Abstract
This thesis develops a methodology that can be used to determine the type and
quantity of mobile electric power generators necessary to meet current and future total
Marine Corps electrical demand. This determination is a major part of the formal
Marine Corps Mobile Electric Power Requirements Analysis. It is conducted in two
steps. The first step involves application of the Army's Belvoir Generator Allocation
Program (BGAP), a computer program that determines individual unit generator
requirements, to individual Marine Corps units. The second step uses the BGAP results
as input and determines the total force generator requirements and allocations over time
using the Marine Corps Mobile Electric Power Optimization Model (MCMEPOM), a
new model developed in this thesis. MCMEPOM is a non-consumptive demand,
multiperiod linear programming model implemented with the General Algebraic
Modeling System (GAMS).
