Allen M. Murashige, a member of the scientific and professional cadre of senior executives, is chief scientist for the Directorate of Command and Control, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Air and Space Operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C. He provides scientific and technical advice and recommends policies to enhance Air Force command and control, simulation, and analysis concepts and capabilities. He is also the senior U.S. representative to the Studies, Analysis and Simulation Panel of the NATO Research and Technology Organization. Murashige began his career in 1968 at the Air Force Western Test Range, Vandenberg Air Force Base, as an aerospace engineer on the Minuteman ICBM test program. After completing a graduate fellowship in 1973, he returned to Vandenberg as an operations research analyst with the Space and Missile Test Center supporting the MX intercontinental ballistic missile and space shuttle programs. In 1977, Murashige transferred to the operations analysis office at Headquarters U.S. Air Forces in Europe, Ramstein Air Base. During his 10 years at USAFE, he analyzed war plans, weapon systems, tactics and operations, and worked extensively with our NATO allies, directing the operations analysis cell on the NATO Allied Air Forces battle staff. Murashige was selected to enter the scientific and professional executive corps in 1987. He was assigned as scientific and technical adviser with the Air Force Studies and Analyses Agency. Besides providing technical advice and analytical methodologies for weapon system, force structure and resource allocation studies, he represented the Air Force on senior technical boards and committees, both national and international in scope. He became the chief scientist for Air Force Modeling, Simulation and Analysis in June 1996, and was responsible for establishing the Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation in Orlando, Fla., and other critical modeling and simulation initiatives. Murashige assumed his current position in 1997 when the Air Staff reorganization merged the Directorate of Modeling, Simulation and Analysis with other offices to form the Directorate of Command and Control.
