Simulation and Manpower Forecasting Models for Tactical Aerial Port Operations in a Contingency Environment

摘要

Military Airlift Command (MAC), Mobile Aerial Port (MAP) contingency manpower requirements are currently determined through the use of the USAF Manpower Force Packaging System and Unit Type Codes (UTCs). The research objective was to develop quantitative models which accurately represented the functional relationship of the variables affecting the manning requirements of Mobile Aerial Ports. Two computer simulation models of MAP activities were developed and then statistically analyzed to isolate workload and processing time factors to be included in the predictive mathematical models. Analysis of the predictive models generally indicated that the model results, within certain limits, yield close approximations of UTC manpower requirements. (Author)
