An operations research approach for combat readiness assessment in the military system

Abstract

Combat Readiness (CR) is the preparedness of combat systems to accomplish some organized or assigned tasks. Measures of both concrete and abstract aspects of combat command are used to evaluate the battle preparedness of military forces. The mathematical model and equations for calculating combat readiness have been evaluated, and they show that many methods have been employed to operationalize their respective notions. The goal of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of previously constructed models using Mankilik's Lambda technique (1999). The simulation model was utilized to assess performance, and the results produced indicated good promise for assisting military commanders or decision makers in making quality decisions.
