Abstract
Project Summary: Commander Naval Surface Forces (COMNAVSURFOR) provides appropriately manned, trained, and equipped surface forces to operational commanders to meet presence and operational requirements in accordance with various plans and directives. This research developed a management tool to assimilate all readiness metrics (manning levels, maintenance requirements, training, and ordnance loadouts) to help COMNAVSURFOR staff to understand if future requirements can be met and/or what resource gaps and shortfalls must be addressed. Optimization (integer linear programming) was used to identify the most efficient coverage of presence and operational requirements given resource constraints and to aid in gap identification. Detailed classified results are reported in the Operations Research thesis completed by LT Fields in September 2018. A demonstration to COMNAVSURFOR (VADM Brown) occurred in October 2018.
