There is little evidence of duplication among training programs or courses.

• The Services identified a final list of 13 program initiatives and Joint Asymmetric Threat Awareness Center courses as potentially duplicative, out of a total of 248 programs reviewed.
• U.S. Special Operations Command and the Navy found no duplication, while the Army found four duplicative programs, the Air Force found two, and the Marine Corps found seven.
• RAND researchers then considered these potentially duplicative programs and concluded that while the programs did appear similar, they actually were not duplicative. This is because these programs are aimed at different training audiences and/or have different objectives.

Neither the Services nor the RAND team found evidence that training functions were duplicative.

While many Service organizations are developing and fielding Counter-IED training capabilities using functions and processes similar to JIEDDO, the processes in place provide effective coordination and integration and mitigate the risk of inefficiency.

• JIEDDO's organizational capability and its processes are successful in minimizing the chances of program duplication and to ensure added value.
• JIEDDO performs a number of broad functions that are related to capability development. To a degree, these are similar to processes performed by the Services. Like the Services, JIEDDO assesses, plans, develops requirements, submits proposals to budget processes, and develops and fields training solutions.

JIEDDO lacks a rigorous end-end assessment process for fielded capability and while assessments were performed, they could be improved by a more formal process.
