Support of Operational Testing

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) provides resources to the United States (U.S.) Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) to operate the Army's Operational Test Command (OTC). OTC conducts independent operational tests that provide significant data to Army decision-makers on key Army systems and concepts. This PE finances recurring costs for OTC that are essential for conducting realistic and continuous testing in the critical areas of equipment, doctrine, force design and training. These recurring costs include civilian pay, requirements for test support contracts, temporary duty, training, supplies and equipment. It also provides funding to the U.S. Army Futures Command to operate the Army Joint Test Element (JTE). JTE examines Joint Service, Combatant Command (COCOM) and Department of Defense (DoD) agencies' mission gaps, tactics and doctrine, resulting in the development of Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP), Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and assessment documents. Products are developed through operational non-materiel solutions to urgent, specific, Joint Warfighter problems.
