Abstract

The shift to a US Air Force structured for expeditionary operations has presented the Air Force with a number of challenges in planning, executing, and support operations involving resources such as munitions, fuel, engines, avionics, and war reserve material. In an expeditionary world, the logistics support processes must be capable of responding to rapidly deployed forces, either by deploying along with the fighting units or by connecting support processes in permanent locations to the remote forces. In this paper, we present a general approach for reshaping logistics processes to meet Air Force expeditionary operational goals. We develop capability-based logistics models consisting of rules and algorithms that compute process timelines and requirements for material, equipment, and personnel. We use both optimization and heuristic techniques to formulate a location–allocation solution that can further refine the process.
