Scheduling and readiness considerations for a unit manning system

Abstract

The U.S. Army is undergoing a transition in personnel, doctrine, and equipment as it postures itself to better support our nation in the upcoming years. We examine the personnel transformation aspect, and in particular the scheduling and synchronization of unit manning. We address the need for change, the proposed format of those solutions, and the insights developed while constructing a scheduling tool to synchronize unit manning with rotational concepts and transformation.
