A System Dynamics Simulation Model for a Four-Rank Military Workforce

Abstract

This report presents a system dynamics simulation model for a four-rank military workforce, that includes both the combat and training components. A qualitative analysis using a Causal Loop Diagram displays the feedback loop structure of the workforce and its impacts on the management of training. The simulation model is applicable to strategic training policy design and analysis, in answering what if & questions, and workforce planning in expanding military organisations.
