An Analysis of Major Training Area Operations in V Corps, US Army Europe.

Abstract

This thesis presents the results of applying operations research to V Corps' Major Training Area (MTA) operations in the Federal Republic of Germany. The study examines three aspects of these MTA operations; the movement of tracked vehicles to training sites; the prediction and allocation of supply costs associated with MTAs and the scheduling of MTA operations. The thesis concentrates on developing methodologies which are immediately implementalbe by V Corps and which will assist the Corps commander and his staff in their efforts to solve problems in these three areas. The thesis develops a computer assisted scheduling system with a user's guide, and sets forth MTA movement costs and aspects of MTA supply costs for consideration by the commander and his staff in the decision making proccess.
