Retrograde Transportation (RETRO II)

Abstract

The reason for performing this study was to develop a method of incorporating a workload (retrograde of damaged materiel within a theater of operations) not presently included in the process used for determining requirements for military transportation truck units within current force structure models. The study objective was to develop a method for estimating the impact of materiel retrograde on the wartime intratheater transportation requirements. The methodology was to be readily adaptable for inclusion in the Total Army Analysis force structure requirements process. The scope of the study was to examine the transport of retrograde materiel within the European theater of operations during the first 90 days of a potential conflict. Keywords: Army operations logistics; Reclamation/evacuation/maintenance.
