Currently, the\nopportunity exists to carry out experiments at individual and joint service levels to\nfacilitate this transformation. Experimentation, which involves a spectrum of activities\nincluding analyses, war games, modeling and simulation, small focused experiments, and\nlarge field events among other things, provides the means to enhance naval and joint\nforce development. To assist the Navy in this effort, the Chief of Naval Operations\n(CNO) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study to examine the\nrole of experimentation in building future naval forces to operate in the joint\nenvironment. The NRC formed the Committee for the Role of Experimentation in\nBuilding Future Naval Forces to perform the study.", url = "https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/11125/the-role-of-experimentation-in-building-future-naval-forces", year = 2004, publisher = "The National Academies Press", address = "Washington, DC" }
