They were also bringing baggage along from WWI where they suffered massive casualties, while the U.S. arrived to the fight much later.

Risk Metrics and Advantage/Disadvantages There are two risk metrics used in the model, Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) and Value at Risk (VaR). These two metrics both look at the tail of the distribution. VaR is a measure of particularly poor outcomes in a stochastic projection. Its major shortcoming is its lack of statistical coherency.
