C-1 GENERAL

1.0 Background. The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC)'s Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (G-2) studies, designs, coordinates, and applies the current and future Operational Environment (OE) input in support of Joint and Army programs for training and leader development, concept development, experimentation, and requirements determination. To accomplish this mission and core function, TRADOC G- 2’s Threat Emulation Force (TEFOR) imposes rigor on the portrayal of the operational environment. TEFOR serves as an honest broker for the implementation of the OE in training threat emulators and capabilities development for test and evaluation, including Network Integration Evaluation (NIE) events.

The Army will conduct NIE 17.2 to further progress towards the completion of the Mission Command Network (MCN) 2020 Focused End State (FES) Objectives. The primary efforts of NIE 17.2 are the Programs of Record (PORs) designated as Systems Under Test (SUT) for Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) network. The Tri-Band Line of Sight (TRILOS) operational test will inform senior leaders on the operational effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of the new high bandwidth and WIN-T interoperable network radio. The TRILOS establishes a terrestrial link for a more robust network which significantly increases data throughput while reducing Size, Weight, and Power (SWP) requirements. The Tactical Communications Network-Lite/Network Operations and Security Center-Lite (TCN-L/NOSC-L) Follow On Test will inform senior leaders on the operational effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of the system on a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV).

On or about 05 JUL – 09 AUG 2017, TRADOC / Joint Modernization Command (JMC), in coordination with Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), Army Evaluation Center (AEC), Operational Test Command (OTC), & Systems of Systems Engineering and Integration Directorate (SOSE&I), will conduct a Live, Virtual, Constructive Force-on- Force exercise at Fort Bliss, TX and White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), NM (and other locations as necessary) to accomplish NIE 17.2 objectives.

The NIE 17.2 Endstate objectives are:

Select potential Force Modernization concepts and capabilities assessed and demonstrated that assist in achieving integrated network capability for the Future Force.

Validate that evaluated components, integrated with network, add operational value and do not increase complexity.

Successful demonstration and assessment of concepts and capabilities that address selected FES and Army Warfighting Challenges (AWfCs).

1.1 Scope. TRADOC G-2 TEFOR requires technical and subject matter expertise (SME) support to assist in the replication of the OE threat portrayal and enable the Director, TEFOR to certify the OE replication at NIE 17.2. TRADOC (JMC/ Army Capabilities Integration Center (ARCIC) Lead) in coordination with Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) G-3/5/7, G-8, Chief Information Officers C-6, U.S. Army Forces Command, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) (ASA(ALT)), and ATEC will plan and conduct NIE 17.2 at Fort Bliss, TX, and WSMR from 05 JUL -09 Aug 2017 in order to inform key fielding decisions.
