LOGISTICS OF DEBRIS CLEARANCE AND REMOVAL.
Abstract
The debris conditions anticipated following a nuclear attack will be a major deterrent to postattack recovery operations. The overall objective of this study is to develop data and guidance in four specific study areas. The first area identifies and places in sequence the significant local activities that must be completed during the peacetime period to develop an effective debris clearance and removal program. The second study area determines the management actions required in planning, scheduling, and controlling postattack debris operations, and evaluates various techniques and devices that may be employed by the local manager to carry out these actions. The third area analyzes the capabilities and limitations of equipment used for direct performance of debris clearance and removal or for logistics support. Specifications and criteria are developed to permit the identification of appropriate and available resources, the determination of necessary logistic support needs, and the evaluation of potential debris clearing capacities. The final study area develops basic concepts for resource allocation models designed to show the effectiveness of efforts expended in debris clearance and removal related to the available resources.
