Abstract
The aim of this study was to present a comprehensive model and identify the influential factors in the preparation of combat forces. To achieve this goal, the researchers consulted experts from the Iranian Armed Forces and collected information through in-depth interviews. The data obtained from twenty interviews, as well as related documents and records, were coded and analyzed. A mixed-method research approach (qualitative and quantitative) was employed.
Causal diagrams can transform complex causal relationships among criteria into a structured and observable model, providing precise insights for problem-solving. Additionally, by using causal diagrams to distinguish between cause and effect criteria, more informed decisions can be made. Therefore, the DEMATEL technique was used to identify key factors in the preparation of combat forces and any causal relationships between the criteria.
The results of code categorization revealed fifteen components at three levels: military training, military physical education, and special training.
Conclusion: Based on the research findings, the proposed model can serve as a foundation for successful preparation of combat forces. In military environments, combat forces are considered essential and central elements. Accordingly, the comprehensive model of influential factors in combat force preparation was extracted, validated, and the research framework was outlined and confirmed.
