X X X 6-23. Appendix A discusses emerging analytic techniques in the Army. These emerging techniques include contrarian, imaginative, and structured analytic techniques. Additionally, center of gravity analysis, functional analysis, and modeling techniques are described more fully in FM 2-01.3. 6-24. Table 6-3 on page 6-8 provides a quick reference guide to how each of the contrarian, imaginative, structured analytic techniques, and analytic techniques discussed in FM 2-01.3 may be employed and the operations in which they are most often used.
