摘要：随着人们对改变美国国防能力的兴趣与日俱增，各种实验开始在国防部(DoD)范围内扩散。国防部转型的动机是认识到21世纪的国家安全环境将发生重大变化，国家呼吁国防部承担的角色和使命将需要新的能力和能力，信息时代的概念和技术提供了无与伦比的机会来开发和采用有望显著增强竞争优势的新运营概念，国防部的业务流程将需要调整，以提供必要的灵活性和速度，以跟上国家安全和信息相关技术的快速变化。人们越来越担心，国防部正在进行的许多被贴上标签的实验活动已经没有本来应该有的价值了。它们对国防部战略和决策、对制定任务能力包(MCP)以及对整个知识体系的贡献受到构思和实施方式的限制。鉴于联合试验和军种试验都需要在国防部的转型中发挥突出作用，似乎有理由问它是否可以做得更好。《最佳实践守则》(COBP)旨在做到以下几点：(1)提高对国防部需要用来为转型提供信息的不同类型实验活动的认识和理解；(2)阐明一套设计和进行实验的有用的组织原则；(3)向实验生产者和实验结果的消费者提供“最佳实践”和经验教训；(4)为未来的实验者提供坚实的基础；以及(5)在国防部的实验过程中促进一定程度的科学严谨性和专业性。
Abstract : Experiments of various kinds have begun to proliferate throughout the Department of Defense (DoD) as interest in transforming the defense capabilities of the United States has grown. DoD transformation is motivated by a recognition that the national security environment of the 21st century will be significantly different, and the roles and missions the nation will call upon the DoD to undertake will require new competencies and capabilities, Information Age concepts and technologies provide unparalleled opportunities to develop and employ new operational concepts that promise to dramatically enhance competitive advantage, and the DoD's business processes will need to adapt to provide the flexibility and speed necessary to keep pace with the rapid changes in both national security and information-related technologies. There is growing concern that many of the activities labeled experiments being conducted by the DoD have been less valuable than they could have been. Their contributions to DoD strategies and decisions, to the development of mission capability packages (MCPs), and to the body of knowledge in general have been limited by the manner in which they have been conceived and conducted. Given the prominent role that both joint and Service experimentation need to play in the transformation of the DoD, it seems reasonable to ask if it can do better. This Code of Best Practice (COBP) is intended to do the following: (1) increase awareness and understanding of the different types of experimentation activities that the DoD needs to employ to inform the transformation, (2) articulate a useful set of organizing principles for the design and conduct of experiments, (3) provide both producers of experiments and consumers of experimentation results with "best practice" and lessons learned, (4) provide future experimenters with a firm foundation upon which to build, and (5) promote a degree of scientific rigor and professionalism in the DoD experimentation process.
