A U.S. Department of Defense workforce, with minimum telework experience, was directed to fully transition to distributed, maximum telework operations because of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. This study shows the effects of maximum telework on an organization in the areas of personnel productivity and project success.

A Simulation-based Optimization Approach to Logistic and Supply Chain Network Design
Logistics and supply chains account for a large part of the total life-cycle cost of many defense acquisition programs, yet DoD supply chains have been a noted weakness since at least 1990. While much of the academic literature makes simplifying assumptions that are not appropriate for the military application, this research proposes a practical approach to optimizing supply chains, including uncertainty, faced by the military logistician.

Quantifying the Effects of Aircraft Engine Upgrades on Operating and Support Costs
In this exploratory study, the authors investigate how new engines for fixed wing Air Force aircraft empirically affect operating and support costs. Results suggest that improved fuel efficiency offsets a potential increase in maintenance costs, resulting in a net savings.
