Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate
The Airborne and Special Operations Test Directorate is an operational test agency responsible for the testing of a wide variety of new material items and techniques destined for use by airborne and special operations forces. Its diverse mission is to ensure that new or modified equipment, techniques and procedures designed for use by airborne and special operations forces, are safe, reliable, effective and suitable for use by Soldiers in all of their mission environments. This elite unit is the home of today's test paratroopers. The Directorate formally began in December 1944 at Camp Mackall, as the Airborne Board. But the directorate can trace its earliest beginnings to 1940 and the first parachute test platoon. In 1945, it was reestablished at Fort Bragg as the Airborne Service Test Section, a part of the Ground Forces Board Number One, which was to be the "high tech" board of the Army. The directorate changed names and some responsibilities throughout its existence, but airborne testing has always been its core essence.
Today, it is aligned under the Operational Test Command headquartered at Fort Hood, Texas, which is subordinate to the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command in Alexandria, Va. The primary mission of the ABNSOTD is to conduct operational tests for the Army's airborne and special operations forces to ensure that the new equipment and procedures will provide the most effective readiness and war-fighting capabilities possible. This includes testing of new and modified personnel parachutes, weapons systems, cargo delivery and resupply systems, infiltration and ex-filtration systems, and clothing and individual equipment. Procedural testing includes personnel static line and military free fall parachuting, fast rope insertion and recovery, cargo airdrop, internal air transport aboard both U.S. Air Force and Army aircraft, and external sling loading by Army helicopters.
Once validated, these procedures are documented and published in appropriate technical manuals for use by military units. The ABNSOTD has the capability to test more than aerial delivery systems and concepts. On a routine basis, the directorate conducts operational tests of infantry equipment, concepts and doctrine. The ABNSOTD is the Army Test Directorate for the joint operational testing of new Air Force equipment like the C-17 aircraft and conducts tests with equipment and/or procedures from all of the military service branches. The AB-SOTD also conducts ongoing Concept Evaluation Programs to determine the feasibility of new ideas and suggestions originating within the airborne and special operations communities.
