Modeling force deployment from army installations using the transportation systemcapability (TRANSCAP) model

摘要

Planning a military deployment is a complex, multi-phased problem. Depolymentplanners must consider the constraints, options, and available infrastructure at each installation, from the beginning of the transportation system in the United States to the end of the deployment in the host country. The Military Transportation management Command Transportation Engineering Agency (MTMCTEA), in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne), developed the Transportation System Capability (TRANSCAP) model to simulate deployment of forces from army bases. TRANSCAP uses sophisticated simulation processes to conduct detailed analyses, plan real-world operations, and train army
