Summary The scope of this work is to provide continuing studies on an operational model, physics-based where possible, of various systems, both existing and proposed for fleet and force sustainment. This model will allow the rational assessment of candidate technologies. The model can then be used to identify technology gaps along with proposed solutions. A simple computable metric, is proposed in order to evaluate the relative merit of different options. In order to narrow the initial scope of the study, we will concentrate on a scenario involving sea base expeditionary maneuver forces for combat operations ashore.
