Overview: This paper studies a logistics problem arising in military transport planning. A military organization operates a large fleet of vehicles in a depot to serve the requests of various operational units. Each request has a fixed start and end time, and is served by a prescribed number of vehicles. The paper addresses the following two problems: how many vehicles are at least needed to meet a given service level of requests; and suppose one allows each request to shift its start time by a constant duration, can all the requests be met? A Niche genetic algorithm, together with a hybridized variant, is applied to the problem.
