THE MISSION

The 3 colors of TRADOC.

The TRADOC G-2 M&S Division empowers the Army Modeling and Simulation Office (AMSO) and its six M&S-enabled communities (Analysis, Acquisition, Intelligence, Training, Test and Evaluation, and Experimentation). We meticulously define requirements for the OE and OPFOR threat capabilities through a comprehensive consideration of political, military, economic, social, information, infrastructure, physical environment, and time (PMESII-PT) variables, ensuring robust support for military operations.

tHE aTHENA sIMULATION

The 3 colors of TRADOC.

TRADOC G-2 M&S Division developed the Athena simulation, a decision support tool, enabling commanders and their staff modeling of human behavior dynamics across the totality of the Operational Environment. Athena is the Army's only deterministic, sociocultural modeling capability suitable to support training, experimentation, analysis, and mission command tasks.

ATHENA Computes
Changes In:

  • Population moods, attitudes, satisfaction​
  • Neighborhood volatility and security​
  • Relationships between actors​
  • Quantifies power and control (political, economic, cultural, informational)​

DIVISION SUPPORT
TOOL

  • Improves situational understanding
  • Understanding of PMESII-PT impacts on regional stability dynamics.​
  • Standalone system to model *DIME-FIL within PMESII-PT ​
  • Means to evaluate intended & unintended consequences ​
  • Method to discern potential outcomes 1-3 years in the future​
