The Operational Test Command, the Army's independent operational tester, tests and assesses Army, Joint, and Multi-service war-fighting systems in a realistic operational environment using typical Soldiers to determine whether the systems are effective, suitable, and survivable. OTC remains true to its ultimate customer--the American Soldier.
OTC is the Army's only independent operational tester; it is required by public law to test major systems before they are fielded to the American Soldier.
