Figure B.10—Stock Variables
The flow sections of the force allocation datasheet look very similar. For the AC,
there are columns to redeploy AC units already deployed (ACMaxD columns) and columns
to deploy AC units at home (ACMaxH columns). For the RC, there are only columns to
deploy RC units at home since the model does not allow the redeployment of RC units that
are already deployed. The flow sections of the force allocation datasheet are initially empty
and are then populated by the force assignment algorithm. Figure B.11 shows the flow
sections of the force allocation datasheet before forces are assigned.

Constraints on Unit Status
The stock sections of the force allocation datasheet constrain how units change
status over time. For instance, a unit home for three periods in this period should be home
