Joint Test and EvaluationThe Joint Test and Evaluation (JT&E) Program

We bring two or more military services or other components together to:

  • Assess Service system operability
  • Evaluate joint concepts and recommend improvements
  • Validate testing methodologies
  • Improve joint tactics, techniques and procedures

Joint Test and Evaluation
The DoD's JT&E Program originated in response to the 1970 Blue Ribbon Defense Panel Report, which concluded that:

"There has been, and is currently, no effective means for conducting productive joint operations tests and evaluations. The fact that some such efforts heretofore have encountered difficulties and achieved few useful results does not obviate the requirements for much needed joint operational test and evaluation (OT&E)."
