Motivation

Goal is to optimize training schedule with constrained resources that minimizes total time to complete training for two Platoons

Page 3: Resource Constrained Training

Background

• EOD Training Unit Two, Fort Story, VA• Train EOD Platoons prior to deployment• Ideal plan is to train two Platoons at the same

time

Page 4: Resource Constrained Training

Ultimately we want to find out..

• How many attacks on the resources can we tolerate?

• Which resources are targeted the most?• What can we do about it?

Initially.. Shortest Path Formulation

• Nodes – Tasks completed, indexed on time

Results

• 60 days to complete. • Assuming no precedence, resource and

contiguity constraints – 50 days to complete.

Let’s attack the model..

• What constitutes an attack:– Terrorist actions– Natural calamities–Murphy

Side note

• Cannot use “dual trick”• Benders does not work well with pure ILPs– Upper & lower bounds may not converge

Page 14: Resource Constrained Training

14

Why doesn’t Benders work well for ILPs?

Side note

• Cannot use “dual trick”• Benders does not work well with pure ILPs– Upper & lower bounds may not converge

• But, if a valid Benders cut is generated at every iteration, then the algorithm converges to optimality.

Page 17: Resource Constrained Training

New Plan• Solve relaxed interdiction problem using Benders• Hard code interdiction results into ILP

subproblem

Limitations• Attacker placed at a disadvantage

– Optimal attack in the relaxed version is suboptimal to the original problem

– In relaxed version, attacker considers options which do not actually exist to the operator in the original problem

Attacking early would pose less of a problem to the operator.Could easily schedule tasks that do not require that resource to “fill the gap”.

This is where the bottle neck starts.

* 0 tolerance was used throughout for both B&B and Benders

Randomly Generated Attacks

• Done for 1 attack scenario:– 100 random attacks generated–Worst case – 65 days– Benders on ILP still provides more realistic

outputs• Attacking all resources on the same day would

be suboptimal to attacker.

What can we do about it?

• Relieve bottleneck– Adjust FTX lesson plan

• Create redundancy–More EOD Trainers–More demo ranges– Leverage on simulation instead of L/F ranges

• Improve security of resources– Housing Rhino’s close to base security

We want to find out..

• How many attacks can we tolerate?• Which resources are targeted the most?• What can we do about it?

Future Research

• Expand the model to include all EOD training pipelines.

• Applying model to other types of training programs subject to similar constraints.

• Develop algorithm to solve max-min ILP problems exactly.
