Abstract:

This study performed an investigation on determining the appropriate number and locations of continental United States aerial ports. To accomplish this a linear programming formulation was adapted with the optimizing function based on trading off the cost of shipping cargo against port operating costs. Cargo would travel from CONUS origin, through aerial port of embarkation (APOE), to aerial port of debarkation (APOD) at a minimum cost to the DOD. The need for the study was precipitated by continued reductions in the military budget, consolidations of defense depots, and the reduction in the number of personnel stationed overseas.
