Abstract. The agent based distillation MANA was used for an exploratory
study of the seven core skills of the Army-as-a-System model,
using a bottom-up approach. Simple tactics were developed, then combined,
allowing more complex behaviours to emerge. Scenarios in which simple
and combined tactics were played against each were used to
measure the effectiveness of various combinations of core skills. Preliminary
results indicate that the complex adaptive behaviour produced multiple distinct
end-states. Significantly, ‘rock-scissors-paper’ paradigms emerged between combinations of tactics, where
a cyclic, rather than linear, relationship was observed between these
combined tactics.
