Evaluation of mobilization and deployment plan of a Turkish armored battalion via simulation
(2001) Müslüm, Selim
As being ready for war as soon as possible and with minimum casualties during the crises is the first mission for the troops, the Mobilization and Deployment Plan arises as one of the most important topic for Army. Because this plan includes all the activities that troops have to execute for responding against enemy immediately. In this study, the performance of existing Mobilization and Deployment Plan of a Turkish Armored Battalion is evaulated via simulation. The Mobilization and Deployment simulation model allows military operation planners to build models of Mobilization and Deployment operation of troops early in decision process; perform bottleneck analysis and take necessary measures against the problem areas; and perform risk management of the operations before conducting the real ones. In this thesis, our objectives are to evaulate the Mobilization and Deployment system of an Armored Battalion, find out the significant factors of enemy threat on the existing system, detect the most hazardous border and the most hazardous factor for each border, and discover the system limits. The output of the model is analysed by experimental design, and ranking and selection procedures. The code of simulation model is written in ARENA simulation program.

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.
