Postprocessors for the Force Evaluation Model (POSTFOR) Study.
Abstract
This report documents the work done at CAA in developing automated postprocessors for the Force Evaluation Model (FORCEM). The FORCEM is a computer simulation of land and air combat, logistics, and support in a theater of operations, and is intended to become the primary model for theater campaign simulations in CAA studies. These studies require postprocessor computer programs to extract particular results of the FORCEM campaign simulations and to combine FORCEM simulation results with computerized data from other sources, as required for subsequent analysis. These postprocessors include a force roundout postprocessor that determines the Army combat support and service support units required to support a given combat force, as well as postprocessors that calculate requirements for Army ammunition, fuel and replacement equipment in wartime. This report describes the methodology adopted for each FORCEM postprocessor and also serves as a user's manual for the computer programs developed as postprocessors to the FORCEM. (Author)
