Revised OPTSA Model. Volume 3. The OPTSA Print-Run Program

Abstract

This report describes a program designed expressly to be used in conjunction with OPTSA model. Its purpose is to take allocations of Blue and Red general-purpose aircraft to the three missions (CAS, ABA, and INT) for each decision period in the war, and run them through the OPTSA assessment routine to determine and to print out a variety of quantities (e.g., number of aircraft and sorties of various kinds destroyed on each day by various means, values of the various MOEs on all intermediate days of the war, and levels of aircraft shelters and ground divisions on all intermediate days of the war). This new program is referred to as the 'print-run' program; the regular OPTSA model is called the 'game' program.
