TL;DR: Information in the organization and use of the computer programs which implement the Initial NATO Reference Mobility Model (INRMM) are presented and some aid to the interpretation of various output variables is given.
Abstract: : Instructions in the organization and use of the computer programs which implement the Initial NATO Reference Mobility Model (INRMM) are presented. A brief description of the mathematical equations and computing algorithms which predict the speed of a vehicle over a variety of terrain, the input data required, and the outputs generated is included. Some aid to the interpretation of various output variables is given.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that certain transrtion matrix eigenvectors provide surprisingly accurate proxies for occupational status and suggest why the pattern might in theory be expected in the occupational mobility context and in other mobility contexts.
Abstract: In Markov chain studies of occupational mobility, an interesting empirical pattern has been reported. Certain transrtion matrix eigenvectors provide surprisingly accurate proxies for occupational status. Through a number of formal illustra tions, this paper suggests why the pattern might in theory be expected, in the occupational mobility context and in other mobility contexts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the mobility performance of 15 truck/trailer candidates in the HIMO West Germany study area and compared their mobility rating speeds for the three surface conditions at each tactical mobility level.
Abstract: : This study evaluates the mobility performance of 15 truck/trailer candidates in the HIMO West Germany study area. The Army Mobility Model (AMM) was used to obtain on- and off-road mobility predictions in terms of speed profiles for each study vehicle for three surface conditions (dry, wet, and snow). The SWIMCRIT/WACROSS water-crossing model was used to obtain vehicle performance crossing linear features (water crossing). The HIMO methodology was used to establish mobility rating speed for the five tactical mobility levels (on-road, tactical support, tactical standard, tactical high, and high-high) in the HIMO West Germany study area. The study vehicles were then compared based on their mobility rating speeds for the three surface conditions at each tactical mobility level. The study vehicles were also compared based on their percent NOGO on trails and off-road. (Author)
