Elmendorf Air Force Base (AFB) is one of the two key en route
airfields for the Pacific Theater. The condition of en route
airfields has recently come to the attention of the DoD and the
GAO. Delays at these airfields may cause personnel and equipment to
arrive late in theater. Fuel systems at Elmendorf AFB are currently
being improved, but the GAO questions whether these improvements
will help the throughput. As well as being an en route airfield,
Elmendorf is also an important Interim Brigade Combat Team (IBCT)
APOE for Fort Richardson. The IBCT is designed to operate in
small-scale contingency operations in both complex and urban
locations. The IBCT will be deployed within ninety-six hours
between departure of first aircraft and arrival of last aircraft.
The IBCT also requires fifty percent hazardous cargo loads, which
reduces available parking for safety reasons.This research uses the
Airfield Simulation Tool (AST) to model both the en route and the
IBCT scenarios. The focus of the modeling effort is to understand
the limiting factors for both scenarios at Elmendorf AFB.
