Military logistic problem

Hi,
First of all I'm not sure if this belongs here, if not, could you
suggest a more appropriate group.
I'm having some problems researching the possibility of explicit
solutions to military logistics problems.
Although, I think the actual problem is more general. I have a
time-step simulation tool that simulates strategic-lift (aircraft,
ships, etc...) moving "stuff" from a start port to an end port.
Obviously aircraft make many flights back and forth.
While a time-step simulation suits this problem, it is quite expensive
in time.
The question I need answering is whether there exists an explicit
solution to such a problem. I'm pretty sure it's not linear, and
perhaps chaotic behaviour prevents such a solution.
By the way, when I say solution I mean things like finding:
a) How long it takes to move everything with various amounts of
start-lift, port infrastructure (#berths, #AC handlers, etc...) and so
on;
b) The optimum number of the above to produce the quickest time; etc...
I would be very grateful if you could point me in a direction to find
if such a thing is possible and if so, whether the complexity of such a
solution would make it impractical.
Many many thanks. Sorry the question is so long (and most probably
confusing!)
