ProModel Corporation's Simulation Software utilized by the 2006 RIST prize winning Center for Army Analysis AFGM (Army Forces Generation Modeling Simulation) study team.ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- ProModel Corporation a leading enterprise simulation technology based, decision support company, provided the simulation selected and utilized by the award winning Center for Army Analysis AFGM AFGM A Few Good Men (Howard University) AFGM American Federation of Grain Millers (Army Force Generation Model) team. The AFGM simulation team won the 2006 RIST prize awarded annually by the Military Operations Research Society The Military Operations Research Society (MORS) is a society for professionals active within defense applications of operations research (OR) in the United States. Membership include analysts, researchers, consultants and officers in the United States Department of Defense, (MORS) for the best implemented study submitted in response to its call for entries. At the 74th MORS Symposium, the David Rist Prize was presented to: LTC LTC abbr. lieutenant colonel Steven Stoddard, LTC Mark Brantley, LTC Clark Heidelbaugh, LTC Paul Hurley Paul Michael Hurley (born July 12, 1946 in Melrose, Massachusetts) is a retired professional ice hockey player who played 311 games in the World Hockey Association and 1 game in the National Hockey League between 1969 and 1977. , MAJ Robert Shearer, Joshua Klimas and Brett Marvin for their study entitled Army Force Generation Model Simulation (AFGM). The project was endorsed by LTG LTG abbr. lieutenant general David F. Melcher, USA Deputy Chief of Staff, G-8, and Dr. Wm. Forrest Crain, Director Capabilities Integration Prioritization and Analysis. The Center for Army Analysis selected ProModel as their simulation partner of choice for the following reasons: * Analytical prowess in both the deterministic and stochastic arenas * Modeling capabilities of complex interdependencies * Model visualization for decision makers * Visual validation of the modeled process The Army continually examines its force structure and its ability to meet strategic requirements. Demand for forces is driven by national strategy, a force planning Planning associated with the creation and maintenance of military capabilities. It is primarily the responsibility of the Military Departments and Services and is conducted under the administrative control that runs from the Secretary of Defense to the Military Departments and Services. construct and on-going operations. Supply of forces is constrained by unit lifecycles (training, readiness, deployments, and recovery), transformation, AC and RC forces levels, and rotations. The Army developed the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN ARFORGEN Army Force Generation (US DoD) ) concept to manage the supply of forces over a variety of demand scenarios. The Center for Army Analysis developed the Army Forces Generation Model (AFGM) Simulation study to model Army force structure options and policies within ARFORGEN and determine the appropriate size of the force. The Center for Army Analysis utilized ProModel Corporation's discrete-event simulation technology to construct their MARATHON model. MARATHON was developed to simulate the flow of active and reserve units through operational readiness The capability of a unit/formation, ship, weapon system, or equipment to perform the missions or functions for which it is organized or designed. May be used in a general sense or to express a level or degree of readiness. Also called OR. See also combat readiness. cycles of 1 through 6 years at a very high level. ProModel has an established presence in the U.S. Federal government as a provider of leading simulation technology and associated technical services. ProModel is developing the ARFORGEN Synchronization Tool for US Army Forces Command (FORSCOM FORSCOM United States Army Forces Command ). Under the terms of the FORSCOM contract, ProModel will provide technology and services to the Army over the next 5 years to develop this mission essential tool for the Army.
