Determining Training Demand for an Expanding Military Organisation

Abstract

This report discusses the disadvantages of a training plan whereby instructors don't return to the combat force after the expansion training period. We propose an efficient plan to calculate training demand for an expanding military force. The proposed plan takes care of the effect of instructors returning to the combat force, thus eliminating surplus instructors and reducing the number of trainees required. Two types of mathematical models are constructed for implementation of the proposed plan. Two application tools are created to facilitate the model solving. Examples to illustrate the benefits of applying the proposed plan are given.
