 | The Army's Rapid Fielding Initiative (RFI) is the process by which new equipment is distributed to Soldiers either at home station or in a theater of operations. Currently equipment is shipped from over 50 suppliers around the United States to a single central warehouse on the east coast where it is packaged into sets. The sets are then shipped to the end user stationed at one of over 40 locations ... |

|
| While a large number of partnerships form as defensive measures in response to fierce global competition, distress over future uncertainties, and a lack of alternative methods to ensure continued survival, synergistic partnerships are characterized as being cooperative learning experiences that benefit all the parties involved. The best partnerships are those that develop into strategic alliances helping to capture and create value that would otherwise have been difficult to realize if ... |

|
| The families of fallen soldiers are required to complete a considerable number of forms in order to receive various benefits and entitlements from the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Administration, Internal Revenue Service, and Social Security Administration. They must do so at a time when the families' grief is raw and normal tasks seem an unbearable burden. Active duty soldiers appointed Casualty Assistance Officers (CAOs) assist surviving families through ... |

|
| The Army acquisition community requires high-resolution simulations that represent the dismounted infantry soldier in enough detail to conduct an analysis of alternatives (AOA) for individual weapons and equipment. These models must also be capable of assessing future, proposed capabilities and technologies. Previous work completed in May 2004 proposed the creation of a federation between three different simulation models to achieve this capability. Over the past two years, the Operations Research ... |

|
| This paper provides a detailed perspective on the problem-solving methodology used to develop a capabilities-based design template for the Army's future Battle Command Training Center. Central to this process was a simulation-based approach to evaluating the core capabilities of the BCTC and validating capability requirements for three facility sizes. Additionally, it will show how our efforts generated an analytical tool that the Army can use to assist in the design ... |

| Used to improve military effectiveness, enhance warfighting readiness, and reduce operating costs, simulations have become commonplace in nearly all areas of the U.S. Armed Forces. From material acquisition to force Structure analysis, from first-person video-game shooters to network-centric battle staff exercises, simulations have progressed into becoming intrinsic components of nearly all aspects of the military landscape. As the military has become more accustomed to using simulations and its expectations have ... |
