N1 - The United States Army can benefit from effectively utilizing cargo unmanned aerial vehicles (CUAVs) to perform resupply operations in combat environments to reduce the use of manned (ground and aerial) resupply that incurs risk to personnel. We formulate a Markov decision process (MDP) model of an inventory routing problem (IRP) with vehicle loss and direct delivery, which we label the military IRP (MILIRP).
