The risk of adversaries instigating mass human migration, refugee flows and crowd formations in the battlespace1 requires mitigation because unexpected population movements can adversely impact the United States and partners’ freedom of operations abroad.  As well, Information operations and physical events initiated by operations in an area may result in population activity patterns (second and third order effects/events). Even relatively small gatherings of non-combatants, especially at urban choke points can have repercussions impacting military operations which rely on predictable traffic flow on roads and infrastructure. Simulation in the field of Pattern of Life Analytics (PoLA) is critically important to the military because it may lead to improvements in predicting patterns of movement and other behaviors that are realistic, reliable, and repeatable among non-military populations.
