Simulations for Logistics Training and Mission Planning

A military organization is very much a mechanism for moving stupendous amounts of stuff — people and materiel — from one place to another. After the skill and bravery of the troops, logistics is perhaps the next most critical component in the success of any strategy or mission. Militaries have long understood the value of simulations for planning, training, and exploring multiple options to determine which is best.

Military logistics faces a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). SCM Globe is poised to empower military planners and logistics personnel with powerful, easy to use applications for training, planning and managing supply chains in high change environments. See example, "Strategic Supply Chains - Improving Battle Strategies," in blog posts below.

Military Logistics Solutions

SCM Globe is usable by all levels of logistics and operations personnel in the field — not just small groups of experts at headquarters:

  • Quickly plan and simulate any supply chain, anywhere in the world.
  • Drag-and-drop icons on a digital map to accurately position facilities, vehicles and routes.
  • Easy control of supply chain variables to explore different designs and decisions.
  • Simulations show real-time inventory levels, vehicle utilization and operating costs.
  • Supply chain designs that work well in simulations will work well in the real world too.

We and our consulting partners can help you get started, see more about our services and pricing here SCM Globe Services and Pricing.

Sample Military Case Studies

Proof of concept project for the U.S. Defense Health Agency

SCM Globe participated in a proof of concept project for the U.S. Defense Health Agency. We added a logistics dimension to other virtual reality (VR) training simulations. Other VR training simulations simulated treating a wounded soldier at a point of injury (POI); or evacuating wounded soldiers by helicopter or armored personnel carrier to a field […]

Humanitarian Supply Chains: Syria Evacuation Scenario (CIV and MIL)

CASE STUDY CONCEPT: Mission Planning Under Conditions of Stress and Uncertainty. We live in a world where joint military and civilian humanitarian missions are called for with increasing frequency. Working through this case will give you deeper insights into the logistics required to support humanitarian and military operations. Situation Report — There is suddenly an […]

Battle of Smolensk – 1941 Invasion of Russia

CASE STUDY CONCEPT: Strategy and Logistics are Two Sides of the Same Coin. “There is nothing more common than to find considerations of supply affecting the strategic lines of a campaign and a war.” – Carl von Clausewitz The path taken by the German Army in its advance on Moscow in the summer of 1941 […]

Russian Logistics for the Invasion of Ukraine

We’re working with instructors at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) to model and simulate supply chains supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These supply chain models are used by students studying military logistics at AFIT and the Air Force Logistics Officers Schoolhouse (AFLOS). The models are available in the online library (different versions […]

Strategic Supply Chains – Improving Battle Strategies

Teams of Air Force officers studying military logistics at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) used simulations to recreate and redesign the supply chains that supported three critical campaigns of World War II. Those campaigns were: 1) British Army’s campaign against the Italian and German Army in North Africa; 2) German Army’s invasion of […]

Low-Code Platforms Transforming Supply Chain Management

In the fast-paced world of supply chain management, agility, and efficiency are no longer just order winners—they’re order qualifiers. Traditional software development approaches often fall short, struggling to deliver the speed and flexibility required. To address these challenges, companies increasingly turn to low-code platforms, which promise rapid application development, integration flexibility, and significant cost savings. […]
