    I am pleased to share that the Handbook of Military and Defense Operations Research is now fully available in both print and digital formats from CRC Press / Taylor and Francis! 

     

    This volume presents the voices leading OR and analytics to new heights in security through research, practical applications, and lessons learned in military and defense applications.  The book is organized into four sections: approaches, soft skills and client relations, applications, and perspectives.  The target audiences for this volume are students and early career professionals; we intend to help bridge the gap between traditional OR education and the unique applications found in the military and defense problem space.
