The Deep Green concept is an innovative approach to using simulation to support ongoing military operations while they are being conducted. The basic approach is to maintain a state space graph of possible future states. Software agents use information on the trajectory of the ongoing operation, vice a priori staff estimates as to how the battle might unfold, as well as simulation technologies, to assess the likelihood of reaching some set of possible future states. The likelihood, utility, and flexibility of possible future nodes in the state space graph are computed and evaluated to focus the planning efforts. This notion is called anticipatory planning and involves the generation of options (either automated or semi-automated) ahead of "real time," before the options are needed. In addition, the Deep Green concept provides mechanisms for adaptive execution, which can be described as "late binding," or choosing a branch in the state space graph at the last moment to maintain flexibility. By using information acquired from the ongoing operation, rather than assumptions made during the planning phase, commanders and staffs can make more informed choices and focus on building options for futures that are becoming more likely. This paper will describe the Deep Green concept in detail.
