Simulation modeling and analysis methodologies gives an opportunity to staff officers and commanders to measure the effectiveness of their plans and take necessary precautions. In a simulated environment, different combat scenarios can be tried without actually deploying the units to the combat area and getting \u2018losts, costs, and risks\u2019. As one of the most complicated and decisive operations on the road to victory, \u2018air assault operations\u2019 are high-risk, high-payoff operations that, when properly planned and vigorously executed, allow commanders to take the initiative in combat areas. In this study, we develop a simulation system called the Air Assault Operations Simulation Model (AAOSM) that allows planners to: (1) analyze air assault operations early in the decision process and refine those models as their decision process evolves, (2) perform \u2018 bottleneck analysis\u2019 of the preplanned operations, and (3) perform \u2018 risk management\u2019 of the operation before conducting the real operation. AAOSM is developed by using the ARENA simulation programming language. The outputs of the model are analyzed using statistical methods. The factors that have significant effect on air assault operations are identified. The possible scenarios are also evaluated for different weather and terrain conditions and for various refueling and maintenance configurations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549710393991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,20]],"date-time":"2011-01-20T21:10:30Z","timestamp":1295557830000},"page":"1002-1014","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Modeling and analyzing army air assault operations via simulation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Ihsan","family":"Sabuncuoglu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering, Bilkent University, 06800 Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G\u00f6khan","family":"Virlan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Army Aviation School, 06790 Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0037549710393991","first-page":"788","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1994 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Henry H"},{"key":"bibr2-0037549710393991","first-page":"839","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1994 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Blais CL"},{"key":"bibr3-0037549710393991","first-page":"849","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1998 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Garrabbrants WM"},{"key":"bibr4-0037549710393991","first-page":"736","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1988 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Rubin PE"},{"key":"bibr5-0037549710393991","first-page":"535","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1991 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Litko JR"},{"key":"bibr6-0037549710393991","first-page":"1193","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1995 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Zahn EA"},{"key":"bibr7-0037549710393991","first-page":"1257","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1995 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Briggs DD"},{"key":"bibr8-0037549710393991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/opre.39.5.710"},{"key":"bibr9-0037549710393991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/875647930400100301"},{"key":"bibr10-0037549710393991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1057\/palgrave.jors.2601714"},{"key":"bibr11-0037549710393991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/opre.44.2.305"},{"key":"bibr12-0037549710393991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/opre.50.4.582.2864"},{"key":"bibr13-0037549710393991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1057\/palgrave.jors.2602176"},{"key":"bibr14-0037549710393991","author":"Turner DD","year":"2007","journal-title":"US Army Research Laboratory"},{"key":"bibr15-0037549710393991","unstructured":"JANUS Software. http:\/\/www.leav.army.mil-\/nsc\/famsim\/janus\/index.htm."},{"key":"bibr16-0037549710393991","volume-title":"Simulation with ARENA","author":"Kelton WD","year":"2010","edition":"5"},{"key":"bibr17-0037549710393991","first-page":"805","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 1998 Winter Simulation Conference","author":"Smith RD"},{"key":"bibr18-0037549710393991","volume-title":"Simulation Modeling and Analysis","author":"Law AM","year":"2007","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr19-0037549710393991","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/9780470172445"},{"key":"bibr20-0037549710393991","volume-title":"Design and Analysis of Experiments","author":"Montgomery DC","year":"1992","edition":"4"}],"container-title":["SIMULATION"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0037549710393991","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0037549710393991","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T11:22:56Z","timestamp":1777634576000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0037549710393991"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,20]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0037549710393991"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0037549710393991","relation":{},"ISSN":["0037-5497","1741-3133"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0037-5497","type":"print"},{"value":"1741-3133","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,20]]}}}
