USACO JE Charter
What is an Experiment? An Operation Carried Out Under Controlled Conditions in Order to: a. Discover an Unknown Effect or Law, b. Test or Establish a Hypothesis, or c. Illustrate a Known Law. Webster s New Collegiate Dictionary In ilitary Terminology: a. Wargaming the Future to Avoid Surprises and Discover New Opportunities b. Determining the Validity of New Ideas c. Challenge/Review Accepted Doctrine/Organizations
Joint Experimentation Partnership? ì USACO s Primary and Enduring Reasons for Joint Experimentation: À aintain Superiority w Explore Innovative Approaches and Leap- Ahead Capabilities w Exploit Opportunities for Transformation À Prevent Adversarial Surprises ì DARPA s Primary Responsibilities: À Help maintain US technological superiority À Guard against unforeseen technological advances by potential adversaries
Joint Experimentation Joint Experimentation is an iterative process of collecting, developing and exploring concepts to identify and recommend better value-added solutions for changes to Doctrine, Organization Design, Training, ateriel, Leader Development, Personnel Resources required to achieve significant advances in future joint operational capabilities. aneuver Strike Logistics Protection o Technol gical I Innovation a Superio nform t ion rit y Dominant aneuver Precision Engagement Focused Logistics Full-Dimensional Protection Decisive Operations Full Spectrum Dominance
