  Force multiplier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A force multiplier is a military term referring to a factor that dramatically increases (hence "multiplies") the combat effectiveness of a military force.
Modern Western militaries are highly force-multiplied forces, in that a relatively small number of troops can successfully defeat much larger numbers of less well-trained and equipped enemies.
In the 2003 War in Iraq, a smaller force achieved a much more difficult objective than in the 1991 Gulf War, because of advances in sensors, computers, and telecommunications.

 drill press force multiplier? | Ask MetaFilter
The force multier is the difference between the radius of the pinion gear and the length of the handle.
Multiply the length of the handle(R) by 2pi.
So, if you move the handle roughly 12 inches, and the bit moves 2 inches, that's a sixfold difference, and the force you apply to the handle is multiplied six times at the tip of the drill bit.

 Franchise Remedies: Franchise Force Multiplier Strategy (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.umd.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Force multiplication in franchising is about the qualitative potential represented by a corps of a few hundred or several hundred of your own franchisees in the sense that they ought to represent your primary “go to” target market for your next franchise concept.
That is the acid test of any company’s qualification to become a force multiplier.
The value of the experienced franchisor is a qualitative force multiplier in the sense that survivability comes with the experience.

 Army Aviation : A Force Multiplier
The primary role of these Air OP flights was to act as ‘Eyes of Artillery’ and engage targets in depth which were not visible to ground observers.
The logistic support for far-flung Army posts in inaccessible high altitude terrain, where air-dropping by heavy fixed-wing aircraft previously was expensive and wasteful, opened the need for one to two tonne capacity utility helicopters which could lift loads from forward logistic areas at road-heads or helipads accessible to heavy utility helicopters.
The conversion of the erstwhile Air OP units with the Air Force into a total olive green aviation force opened new vistas of tactical involvement and battle utilisation.

Mark F RE:Force Multiplier - Jack Tar 1/5/2004 2:18:30 PM A frigate of say, 200 years ago was much more akin to what we today think of as a cruiser than what we associate with a modern frigate.
In the post-war USN a frigate was a large destroyer (too big to be a destroyer, not big enough to be a cruiser) where PW the RN adopted a system where a frigate was a small, usually second-rate ASW escort - now more of a general purpose escort type.

We still have some forces forward deployed, but not in the same concentration that we had, and our focus is anywhere that is required.
And so it is our projection from bases in the states that provides the support for the troops who do the fighting.
As a result, more importance is applied to software's role as a very direct enabler of our effective performance from our stateside installations in support of the tactical forces in distant countries.

 Analysis: Weather as a Force Multiplier - Owning the Weather by 2025
Those that believe in certain hoaxes on Internet conspiracy sites that involve topics such as radar anomalies, "chemtrails", and weather control, often will cite an Air Force document as evidence that the Air Force has a weather control program in place and may already be controlling the weather.
The Air Force document they are speaking of, called Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather by 2025, is real and was written and published in 1996.
The inaccuracy is the radical and incorrect interpretation that some conspiracy theorists place on the document.

The radio was designed and prototyped by USSOCOM in response to a specific SOF requirement but has become a standard radio for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force.
