- Summary
- The Air Force's transition from a threat-based to a capabilities-based planning posture suggests the need to calculate swiftly the manpower and equipment required to generate those capabilities. This book outlines just such a methodology for determining deployment requirements. The methodology employs a prototype research tool--the Strategic Tool for the Analysis of Required Transportation (START)--which generates lists of capability units required to support a user-specified operation. The appendix serves as a user's guide to the START program.
