Program Description:

We do not often discuss the connection between the test and evaluation (T&E) and training communities. These are often looked at as two separate domains within the greater scheme of readiness. Over the last couple of years, there has been more discussion and acceptance that many T&E events, especially large-scale, operational test events, are also training events. These large test events such as the ones performed in the Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) region allow operators to test AND train like they fight. An example of the services bringing these two domains together is the Army Transformation Intiative (ATI. Where ATI is presenting unique requirements brining training and testing together to provide data to enable fast-paced assessments. Drawing on their experiences and the emerging service requirements, this panel of experts will discuss how these once very separate and specific domains are converging allowing for hands-on, operational test and training, the role these services and locations play, and the capabilities that enable it. They will discuss how industry partnerships are key to continuing to advance the envelop and possibilities within these large-scale test and training exercises.
