       training programs -- Assessment of duplication in training
       functions -- Findings and concluding thoughts. 
520    The Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization 
       (JIEDDO) carries out training activities both as part of 
       its equipment and system development responsibilities and 
       its more general responsibility to "train the force" in 
       IED threats and countermeasures. It has unique authorities
       and capabilities intended to facilitate rapid fielding, 
       but concern has developed that these programs and 
       functions may be duplicative with the efforts of the 
       military Services, U.S. Special Operations Command, and 
       other agencies. The RAND team's assessment is that while 
       some programs and functions are similar to other 
       activities and initiatives, there is little evidence of 
       duplication -- in fact, the programs and functions appear 
       to add value. This finding reflects a conscious effort by 
       JIEDDO to develop processes that ensure review and 
       oversight of capability development. This may be an 
       important lesson learned if the Department of Defense 
       again confronts an asymmetric challenge and requires an 
       organizational structure to meet it.
