Army/Joint Experimentation
Abstract
Army Experimentation is the conduct of experiments involving Soldiers and Leaders within live, virtual, and contructive environments of exploring concepts, capability requirements and solutions across Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leaders, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF) domains in order to learn and mitigate risk for current and future forces. Experiments inform Army future concepts and assess high-risk conceptual assumptions in order to focus required capabilities and represent the user's requirements in the future Army. TRADOC's partnership with ASA(ALT) in connecting Soldiers to the ideas and capabilities earlier rather than later, provides essential user feedback and assists the acquisition community with informing the Army's investment portfolio and decreasing the number of engineering design changes. Army experiments use the combined resources of Army battle laboratories, operational units, research labs, materiel developers, industry and academia to collaborate in the development, refinements, and assessment of future force concepts - to inform capability developments and validate concepts for current and future force. In FY11-17, Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding enables World Class Blue Force (WCBLUFOR) to provide technical and tactical expertise in Army experiment efforts, in collaboration and integration with Joint, Interagency, Intergovermental, and Multinational partners. In the near-term, Army experimentation will focus on Prevent, Prevail, Prepare, and Preserve as foundational elements for this campaign, assessed across all joint campaign phases, with Army level issues across the breadth of a champaign that highlights the core competencies of combined arms maneuver and wide area security.
