The Logistics Composite Model (L-COM), jointly developed by the Air Force Logistics Command and the Rand Corporation, was designed to address aircraft operations, maintenance and support concepts. Also, L-COM is a validated simulation model that represents aircraft operations and the resulting demands for resources. Using maintenance as the key link between aircraft operations and communications, the authors theorized that the operations of a base communications maintenance system is similar in many ways to the operation of an aircraft maintenance system. After reviewing both maintenance operations (aircraft and communications) the authors constructed communication maintenance models within the framework of the Logistics Composite Model. The communication models that were constructed, after testing, indicated that L-COM could be modified to realistically represent an Air Force communications system.
