(7) Logistician (DCS, G–4 or designated representative). (8) Training developer/trainer. (9) For Army-level approvals, the following HQDA offices are included: Army T&E Executive, ASA(ALT), the DCS, G–1, DCS, G–2, DCS, G–3, DCS, G–6, and DCS, G–8. Failure to participate in the T&E WIPT process (or declare intent not to participate in the T&E WIPT) forfeits organizational inclusion in the coordination of the TEMP prior to HQDA approval.
(10) For OSD level approvals, representatives from DOT&E and the cognizant DT&E element. (11) Any command or agency that has a role critical to the success of the program (such as, agencies that provide analysis, survivability, lethality, interoperability, NBC survivability, safety, health hazard, MANPRINT, transpor- tability, IT, or other considerations). b. At the conclusion of the initial T&E WIPT meeting, those organizations that are critical to the T&E WIPT body will be identified. A T&E WIPT charter must be developed that identifies representatives from these organizations as principal T&E WIPT members.
Members of the T&E WIPT must be empowered by their respective organizations to provide command positions. c. The T&E WIPT will establish, as necessary, a RAM subgroup, a threat subgroup, and a supportability T&E subgroup. These subgroups coordinate and jointly develop T&E strategies and identify corrective actions. Other subgroups may be chartered as appropriate. Chapter 9 Test Schedule and Review Committee 9–1. Essential role The purpose of the TSARC is to ensure that all tests are scheduled with the appropriate Army priority and executed in the most efficient and effective manner possible with respect to resources.
The TSARC provides Army level central- ized management of resources (including flying hours and ammunition) required for DT outside of the USADTC, and resources (including flying hours and ammunition) for OT, JT, and FDT/E. This chapter— a. Provides guidance and establishes procedures governing the TSARC, a continuing Intradepartmental Army Committee. b. Sets forth the mission, functions, composition, responsibilities, and concept of operation of the TSARC. 9–2. Mission The mission of the TSARC is to provide high-level centralized management of Army resources to maximize the use of limited resources and to minimize the impact on unit operational readiness. The TSARC will— a.
Review and recommend coordinated OTPs for inclusion in the Five Year Test Program (FYTP). OTPs requiring a resource commitment (personnel, instrumentation, and equipment) from outside the tester’s command or agency within 1 year of TSARC submission, will be processed as an out of cycle OTP. (See para 9–5 d. ) b. Review and coordinate resources for support of AWE, JT, OT, FDT/E, and DTs that require operational assets. c. Resolve conflicts between test support requirements and other missions. Resolve testing schedules to minimize the impact of test support on units providing Active Component, Reserve Component, and National Guard support. d.
Submit a recommended FYTP and associated test priorities to HQDA DCS, G–3 for approval. The FYTP is a compendium of TSARC reviewed and HQDA approved OTPs. The FYTP identifies validated requirements to support the Army’s Test and Evaluation programs. It is developed within existing budget and program constraints in accord- ance with Army priorities. It is a HQDA tasking document for the current and budget years and provides test planning guidelines for the out-years. 9–3. Test Schedule and Review Committee composition a. The CG, USATEC, chairs the GO TSARC and provides a chairperson for the Initial Working Group (IWG) and Mid-cycle Working Group (MWG) meetings. b.
