Current force planning methodology for determining the
proper level, mix, and balance of U.S. Army Engineer Forces
required to support theater level military operations is
examined and a linear programming model is described for use
in the planning process. The structure of the linear programming
model and feasible ways to derive required parameter
values are explained in detail. A test problem and results
obtained using the linear programming model are presented to
amplify the explanations and to provide a basis for further
evaluation and analysis. Alternate model formulation for
solving minimum force, minimum cost, or maximum productivity
theater force objectives, and extensions for applications of
the model in force development and analysis activities are
described.

High speed linear induction motor efficiency optimization
Johnson, Andrew Peter (Monterey California.

This has restricted the ... -
