ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words) This analysis develops a methodology to determine the optimal loadout for the Supply (AOE-6) class fast combat stores ship. The methodology employed tests the ability of a Supply class AOE station ship to resupply and rearm a battle group for offensive operations, including combat. Given a generic scenario, the AOE-6 is loaded with ordnance that provides the maximum benefit to the battle group. Once the AOE-6 is loaded with ordnance, several generic battle groups are developed where the quantity of each necessary commodity in the battle group is tracked daily, and the consolidation schedule for the AOE-6 is determined. From this data, the optimization model finds the minimum number of CONSOLS required to maintain the minimum levels and consequently the optimal cargo fuel mix to configure the AOE-6 station ship. The output for each battle group composition is then analyzed and a cargo fuel mix for the AOE-6 is determined that will respond to the largest number of possible tasking with minimum reconfiguration of fuel tanks. 14.

From Haiti to Bosnia, to the Taiwan Strait, to Liberia, to the skies over Iraq, they have achieved great suc- cess at minimal cost in nearly fifty operations since Desert Storm. Quality people, superior organization, unity of com- mand, and considerable skill in joint and combined operations have been central to that achievement. All these factors owe a great debt to the Gold- water-Nichols DOD Reorgani- zation Act of 1986, whose 10th anniversary is celebrated in this issue of JFQ. Indeed, the effects of Goldwater-Nichols have been so imbedded in the military that many members of the Armed Forces no longer remem- ber the organizational problems that brought about this law.
