This thesis extends the development of algorithms for modeling planning
processes in the AirLand Research Model (ALARM), an on-going research effort at
the Naval Postgraduate School. An algorithm is developed to determine optimal
mission assignments for supporting combat resources based on the determination of
optimal firer-target combinations. The method of differential games is adopted as the
optimizer for the algorithm. The algorithm is applied to a problem of determining
artillery battalion mission assignments in supporting a U.S. brigade engaged with an
enemy division. The algorithm is solved using FORTRAN 77 and the IMSL routine
DGEAR.
