About the author, Colonel Dupuy:

After Dupuy left active service in the Army in 1952, HarvardUniversity appointed him as a Professor of Military Science and Tactics, wherehe helped found the Harvard Defense Studies Program (directed from 1958 to 1971by Henry Kissinger[3]). He left Harvard in 1956 to become director of theprogram in military studies at The Ohio State University. After retiring fromactive military duty in 1958, he served as a visiting professor in theInternational Relations Program at Rangoon University (now Yangon University)in Burma. From 1960 to 1962 Dupuy worked for the Institute for DefenseAnalyses, a government-funded think tank.

In 1962 he formed the first of his research companiesdedicated to the study and analysis of armed conflict, the HistoricalEvaluation and Research Organization (HERO), and served as President andExecutive Director until 1983. From 1967 to 1983 he was also President of T. N.Dupuy Associates Inc. (TNDA), which became the parent organization for HERO. In1983, TNDA sold its assets (including HERO) to a new corporation he formedcalled Data Memory Systems, Inc. (DMSI). Trevor was the president and largeststockholder in DMSI. In 1990, Dupuy resigned from DMSI, sold his stock andreactivated TNDA. In 1992 TNDA was closed out, and he established the non-profitThe Dupuy Institute (TDI).[4]

Dupuy\'s main contribution to military operation analysis isthe assessment method Quantified Judgment Method or QJM, where the outcome of abattle is predicted using a fairly complicated multiplicative-additive formulain which various factors relating to the strength and firepower of the fightingparties as well as the circumstances are taken into account. Dupuy and hisassociates adjusted the parameters of his model by using known statisticalfacts of several recorded battles.
