Military decision-making applications could include strategy development, course of action planning, tactical analyses, intelligence gathering, wargaming and simulation, deception detection, coalition formation and evolution, and others. Such domains typically involve extremely large search spaces (making even a single traversal of a complete decision tree impossible), private information that is never …
