In 2010, with lengthy counterinsurgency campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan winding down, the US Army needed to assess the impact of that transformation on its ability to conduct future campaigns. Specifically, the US Army needed to determine the ability of BCT mixes and designs to meet projected operational demands. The US Army Training and Doctrine Command Analysis Center was tasked to conduct this study. In this article, we discuss the optimization model that we developed to assess the best force mix to meet those demands. The model takes into account the missions that BCTs must accomplish, the Army Force Generation process, and active and reserve components, as well as other relevant factors. Along with other studies, this study informed the Army’s Force Modernization Review/Program Objective Memorandum 13-17, and Total Army Analysis 14-18.","PeriodicalId":54242,"journal":{"name":"Military Operations Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"51-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2014-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70948613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While attempting to fulfill several billet requirements, MCESG strives to balance MSG experience levels at each embassy detachment and assign MSGs to their preferred posts. The current assignment process is accomplished manually by three Marines and takes more than 6,000 hours per year. This thesis presents the Marine Security Guard Assignment Tool (MSGAT). MSGAT is an Excel-based decision support tool that utilizes a system of workbooks to guide MCESG through a streamlined data collection and provide optimal assignments. MSGAT assignments result in a higher satisfaction when compared with manual assignments. MSGAT has had an immediate and quantifiable impact on the assignment process. It has reduced person-hours by 80%, increased overall assignment quality and efficiency, and improved the operational readiness of MCESG by optimizing MSG assignments.","PeriodicalId":54242,"journal":{"name":"Military Operations Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"5-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70948711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
