This thesis describes EMBARK, a system of computer programs
developed to automate one of the phases of embarkation planning.
These programs are designed to accumulate the information and produce
the loading forms required to prepare the loading plan for a Marine
Corps amphibious landing.
The system will print the following documents: Unit Cargo
Manifest, Cargo and Loading Analysis Form, Vehicle Summary and
Priority Table, and Unit Personnel and Tonnage Table.
In the past, these forms were prepared manually from information
accumulated manually: a slow, laborious process. Today, the time
element in warfare has become critical. Amphibious operations which
formerly could be planned and executed over a period of months must
now be accomplished in weeks. In order to reduce the planning and
execution times, it is necessary to mechanize the preparation of the
loading forms. The EMBARK system was developed to accumulate the
necessary information, process it, and produce the loading forms.
The methods of the system are described and illustrated. Finally,
the use of computers to solve other amphibious planning problems is
considered.
