Modeling the Permanent Change of Station Moving Costs of Strategic Airlift Pilots.

Abstract

This thesis lays a foundation for PCS cost modeling for the United State Air Force. A SLAM II computer simulation was developed to simulate the career progression of the strategic airlift pilot career field, from accession into the Air Force until their 20th year of military service. The simulation considers the moves that a strategic airlift pilot will experience in a career based on Air Force regulations and current Air Force projections for the career field. Two response surfaces are developed from the different experimental designs used in the cost simulation. The first is a second order utilizing the attributes of the strategic airlift pilot career field such as accession rate, assignment allocations and tour lengths. The second is a second order response surface utilizing the CONUS, overseas short and overseas long tour lengths.
