.
