Combat Service Support (CSS) Vector-in-Commander (VIC) Analysis in Support of Southwest Asia Corps/Division Scenario 7.0 (SWA CDS 7.0) Excursion - CSS Analysis of VIC Dynamic Gaming Army of Excellence (AOE) Heavy Division Design

摘要

The Study and Analysis Center at the TRADOC Analysis Center requested that the TRAC-LEE Vector in Commander (VIC) team conduct an analysis of the CSS portrayed in a Southwest Asia Corps/Division Scenario 7.0 (SWA CDS 7.0) excursion. The combat unit elements, combat service elements, and the combat service support elements needed to be analyzed individually to determine whether or not each of these sections would be able to effectively perform under the given scenario conditions. TRAC-Lee was tasked to analyze the CSS capabilities of the Army of Excellence (AOE) Heavy Division Design for (SWA CDS 7.0). The AOE heavy division design was dynamically gamed using the VIC model in the SWA CDS 7.0 scenario. The CSS elements represented in VIC were analyzed by TRAC-Lee with the primary focus of the analysis was on the maintenance and supply operations and how the CSS units functioned for the given scenario. This analysis concluded that the CSS structure in the AOE Heavy Division Design can support the division during a 30 hour battle such as the one portrayed in the Southeast Asia 7.0 scenario. No CSS support services hindered the availability of any weapon systems. There were minor delays with respect to recovery vehicles and repair teams, but these delays were too inconsequential to consider them shortfalls in the CSS system.
