IGOR supports ADF Joint Evaluation

IGOR has commenced work in support of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to generate a hub of expertise in the analysis of military operations and exercises. The first study assigned will support Ex TS 13.

IGOR will assist with the design and development of planning tools, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, indicators of progress and measures of effectiveness for Exercise Talisman Saber 2013 (TS 13). TS 13 is a bilateral Australian and United States of America exercises conducted in Australia to practice combined task force (CTF) operations in a mid intensity high-end war-fighting environment.

Two of the IGOR team have been assigned to kick this project off, both have a background in military exercises and operations and a deep understanding of the dynamics of complex systems analysis and evaluation. The men and women of the ADF and US armed forces can be confident evaluation and feedback from this exercise is going to be thorough.
