... BRINGS THE FRUITS OF SCIENCE TO BEAR ON THE SOLUTION OF GLOBAL MILITARY PROBLEMS
Research Analysis Corporation (formerly the Operations Research Office) plays an inte- gral part in the science-industry-government effort towards the achievement of our na- tional objectives. To this end, a scientific staff representing more than thirty different disciplines is today working in an intellectual atmosphere at RAC. Through a mixed-team approach we apply modern scientific methodology to the solution of global military problems. Areas of interest include strategy, political-military gaming, tactics, logistics, intelligence, and air defense. Tackling the problems posed by the future Army, making decisions today for 1970 and beyond-decisions of utmost and far reaching importance-requires from the practitioner imaginatiVe and precise thought. If you are creative and interested in extending your talents beyond the boundaries of your specific discipline, you are invited to contact RAC. We offer you an exciting professional career and the opportunity to make substantive contributions to our national purpose.

A t Arthur D. Little, Inc., we were organizing the first formal non-military operations research group.
In the last I2 years we have developed broad competence through our work in a variety of fields including:
Aero space systems studies Distribution, logistics, and transportation ASW systems analysis Financial planning and analysis Marketing Economic planning and development Experimental planning and statistical analysis Inventory control and production planning Mathematical problems in physics and engi-
neering
The diversity of ADL interests contributes in no small degree to opportunities for our operations research staff mem- bers. The skill and experience of our total staff permits the group to undertake projects of greater magnitude and breadth than is normally possible in more specialized organizations. At the same time while maintaining an emphasis on work which is quantita- tive in nature we participate increasingly in the broad economic and social studies undertaken by ADL.
At present we are especially interested in people with backgrounds appropriate to transportation, economic planning, ASW systems analysis, experimental planning, communications and information theory, and mathematical and numerical prob- lems in physics and engineering.
If you have doctoral level training in the physical sciences, mathematics or engineering and are interested broadly in prob- lems in the industrial, military or scientific spheres, send a brief description of your education and experience to:
