Cogbill, left, along with Maj. Joshua Glonek, right, the 3rd BCT’s operations and training officer, and Maj. Ross Pixler, the operations and training officer of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, observe and evaluate company commanders during an exercise in May. The blank-fire exercise tested the companies’ abilities to collectively maneuver on and destroy an enemy force in a simulated combat mission. To ensure overmatch in any battle, Cogbill and the entire BCT have adopted a do-it-yourself approach to making sure the unit has the capabilities it needs. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.

Soldiers assigned to 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, at Fort Riley, Kansas, move into nearby woods during a platoon combined arms live-fire exercise at Presidenski Range in Trzebian, Poland, March 26. The author, who was program manager of the search for a new camouflage pattern, explains that there are two ways to go wrong with test and evaluation: Cutting back on testing too aggressively, in pursuit of cost savings, puts the program at risk, while demanding more expensive field testing in the mistaken belief that it’s more accurate drives the budget up.
