11. Where Command Center and Modules would be used

12. Conclusion: In conclusion the history and data research of implementing the Resource Allocation module of the Command Center into the DMCS would provide a major benefit to the current system that currently is non existent. This is only the first step towards future design, modules and enhancements of the DMCS.
