Comparative Analysis of the Amphibious Lift Computation Models MAGTF and TUMS.

Abstract

A comparative analysis has been conducted of the capabilities and limitations of the two computer models 'Marine Air Ground Task Force Lift Requirements and Logistics Planning Factors Model (MAGTF) (1975-1985)' and 'Type Unit Mobility Statistics (TUMS) Model' in light of the Marine Corps' requirement for a computerized amphibious lift computation capability. The comparative analysis considered seven individual Marine Corps units and a Marine Amphibious Force (MAF) for comparison of lift computations and by the two models. The study concludes that both models in their present configurations have major shortcomings and that neither model alone could satisfy the requirements presently being satisfied through use of both. The study also concludes that MAGTF has the greater potential for modification to meet the current requirements for a computerized lift computation capability. (Author)
