The Operational Test Command (OTC) is a United States Army organization responsible for executing operational tests, integrating and validating new capabilities into the force. Located at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, the OTC supports Army modernization efforts by providing independent, realistic assessment of weapons systems and equipment prior to their fielding. This command works closely with various branches within the U.S. Army, as well as other military services and allies, ensuring that tested equipment meets operational requirements and standards before being deployed to troops in combat zones or peacekeeping missions. The OTC plays a crucial role in maintaining the technological edge of the U.S. Army while upholding mission readiness and soldier safety.
