4.3 The Model<br />

Figure 11. First Affinity Diagram Exercise – Part 2.<br />

The high level objectives were defined according to the ideas identified in the<br />

affinity diagrams and were meant to specify the overarching objective of the model.<br />

Therefore, the overall utility function was defined as having four major components, each<br />

one of them concerning one important area thought to contribute to the BAF‘s<br />

operational capability.<br />

Force Support<br />

Perform CSAR (R)<br />

Perform basic<br />

training (D)<br />

Perform flight<br />

inspection (D)<br />

Rescue (D, N)<br />

Search (D, N)<br />

Rec. personnel (D)<br />

These four high level objectives were identified as:<br />

1. Maximize the contribution to the Force Application capability.<br />

2. Maximize the contribution to the Force Awareness capability.<br />

3. Maximize the contribution to the Force Mobility capability.<br />

4. Maximize the contribution to the Force Support capability.<br />
