Stochastic Analysis of Resources for Deployments and Excursions (SARDE)

Abstract

This quick reaction analysis is a follow-on to the Stochastic Analysis for Deployments and Excursions (SADE) Study, performed in 1998. The effort employed a simulated queuing environment, the parameters of which are statistically derived from historical data to estimate the frequency duration, and simultaneity of future smaller-scale contingencies SSCs in which the Army might need to respond. Using this construct, the mission task organized forces (MTOFs) needed to respond to each SSC were identified and the required units counted. Through replication, a probability distribution of the simultaneously required units was developed. This analysis informed decision makers in the resourcing phase of the Total Army Analysis 2007 Study.
