DIME/PMESII models are a class of "social models." They reflect the impacts of Diplomatic, Information, Military, and Economic (DIME) efforts to affect the Political, Military, Economic, Social, Information, and Infrastructure (PMESII) situation. The operations that are modeled include Peace Operations, Humanitarian and Disaster Relief, Counter Insurgency, Counter Terrorism, all part of what is currently called Irregular Warfare (IW). In addition to kinetic theories and modeling, Human, Social, Culture Behavior (HSBC) theories and modeling are required. The models are used in understanding the dynamics of IW situations and potential actions that can be used to "solve" the situations. This chapter discusses the modeling constructs of DIME/PMESII models and the Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) processes required for assessing the utility of the models.
