directly from the force demand datasheet shown in Figure B.7 . The total deployed column
keeps track of the total number of units deployed in each period, which we define as
TotalDep(t). The cadre ready column keeps track of the number of cadre units ready to
deploy in each period, which we define as CadreReady(t). The cadre deployed column
specifies the number of cadre units that are assigned to be deployed in a given period, which
we define as CadreDep(t). Lastly, the AC deployed column keeps track of the number of AC
units deployed in a given period, which we define as ACDep(t).
There are four groups of columns that specify the stock of AC and RC units home
and deployed and constrain the movement of units over time. The Deployed group specifies
the stock of units deployed. For the AC, the number of columns in this group is determined
by the AC deployment length specified by the user, which we define as ACMaxD. The
number of columns in the RC deployed group is equal to the length of deployment minus
the number of periods required for post-mobilization training, which we define as RCMaxD.
The Home group specifies the number of units at home. The number of columns in
AC home is determined by the peacetime requirement and the number of AC units specified
by the user, which we define as ACMaxH. The number of columns in RC Home is equal to
the RC dwell time plus the post-mobilization training requirement, which we define as
RCMaxH. This ensures that an RC unit is at home for at least the specified dwell time plus
post-mobilization training before being redeployed. The AC and RC stock sections of the
force allocation datasheet are shown in Figure B.10.
