4.2.0. Performance Effectiveness 
For a definitive assessment of MOBS versus its "NON-MOBS" alterna- 
tive, both systems should logically be compared for their relative 
achievement of System Objectives (2.2.3) in terms of required basing 
functions. This implies a set of measures of effectiveness (MOE) corre- 
sponding to the included spectrum of basing functions. Since Basing 
Systems I and II are compared for operational effectiveness under the 
specific, however limited, circumstances of a Third World crisis scenar- 
io, a single MOE is considered sufficient for the purpose of this 
investigation. Therefore, the following summary criterion is applied: 
siti(t) 
where: 
N = cumulative tonnage of logistic throughput (available for 
useful application) 
t = time (days) 
d(N)/d(t) = f'(t) 
where: f'(t) = instantaneous rate of change of N at time, t =T. 
4.2.1 Crisis Response: Basing System I (With MOBS) 
The following matrix of time (T) versus participant events is re- 
presentative of the operational sequence "with MOBS" subsequent to the 
crisis alert in the Generalized Scenario (3.1.0):
