The Army of today is being asked to deploy all over the world. The
missions that the soldiers are asked to do are as diverse as the
locations they deployed to. In the future, as the Army becomes a
more lighter and leaner force, it will be asked to go more places
and on shorter notices. However, it will be asked to deploy with
the same level of lethality it did when it was alarger more robust
force. Commanders need tools when asked to deploy forces. They need
help when deciding quickly how to get their forces to the fight.
This thesis develops such a tool and applies it to operations in
Kosovo. It provides a solution to the problem of what is the
optimal European port to use when deploying forces to Kosovo. The
tool use is an objective method that cancels out biases with facts
and assumptions that pertain to the problem. It examines each
course of action by comparing them to evaluation criteria. The
criteria are derived from guidance from the Commanding General of
both U.S. Army Europe and the 21st Theater Support Command. The
result of this study shows that Burgas, Bulgaria is the best course
of action for deploying forces to Kosovo. It also explains that
other factors that were not included in the study could have had an
effect on the final recommendation. Overall, this study provides an
unbiased answer to the question of which port to use for deploying
forces to Kosovo and provides commanders a tool that will assist
them when deploying forces in the future.
