A Dyna-Metric Analysis of Supply Support for Mobile Tactical Radar Units in Europe.

Abstract

This investigation determined that there is an improved way to structure the resupply system used to support the USAFE TACS. After analyzing the resupply system, used to support the USAFETACS. After analyzing the resupply system and examining six alternative resupply systems qualitatively, the best method of resupply was postulated to be one using several forward supply points (prepositioned stock) with dedicated transportation assets to support these points. This best method was then modeled using the Dyna-METRIC model developed by the Rand Corporation. This model was originally developed for application to aircraft systems. This thesis represents the first time the model was adapted to accommodate mobile communications-electronics equipment. The model compared the proposed 'best' method of resupply against the resupply system currently in use in USAFE. The model quantitatively substantiated the proposed 'best' system could improve resupply support for the USAFE TACS.
