Abstract

In the past decades, facility location problems have attracted much attention among researchers and practitioners from different disciplines. Among those problems, location models observed in military organizations have significant impact to the performance of the military organization since they require large amounts of money, resource, and people. Moreover, an efficient planning of military resources often leads to a good direction to victories. In this chapter, considering a number of selected papers, the authors give a brief survey of facility location models and solution techniques employed for military organizations. After providing the features of core location models, they analyze the military facility location models with respect to the context they are handled. After categorizing the articles with respect to the formulations and solution approaches employed, the authors highlight potential issues for further research.
