Analytical Tool to Assess Aeromedical Evacuation Systems for the Department ofDefense

摘要

The research was commissioned by, and conducted for, the HQ AMC Surgeon Generalto assist him in making a hard decision. Should the McDonnell-Douglas C-9A Nightingale be replaced, and, if so, with what. Using tools based in Keeney's Value-Focused Thinking methodology, the SG's values for this decision were quantified, alternatives that addressed these values were generated, and those alternatives were evaluated using his values to suggest preferred alternatives.
