Abstract: Abstract Logistics is the lifeblood of any organization and especially so for organization in the Department of Defense. Logistics has been defined by individuals such as Jomini, as “the art of moving armies,” which includes providing for their supplies and establishing lines of supplies. The objective of keeping these organizations supplied is a critical component for successful operations and is just as critical in military operations as it is in conducting business. Network models provide the foundation structure that enables the development of efficient and rapid solution techniques for various logistics-related scenarios. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the underlining characteristics of network models, establish examples of these models, and provide one approach to solving these models to gain insights into potential solutions for making decisions.
