Fire Maintenance and Logistics Analysis (Fire Main)

Abstract

The involvement of Joint Task Force (JTF) in fighting the Yellowstone National Park fire of 1988 provided a rare opportunity to acquire information about the soldier variables that are necessary to represent combat. During the fire fighting, JTF developed an AAR which recorded logistics, maintenance, and medical data on a daily basis. The Fire Fighting Task Force (FIRE) Study summarized the behavior characteristics during the fire, and suggested an examination of the AAR to determine medical, maintenance, and logistics issues which may have relevance to combat. The data from this actual Army operation will also be available for comparison with training experience, other Army operations, and garrison data. The results can also be used for: (1) future fire fighting planning, and (2) combat simulations.
