- Title: Using the Force and Support Costing System: An Introductory Guide and Tutorial
|
Product Description: The Force and Support Costing (FSC) System is a set of models and databases that help analysts project the cost implications of proposed changes in the defense forces, infrastructure, and assets. The user interface and many of the models are implemented in Excel; most of the database resides on a network. The illustrated study projects effects on defense costs arising from the deactivation of an Army division. The FSC system allows the user to view the force structure in the current Army program, select the division to be cut, and specify when the deactivation will occur. In addition to stepping throught the specific procedures for the simulation, the authors show other ways FSC System can be used to analyze the cost effects of various policy actions.
