The '''Joint Interoperability Test Command''' ('''JITC''') is theDoD's [[United States]] Department of Defense (DoD)Joint Interoperability Certifier and only non-serviceService operationalOperational testTest centerAgency for Information Technology (IT) and /National Security Systems (NSS). JITC isprovides therisk organizationbased thatTest testsEvaluation technology& that pertains to multiple branches of the armedCertification services and government. JITC has facilities in [[Fort Huachuca]], [[Arizona]]tools, [[Fort Meade]], [[Maryland]] and in [[Indian Head, Maryland|Indian Head]], [[Maryland]]. JITC's vision isenvironments to beensure anJoint importantWarfighting test and evaluation organization that advances global net-centric testing in support of warfightingIT capabilities. JITC'sare mission is to provide a full range of rapid, standardizedinteroperable and customized test, evaluation, and certification services to support global net-centric warfighting capabilities under all conditions of peace andmission warneeds.

== Various JITC's Unique CertificationsRoles ==

•Joint Interoperability Certifier – Test and Evaluation of the interoperability of IT and NSS is essential to reduce the risks faced by warfighters in the field. JITC is constantly reviewing processes to ensure it is performing tests as efficiently as possible into today’s austere environment. JITC’s ability to provide outstanding support to DISA and the Warfighter is characterized by several unique features. Although each Service has its own test organizations, JITC has sole responsibility for certifying joint and combined interoperability of all DoD IT and NSS.

There are many testing, certification and accreditation programs at the JITC:

•Operational Test Agency (OTA) – JITC is established as the OTA for DISA-managed programs. It also serves as the OTA for other DoD agencies such as Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Defense Commissary Agency, and the National Security Agency (NSA).

•Unparalleled Warfighter Support – JITC is very responsive to the Warfighter! JITC testers work with the warfighting Combatant Commanders during exercises and contingency operations, providing them on-the-spot evaluations of problem areas and viable mission-oriented solutions.

•Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) - JITC is the only non-service MRTFB, servicing the DoD Chief Information Officer (DoD CIO). As such, JITC is considered a national asset. Services that are provided include Test and Evaluation (T&E) Capabilities, Infrastructure, and Resources to support the DoD acquisition system.
