Abstract:

This document describes the Computer Assisted Deployment Planning Program CADEPP and provides specific instructions for its use. CADEPP has been designed under the auspices of a student and faculty Strategic Mobility Study Effort to support ADP instructional requirements at the US Army Command and General Staff College. CADEPP has application throughout the CAC community and can be used in areas other than strategic mobility. CADEPP currently has two basic components a data base the Type Unit Force File and a three part application program the Movement Characteristics Identifier, the Gross Airlift Planner, and the Airlift Feasibility Estimator. Each of these components is described in detail in Part 1 of this document. Copies of the program have bben forwarded to the Air Command and Staff College, FORSCOM, and 3 Corps at their request. CADEPP is a first generation computer system representing the initial effort to provide the USACGCS with a computer assisted deployment planning capability. It is intended that the system will be expanded and refined over time through a continuing student-faculty effort.
