Army 86 Cost Sensitivity Analysis.

Abstract

This report describes a sensitivity analysis based on the use of the Force Cost Information System (FCIS) in the development of cost data in support of the Army 86 studies. Division size forces are costed using three different methods to determine the requirement for the development of detailed cost data equipment. Battalion size forces are costed using the methodology developed with the division level analysis to ascertain if the methodology will work with smaller force units. The cost methodology shown in this report will reduce the cost data requirements submitted to DARCOM HQ with minimal impact on the results of a force cost effectiveness analysis. This methodology will be more responsive to the needs of CASAA in decreasing the time required to perform force costing and develop their impact on the Army 86 study alternatives. (Author)
