Rapid Acquisition Initiatives
• In response to Army’s #1 priority GWOT-ATEC stood up process to quickly assess materiel being sent into Afghanistan & Iraq
• DTC Prepares Safety Release
• In parallel, AEC gathers all available data & compiles C&L Report (CLR)
• Capabilities & Limitation Reports (CLR) have 2 audiences– Users-”Consumer Reports” of the Army, how to use, what it really does, including
support & training issues
– Acquisition community-recommended additional testing, development improvements, support improvements (TTPs, training, ILS, etc) necessary

RAPID EQUIPPING• Existing Capabilities• Focused Area(s) of Operation• Recognized/Unrecognized
Limitations• Limited Production and Material
Release for One Year
TRADITIONAL ACQUISITION• Full Capabilities• All Anticipated Areas of Operation• Minimize Limitations• Full Rate Production and Material Release
PAST • Strong methodical testing• Requires Time/Money
CURRENT • Two pronged
• Continue traditional testing• Added rapid testing (C&L)
FUTUREA different degree of “normalcy”
