Assignment problems are a common area of research in operational research and computer science. Military applications include military personnel assignment, combat radio frequency assignment, and weapon target assignment. In general, assignment problems can be found in a wide array of areas, from modular placement to resource scheduling. Many of these problems are very similar to one another. This paper models and compares some of the assignment problems in literature. These similar problems are then generalized into a generalized multi-objective problem, the
constrained assignment problem. Using a multi-objective genetic algorithm, we solve an example of a constrained assignment problem called the airman assignment problem. Results show that good solutions along the interior portion of the Pareto front are found
in earlier generations and later generations produce more exterior
points.
