Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to determine if the Queuing
Graphical Evaluation Review Technique (Q-GERT) can accurately
model tactical military communications in a manner which can
be used and understood by managers who have little computer
expertise. Q-GERT is a FORTRAN-based analysis package which
models networks consisting of events (nodes) and activities
(arcs). The communications of a mechanized brigade covering force
is easily modeled using Q-GERT symbolism and user written
FORTRAN inserts; however, a manager must be proficient in
FORTRAN and have access to the 1000 node/1000 arc Q-GERT
package to accurately implement this model. The conclusion of this thesis is that Q-GERT is a flexible
modeling technique which should prove to be a valuable
managerial tool for the military manager when the larger
Q-GERT package is used.
