A high resolution ammunition resupply model

Abstract

This thesis presents a computer simulated model of ammunition resupply in a Q.S. combat battalion. The model is based on current ammunition resupply doctrine and has been designed as a stand-alone simulation. Additionally, this model has been structured to parallel the Simulation of Tactical Alternative Responses (STAR) model so that future enhancements might include its full integration into the STAR model. When such an integration is accomplished, the important dimension of combat service support will become an influencing factor in the decision making process at all levels of the combat model.
