Logistics Simulation For Long Duration Logistics Wargames, Kevin R. Cardenas
Logistics Simulation For Long Duration Logistics Wargames, Kevin R. Cardenas
Theses and Dissertations
Wargames were originally created to test wartime strategies against opposing forces within a short time frame. Due to the short duration design of these wargames, logistics were deemed irrelevant and it was incorrectly assumed that the warfighter would be logistically supported for the entire duration of the wargame. The purpose of this thesis is to provide insight to the value of capturing logistics within a wargame and to better model the increased requirement for Agile Combat Support. This research utilizes a logistics simulation tool and its outputs to conduct statistical analyses comparing a baseline scenario created to mirror the Joint …
