Evaluation of ammunition and fuel supply systems of a Turkish armored battalion during mobilization and deployment using simulation
(2002) Özçevik, Aydın
In current wars, supply systems have become vital factors to reach military success. With improvements in technology, the capabilities and means of military units have also improved and as a result, the supply materials which military units require have also increased greatly. The timely delivery of supply materials to the combatant units is the key to success. The delivery of supply materials to combatant units at the right time and as needed can only be possible with the efficient planning of supply systems by staff officers. The insufficient evaluation of supply systems will cause interruptions in delivery of supply materials to combatant units and consequently prevent the combatant units from accomplishing their tasks. In this study, the existing ammunition and fuel supply systems of an armored battalion before alarm order is evaluated via simulation. By using the simulation models which were coded for existing systems, commanders will have the capability to detect potential problems and take precautions. The main objectives of this study are: (1) To evaluate existing systems via simulation because of difficulties in executing real world systems due to impediments in creating real world conditions and also economic reasons. (2) To detect the factors which have significant effects on the existing system. (3) To foresee the probable problems of the existing system by studying the simulation model outputs using statistical methods. (4) To select the most critical region of Turkey according to performance measures of interest. The codes of models are created by using ARENA 3.0 simulation program and SIMAN programming language.

Evaluation of army corps food supply system using simulation
(2002) Pembe, Ozan
Food Supply System is one of the main elements of Army Logistics System. The ultimate objective in food supply system is to provide the food at the right time and at the right place. If this objective is achieved, the morale, the health and the strength of the soldiers on the battlefield will enormously enhance. In the literature, particularly in Turkish Army, there is no study which tests whether the existing food supply system operates properly or not under the war conditions and which shows the potential problem areas and which specify time standards under different scenarios. The objective of this study is to answer these questions by the help of simulation model of the system. This model can also be helpful to the staff officers who prepare logistic support plans. The simulation model of Army Corps Food Supply System is built in Arena 3.0. The results are analyzed by statistical methods. The related bibliography is also provided in the thesis.

Modeling and analysis of movement of a Turkish armored battalion to mobilization task area using simulation
(2002) Ürek, Burhan
Beginning with the cold war era especially the Combat Readiness and Peacekeeping missions become more important than the other tasks of the armies. The War Gaming and the Combat Simulations, which are developed especially for the purpose of evaluating combat between heavily armored forces, have recently been dealing with these new missions. The movement of ground forces, which is one of the major tasks of any ground commander, becomes a very significant operation in these new missions. In this study, the existing movement plan of a Turkish Armored Battalion is studied by using a simulation model of the system. This simulation model helps staff officers of the headquarters which are the planners of military operations to build movement plans for the armored battalions early in decision process, identifies the problem areas in the movement plan, and takes necessary precautions, and evaluates the risk management before conducting a real operation. iii This thesis aims for modeling and evaluating the movement of a Turkish armored battalion emplaced next to border from assembly area to the mobilization task areas, determining the amount of time delay of each retarding event caused both by terrain and the enemy and analyzing the cost for using the semi-trailers to carry armored vehicles of the battalion. The output of the model is analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. The code of the simulation is written in Arena simulation program.

Simulation of personnel mobilization and completion system at brigade level
(2001) Karamalak, Levent
Turkish Armed Forces maintains the number of personnel in their units at minimum level during peacetime because of some political and economical reasons, but it sustains some activities under the name of “Personnel Mobilization and Completion System” to enable these units to reach their personnel numbers sufficient to combat in war situation. Today, for only a small part of this system Turkish Armed Forces can perform field exercises to see its behavior. There is no study to investigate all aspects of this system, which has a very important role in directly affecting the combat power of the Army. This thesis aims to analyze and, if there is any, to offer some solutions for the problems by using the simulation method. We believe that by using the simulation model of this system a scientific support mechanism for the commanders during the decision process can be provided. Moreover, by using this model, some improper functions can be detected earlier just at peacetime and some probable solutions can be evaluated with the help of studies including alternative system comparisons and optimization of some decision variables.
