Findings on Mosaic Warfare from a Colonel Blotto Game

To reduce cost of conflict and increase effectiveness and robustness, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is considering a warfighting construct known as Mosaic warfare, after the analogy of creating a complex image from many small, simple pieces. For this report, researchers studied potential benefits and trade-offs of Mosaic warfare using a competitive resource allocation problem known as a Colonel Blotto game.
