Moreover, was accomplished a comparative analysis to compare military field camps plans before and after installation. In addition, an operational process analysis approach was used, which depicts the installation of a military field camp from planning to unit deployment. There was used the Bizagi Modeler v3.7 software to construct the intelligent process automation diagram which showed the military camp installation improvement solutions [18]. Moreover, the in-deep cause analysis method was used, which helped to identify the main problems of the military field camp installation.
