TSAR and TSARINA: Simulation Models for Assessing Force Generation and Logistics Support in a Combat Environment,

Abstract

The objectives of this paper are to prove an overview of the TSAR and TSARINA simulation models, and to illustrate their application. These models were developed to provide a method to assess how airbase attacks would affect the capability of airbases to generate effective combat sorties, and to evaluate how a wide range of airbase improvement options could increase the combat capability of airbases during wartime. TSAR simulates the complex interdependencies between the diverse kinds of support resources needed by a modern military organization to sustain combat, and as such has also been successfully applied to assessments of the readiness and sustainability of other kinds of military organizations. Following a description of model highlights, the application of these models is illustrated with some results from a recent analysis.
