Comparisons of FAST-VAL model results with Vietnam combat results indicate that FAST-VAL computed munitions effects are consistent with the "conventional wisdom" of engagements — that is, force ratios on the order of 3:1 or better are preferred for attack and ratios of 2:1 are marginal. As an illustration of the model's use, supporting arms requirements are computed for one type of delivery tactic — area fires.
