ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Lanchester models are mathematical representations of the attrition which occurs during military battles. The underlying assumptions of the Lanchester models are of prime importance and are discussed in this study. Although the deterministic approach to warfare is considered to be the main focus, some important results concerning the stochastic view of warfare are briefly given. The validation of any attrition model is gravely restricted by the shortage of historical data as well as the quality of available data. Attempts to validate Lanchester models are discussed. A wide spectrum of variations on the original models that were published in 1914 by F. W. Lanchester has come into existence. In this study two of the above mentioned variations are discussed and evaluated from a mathematical viewpoint. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Lanchestermodelle is wiskundige voorstellings van die attrisie wat gegdurende militêre gevegte voorkom. Die onderliggende aannames van die Lanchestermodelle is veral van groot belang en word in hierdie studie uiteengesit. Alhoewel daar op die deterministiese beskouing van oorlogvoering gekonsentreer word, word belangrike gevolge van die stogastiese beskouing van oorlogvoering kortliks gegee. Validering van enige attrisiemodel word ernstig belemmer deur beide 'n tekort aan historiese gevegsdata en die kwaliteit van die beskikbare data. Pogings om Lanchestermodelle te valideer word bespreek. 'n Wye verskeidenheid variasies van die oorspronklike modelle wat in 1914 deur F. W. Lanchester gepubliseer is, het reeds die lig gesien. Twee van bogenoemde variasies word in hierdie studie bespreek en uit 'n wiskundige oogpunt beoordeel.
