Abstract

Abstract This study analyzed military personnel survivability in regards to offensive operations according to thescientific military training data of a reinforced infantry battalion. Scientific battle training was conductedat the Korea Combat Training Center (KCTC) training facility and utilized scientific military trainingequipment that included MILES and the main exercise control system. The training audience freely engagedan OPFOR who is an expert at tactics and weapon systems. It provides a statistical analysis of data inregards to state-of-the-art military training because the scientific battle training system saves and utilizes alltraining zone data for analysis and after action review as well as offers training control during the trainingperiod. The methodologies used the Cox PH modeling (which does not require parametric distributionassumptions) and decision tree modeling for survival data such as CART, GUIDE, and CTREE for richerand easier interpretation. The variables that violate the PH assumption were stratified and analyzed. Sincethe Cox PH model result was not easy to interpret the period of service, additional interpretation wasattempted through univariate local regression. CART, GUIDE, and CTREE formed different tree modelswhich allow for various interpretations.Keywords: scientific battle training, Cox proportional hazard model, CART, GUIDE, CTREE
