    A design of experiments approach to military deployment planning problem
    (IEEE, 2008) Yıldırım, Uğur Z.; Sabuncuoğlu, İhsan; Tansel, Barbaros; Balcıoğlu, A.
    We develop a logistics and transportation simulation that can be used to provide insights into potential outcomes of proposed military deployment plans.More specifically, we model the large-scale real-world military Deployment Planning Problem.It involves planning the movement of military units from their home bases to their final destinations using different transportation assets on a multimodal transportation network. We use an intelligent design of experiments approach to evaluate logistics factors with the greatest impact on the overall achievement of a typical real-world military deployment plan.

    A simulation model for military deployment
    (IEEE, 2007) Yıldırım, Uğur Z.; Sabuncuoğlu, İhsan; Tansel, Barbaros
    The Deployment Planning Problem (DPP) for military units may in general be defined as the problem of planning the movement of geographically dispersed military units from their home bases to their final destinations using different transportation assets and a multimodal transportation network while obeying the constraints of a time-phased force deployment data describing the movement requirements for troops and equipment. Our main contribution is to develop a GISbased, object-oriented, loosely-coupled, modular, platformindependent, multi-modal and medium-resolution discrete event simulation model to test the feasibility of deployment scenarios. While our simulation model is not a panacea for all, it allows creation and testing the feasibility of a given scenario under stochastic conditions and can provide insights into potential outcomes in a matter of a few hours.
