ARRC NATO-based Analysis Methods: The ARRC employs two methods of
analysis, which in fact is a combination of the aforementioned methods. 24 The
first method follows the process below (Figure 9) using NATO’s COG Analysis
Matrix (Figure 4) though starting with Actor’s Objectives/Aim like Eikmeier’s
method (Figure 2). In addition, it uses elements of Godzilla (listing ‘Strengths’
and adopts its validity test).
As for the second method, ARRC uses as its basis NATO’s Matrix starting
from the Objectives/Aim of the actor/entity and the validity test of Godzilla
model, as depicted below (Figures 10, 11,12, 13):
