Introduction
Two contributions were submitted in Sep meeting to address the importance of considering military usage case in the IEEE s Usage Models
“Military Usage Case”, J. Hauser (NRL), D. J. Shyy (MITRE), Max Green (MCTSSA), 11-04/1006r0
“Usage Cases and Functional Requirements for Mesh Networking: A Military Perspective”, William Kasch, Jack Burbank (John Hopkins/APL), 11-04/1016r0
These two contributions highlight
Mesh networking capability is something that the military needs today
Military has a strong buying power if the 11s products meet their requirements
Military would like to leverage on commercial products with some military enhancements

Way Forward
Option 1: Introduce a new usage case in the s Usage Model document
May create too many usages cases in the document
Option 2: Merge with an existing usage case in the s Usage Model document
Can we find an existing usage case which has similar attributes as the military usage case?

4. How About Merging with Public Safety Usage Case?

How About Merging with Public Safety Usage Case?
The public safety usage case shares many common requirements with the military usage case.
As a result, we propose to merge the military usage case with public safety usage case.
The proposed text changes are attached in the next few slides.
