Welcome to the Center for Operational Analysis where our vision is simple and straight forward - to ensure our faculty and students are delivering operations relevant research impacting the Department of Defense.  We are dedicated to achieving this vision through outreach and collaboration with operational sponsors.  We encourage your ideas and topics as possible research areas within our capability thrust identified on this website. Please e-mail me with questions, thoughts, and comments. Additionally, we are focused on supporting our defense partners through direct consultation from faculty in areas of logistics and supply chain management and operational analysis.

I encourage you to review our website and look at our current news and research to review the types of issues we are involved with and supporting.  We are also pleased to have a number of current students and faculty traveling around the Air Force to assist organizations in solving problems and making an impact where ever they go.  We believe AFIT and the Center for Operational Analysis is well suited to bring operationally relevant research to the DoD in the current environment of continued combat operations and challenging budgets.  If you would like additional information on our current research, collaborations, and/or outreach activities - again - please contact me directly and I look forward to your e-mails and phone calls.

Thank you,
Lt Col Stephen Chambal, Ph.D.
Director, Center for Operational Analysis
