Abstract
Since the use of enhanced technology by the opposing forces, Turkish Armed Forces
must adopt new tactics, employ appropriately upgraded delivery equipment to deliver
rations, fuel, ammunition, personnel, repair parts to forces in forward areas to be able to
react in time. Within the budget limits, the opportunity to explore new tactics and to test
and evaluate new logistics material delivery equipment is correspondingly difficult and
sometimes impossible. However, by the use of simulation, which is inexpensive, new
supply distribution techniques employing different equipment combinations both
currently existing and experimental can be tested.
In this study, we evaluate the performance of the existing and new systems of army
corps artillery ammunition supply systems. The objective is to see whether the systems
operate properly and to select the system design.
