An Airlift Hub-and Spoke Location-Routing Model with Time Windows: Case Study of the CONUS-to-Korea Airlift Problem

The book explores an innovative military airlift strategy by adapting the hub-and-spoke model from commercial aviation. It critiques the traditional direct delivery method employed by the Air Mobility Command, highlighting its limitations in cargo tracking and efficiency. The study aims to create a combined location-routing mixed integer programming prototype model, offering a more effective approach to airlift operations. Through this model, the research seeks to enhance military logistics and improve overall airlift performance.
