Concepts of a Manpower Replacement System for a Marine Air Ground Task Force in a Deployed/Tactical Environment

摘要

This thesis is designed to illustrate concepts of a manpower replacement system for a Marine Air Ground Task Force in a deployed/tactical environment. In this environment, the G-1 is tasked with the responsibility of coordinating all efforts associated with personnel replacements in an efficient and timely manner. The first part discusses the requirements for such a system. The second part discusses the requirements of the system, including data elements and data flow requirements. The third part explores several alternative ways of satisfying this requirement. The recommended alternative utilizes distributed processing over packet radio networks linked to the defense data network via gateways. Applicable attributes of both the DDN and Packet Radio technologies are discussed extensively.
