Abstract: Tactical analysis represents a bridge between strategic modeling and operations modeling. Whereas strategic models represent space with large tracks and production areas, operational models represent a space as a set of stands, riparian zones, feasible positions for road segments, and the terrain surface so that logging activities can be laid out. Strategic models allow a broad-scale analysis over a long horizon to optimize forest-level outputs and costs. Operational- level models make location-specific decisions over a much smaller time frame. The task of a tactical-level model is to bridge the disconnect that exists between the strategic domain and the operational domain.
