Abstract

This article addresses the optimization of a specialized deployment kit crucial for air force operations, emphasizing the need for rapid and efficient aircraft deployment. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical data, the study aims to streamline the kit's contents without compromising effectiveness. The research suggests a potential reduction of 7.8%, with an impressive 60.5% decrease if a minimal 5% threshold is deemed acceptable. While the primary focus is on air force deployment, the broader implications extend to military entities, such as armies and navies, highlighting the applicability of the findings in enhancing deployment efficiency across various defense sectors.
