A PLANNING MODEL FOR ROUTE SECURITY.
Abstract
The use of escort and reaction forces in defending road transport convoys against ambushes is described by two models which comprise a planning model. A single-server queueing model with Poisson arrivals and a general service time distribution is used to develop a measure of the utilization of the escort and reaction forces. A combat attrition model of guerrilla warfare and a probability distribution of ambush locations are used to derive the service time distribution for the queueing model. Suggested uses for the planning model in cost-effectiveness studies and war gaming are discussed. (Author)
