    Let's start the hype!

    The U.S. Army Operational Test Command's Airborne & Special Operations Test Directorate at Fort Bragg, North Carolina produced an inspirational video for the 120th Army — Navy football game Saturday, Dec. 14, 2019.

    The Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate (ABNSOTD) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina — whose lineage traces directly back to the original Parachute Test Platoon of 1940 — is home to the U.S. Army's only operational test paratroopers, who conduct operational testing for joint airborne contingency and Special Operations Forces in support of the acquisition decision-making process. To provide airdrop certification of all airborne and airdropped equipment, ABNSOTD plans, executes and reports on its operational tests and field experiments, which impacts doctrine, training, organization and materiel.

    As the Army's only independent operational tester, the U.S. Army Operational Test Command at Fort Hood, Texas is celebrating "50 Years of Operational Testing," which began Oct. 1, 1969. The unit enlists the "Total Army" (Active, National Guard, and Reserve) when testing Army, joint, and multi-service warfighting systems in realistic operational environments, using typical Soldiers to determine whether the systems are effective, suitable, and survivable. OTC is required by public law to test major systems before they are fielded to its ultimate customer -- the American Soldier.
