Testing in a Joint Environment Roadmap
Appendix D – Implementation Planning
D.1 Introduction
An implementation plan shall be developed upon approval of the testing in a joint
environment roadmap. The implementation plan will articulate the required organization;
policies, processes, and procedures; and resources at the necessary level of detail to establish the
T&E capabilities described in the roadmap. It will also describe the tasks required to achieve
this capability with a detailed implementation schedule. This plan will establish an interim
organizational oversight and working level structure, and ensure continuity and transition until
permanent leadership and organization have been established.
D.2 Framework for Implementation
DOT&E is designated the lead for fully developing the capability for testing in a joint
environment and shall, in full partnership with the offices of USD(AT&L), USD(P&R), and
ASD(NII), the Joint Staff, the Services, JFCOM, and others as required, lead the development of
the implementation plan, coordinating with PPBE principals and others as required. DOT&E
shall establish an implementation planning team within 60 days of approval of this roadmap, and
the initial implementation plan will be completed, coordinated, and approved by DOT&E on or
about June 30, 2005. Identification of a long-term sponsor and steps for transition to this sponsor
will be addressed during implementation planning.
The implementation plan will describe the “who, what, when, where, how, and why” of the
development and operation of the capability needed to enable testing in a joint environment in
the necessary level of detail. At a minimum, the implementation plan will address:
Organization, including OSD sponsorship, Service/Agency responsibilities, ownership of
technical infrastructure, and organizational concepts and interrelationships.
Funding for development, modernization, and sustainment. Definition of PPBE
responsibilities for OSD, Services, and Agencies. Develop initial FY2005 budget changes,
issues, BCP, PCPs, etc. Develop PPBE documentation required for FY2006. Establish an
operating budget beginning in FY2005 for implementation planning.
Policy, directives, regulations including the identification and drafting of specific changes
required in DoD publications/issuances concerning acquisition, joint capabilities, budget and
financial management, organization, and training. Draft a specific directive governing the
development, operation, funding, and mandated use of the infrastructure to provide the capability
to support testing in a joint environment.
