This research explores the changes in insights resulting from using different types of models to assess the capability of deploying the Stryker Brigade within specific timeline goals. This research uses as its primary base one study conducted in 2002 by USTRANSCOM to evaluate the ability of Stryker to meet stated deployment timeline goals. Specifically, this thesis compares the outputs from four different models as they changes over three different deployment scenarios and ten different routes. This research investigates the relationships among the outputs of spreadsheet models, spreadsheet models with elements of variability added, and low- and high- level discrete event simulations. This research also explores the implications of applying newly proposed distributions describing the variability in aircraft cargo loads and en route ground times. The results of this research suggest that the type of model used to assess a deployment does indeed have an effect on the insights derived from exploring scenarios. This work also suggests that the newly proposed ground time distributions have a significant effect on the ability to move cargo through an en route system and also suggests what factors have the greatest limiting effect on the ability of Stryker to meet its deployment timeline goals.
