An approach is presented for evaluating the mission effectiveness of combat units. The formal evaluation scheme is unusual in that it works with complex tradeoffs and deals flexibly with the changing conditions of combat. The scheme is centered on an index measure in which many indicators are related through a nonlinear mathematical model. The model mimics the pattern by which an expert evaluator judges whole performance.
