The DOD is preparing a plan for its laboratories and test and evaluation (T&E) centers for the 21st century. This plan, entitled Vision 21,
will serve as a blueprint by outlining an ongoing process that will enable DOD laboratories and T&E centers to meet the needs of the warfighter,
both now and in the future, despite a changing threat environment and reduced budgets. Vision 21 will rest on three integrating pillars: Reduction, Restructuring
(including intra-Service and cross-Service), and Revitalization to fully modernize facilities and capacities.
