The use of covering models in military operations is a key issue which can significantly affect decision making in several military scenarios concerning the formulation of the best military structure. In this paper we concentrate on the well known Maximal Coverage Location Problem in combination with the Back Up Coverage Location Problem and demonstrate that using the above covering models in order to formulate the best military structure can lead to excellent covering results. We propose the above models based on the notion of coverage and exploit the capabilities of Geographic Information Systems in order to better formulate, solve and visualize the problem of the best military coverage structure. Results of an empirical study indicate that the proposed models can provide optimal coverage structure and thus must be used extensively in military operations.
