Who We Are
The U.S. Army Operational Evaluation Command (OEC) Staff G2 is the operations focused threat intelligence team stationed at Fort Hood, Texas, and Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Our team is a blend of military personnel and government civilian employees, all contributing to threat informed risk reduction, iterative capability development, and traceable “good enough” decisions. Comprised of Operations Research/Systems Analysis (ORSA) experts, intelligence officers, Defense Intelligence Civilian Personnel (DCIP), and DAC Program Analysts, the team ensures timely, accurate, relevant, predictive, and tailored intelligence research, plans, and operations support. We enable threat informed activities across Army learning events – wargames and tabletops, experiments, developmental tests, integrated developmental/operational tests, operational tests, and follow-on evaluations.
What We Do
The OEC’s Operational Evaluation Command’s G2 Staff is the Army’s premier threat mission team. Our mission accelerates Army transformation, supports warfighting readiness, and enables customer learning to ensure credible, threat-derived, data informs iterative capability design and development efforts and timely “good enough” risk decisions. Our products inform decision makers, advise risk decisions, enable holistic threat planning, coordinate critical EW and Cyber threat resources, execute threat tests, and support credible data collection.
We enable the collection of credible threat-informed data across continuous evaluation campaign events by:
- Providing tailored, Intelligence Community (IC) – derived, threat research & analysis that informs campaign scoping, resourcing, and planning
- Fusing threat-driven scenarios into detailed design plans that support learning demands
- Coordinating integration of high-fidelity threats into realistic, accredited, operational contexts that are traceable to customer-driven Key Operational Problems (KOPs), mission-focused Concept of Operations (CONOPs), and system-warfighting Concept of Employments (CONEMPs)
Why Do We Do It
The first principle driving continuous transformation is threat. Warfighting overmatch, readiness, and resilience involves making threat-informed risk decisions. Additionally, United States Code, Title 10, requires that operational realism informs decisions.
How Do We Do It
We engage and partner with ATEC Capability Portfolio Executive (CPE) coordinators early to ensure threat informed learning is integrated across Army continuous evaluation campaigns. Within two business days of our customers requesting support, we respond and begin coordinating with threat community partners, conducting threat research, and tailoring threat to mission requirements.
We serve as the ATEC CPE threat representatives when threat representations feed data collection. We advise (or attend) during threat planning meetings, within event design working groups, and during data collection events. Our function is to inform on threat learning, coordinate with HQDA G2, collaborate with the program threat managers, U. S. Army Transformation and Training Command (T2COM) threat advocates, intelligence community subject matter experts, and validated Threat Representation providers (Threat Systems Management Office, Center for Countermeasures, and National Ground Intelligence Center Modeling and Simulations).
Our threat experts support planning cells for experiments and demonstrations and advise test and evaluation working-level integrated product team (T&E WIPT) subgroups to ensure tailored, holistic threat learning requirements are identified, scoped, and resourced so early “good enough” risk decisions are traceable to capability requirements and validated IC contexts.
- Threat Steering Groups (TSGs) establish threat baselines and ensure a thorough and holistic consideration of IC validated threats against mission requirements and tasks in the program Validated On-Line Threat (VOLT)
- Threat Coordination Groups (TCGs) review threat baselines, operational requirements, and system, subsystem, and doctrinal vulnerabilities to prioritize threats and scope learning demands across continuous evaluation campaigns
- Cyber Working Groups coordinate on Cyber Tabletops, review U. S. Army’s Transformation Decision Analysis Center (TDAC) generated Cooperative Penetration and Vulnerability Assessments (CVPAs), establish relevant Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) threat contexts with capability developers and IC representatives, and scope TSMO developed adversarial assessments to meet learning requirements and harden cyber systems
- Threat Subgroups coordinate on MDO Tabletops, review TDAC generated Survivability, Lethality, and Vulnerability assessments, establish electromagnetic warfare, information warfare, kinetic, and cyberwarfare threat learning contexts, and scope event design plans and detailed test plans to meet learning requirements informing experiments, testing, and demonstration events shaping iterative learning and informing “good enough” risk decisions
- Threat Accreditation Working Groups review plans, learning requirements, intelligence assessments, and threat representation documentation to determine threat data credibility. The Threat Fidelity and Realism Assessments collaboratively capture operational realism and enables traceable decision making
