A Prototype Test of a Multi-Level Model for Military-Civilian Manpower Planning

This report provides a small numerical example of a multi-level model which links a program planning sub-model with military and civilian manpower sub-models. The purpose of the examples is to provide a vehicle to begin to attack the policy and data issues surrounding this complex problem. The example is first limited to the manpower dynamics of military and civilian manpower planning. Once the computer solution for these sub-models is shown, a complete multi-level model is developed to include program planning goals. The computational results indicate that direct linkages between models of manpower dynamics and macro program planning are feasible.
