Anecdotal stories of aerial resupply in combat abound, and the capability is essential in austere environments that have widely dispersed elements in the 30- to 60-kilometer range.

Deploying to Iraq to form a team out of these dispersed elements that had never trained together presented several challenges.

Establishing modular human resources operations in Iraq: in order to deploy to Iraq as a fully modular unit, the 3d Sustainment Brigade had to transform its human resources operations to make them modular as well. This represented a significant change in its human resources operational structure and procedures

The expression (2) shows that the derivative of the conditioned average of f, left hand side (LHS), is split in two parts, right hand side (RHS): the first one is the conditioned average of the derivative of f, and the second, named interaction term, includes the contribution of the interfaces of dispersed elements and is related to the derivatives of the indicator function.

In the case in which the dispersed elements are small enough, the interaction term (10) can be further simplified providing an equivalent expression with a clear interpretation and analitically fruitful for Two-Phase Flow modelling.

It is known that an approximation of the velocity around a point in the dispersed element [[sigma].
