Testing in a Joint Environment Roadmap
systems that must interface with the system under test, or components of the test infrastructure
itself, should be included in the sections of policy documents that apply to budget formulation
and execution.
The DoD Financial Management Regulations comprise a multi-volume publication of
policies applicable to appropriated fund activities, revolving fund activities, multiple types of
appropriations, and a variety of reimbursable arrangements that depend on the type of customer
and the provider of services as well as the type of service or support being rendered. The
identification of appropriate changes to that publication is best accomplished through the efforts
of knowledgeable subject matter experts during the implementation phase of the roadmap.
C.3.4 Synthesis of Training and Testing
DoDD 1322.18, CJCSI 3500.01B, and 3500.02C, regarding joint training, are subject to
modification to facilitate, or encourage, the conduct of testing in a joint environment during joint
training exercises, and provide for coordination of joint training exercises with testing needs.
CJCSI 3500.01B. The following are examples of possible changes to CJCSI 3500.01B,
“Joint Training Policy for the Armed Forces of the United States,” dated 31 December 1999.
Enclosure A, Introduction., Consider modifying paragraph 5 as follows: 5. Other Joint
Activities Affecting Joint Training. Other joint activities or events that impact on the planning
and conduct of joint training include All Service Combat Identification Evaluation Team
(ASCIET) events, Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstrations (JWID), Advanced Concept
Technology Demonstrations (ACTD), and Joint Warfighting Experiments (JWE), and testing in
a joint environment. Occasionally, to take advantage of joint force expertise and minimize
impact on unit training schedules, some joint experimentation objectives, or testing of systems in
a joint environment, will be added as an adjunct to joint training exercises. Training events
provide venues to demonstrate emerging capabilities of systems under development and
influence system requirements at an early stage in the acquisition cycle.
Enclosure B, Joint Training Policy., Suggest modifying paragraphs 1.a., 3.a, 3.d.(2) and 6.a.
as follows:
1.a. Use Joint Doctrine.. Joint training will be accomplished in accordance with approved
joint doctrine. … When it is necessary to introduce experimentation events or testing in a joint
environment into are included in joint training exercises, combatant commanders will use care to
ensure that exercise participants understand that doctrinal deviations are for experimentation or
test and evaluation purposes, and may not change doctrine and procedures for future operations.
