ABSTRACT
This paper will demonstrate the use of SAS® and SAS/OR® to solve a long standing Army problem of assigning
ROTC cadets to their initial basic branch (Infantry, Armor, etc). The paper starts with a problem statement, describes the problem as a network optimization and then shows model results after adding each of the constraints from the problem statement. The paper summarizes with comments about why a network optimization is a good solution for
this type of problem. Finally, the paper makes theassertion that
SAS® data manipulation and statistics procedures are an additional benefit provided by the
SAS/OR® solution not found elsewhere.
