Army/Joint Experimentation

Abstract

The United States Army Joint Modernization Command (USAJMC) is the Army and Army Futures Command lead for live field experimentation. Army and Joint Experimentation supports current and future concepts and capabilities involving Soldiers and Leaders within live, virtual, and constructive environments by exploring concepts, capability, and formation requirements, and solutions across Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF) domains. The purpose of these efforts is to learn and mitigate risk for current and future forces. Experiments and multi-scale assessments inform Army future concepts and assess high-risk conceptual assumptions in order to focus required capabilities, formations and represent user requirements in the future Army. Army experiments use the combined resources of Army Battle Laboratories, operating force units, research laboratories, materiel developers, industry, and academia to collaborate in the development, refinement, and assessment of future force concepts, capabilities and formations at echelon. These experiments are typical in the Joint Warfighting Assessment (JWA), Army Live Prototype Assessments (ALPA), and in Army's new campaign of learning based on a continuous, structured series of demonstrations and experiments called "Project Convergence" (PC) series of events. This project also supports the Army's Simulation-Based Experiments (SIMEX) to integrate and assess near, mid, and far-term future force concepts, force designs, and capabilities. In support of the Army Vision and Army Modernization Strategy, experimentation focuses on the latest Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) Concept, operational and organizational concepts for the Army to produce an MDO ready force by 2035. To refine the Multi-Domain Operations Concept, Army experimentation expands linkages to joint and multi-national experiments.
