Final Design Documentation for the Wartime Personnel Assessment Model (WARPAM) (Version 1.0)

Abstract : The wartime Personnel Assessment Model (WARPAM) is a skeletal model, designed for operation on a Sun workstation, links the outputs from several Army models and then through a series of simulations produces a comprehensive depiction of the Army wartime personnel replacement system. Specifically, WARPAM provides the capability to: forecast the personnel system's potential to satisfy projected requirements, link doctrinal concepts with output from current 'stand alone' Army models, simulate the reclassification of return-to-duty personnel generate logistical needs to support the personnel system and perform 'What if' analysis regarding force structure or doctrinal changes. These capabilities enable TRAC-FBHN to provide quantitative input to the Army's macro-level decision-making process in regards to analyzing and evaluating force structure and personnel replacement doctrine and also satisfy the Army's requirement for micro-level modeling of replacement center activities.
