A STRATEGIC SIMULATION TOOL FOR CAPABILITY-BASED JOINT FORCE STRUCTURE ANALYSIS

Abstract

This paper describes a stochastic discrete event simulation model for scheduling of joint military force structures. The model employs capability-based methods to link scenario requirements to force structure assets. Assignment of assets to scenarios is designed to attempt to mimic the decisions of a military scheduler. Force structure performance is evaluated based on how well and how often scenario capability requirements are met. The model output permits options analysis, capability gap analysis, determination of optimal force structure composition, and evaluation of force structure performance in the face of changing requirements and policies (such as readiness and sustainment, operations tempo, and personnel tempo constraints).
