Sec. 73.6  Procedures.

    (a) OSD oversight for training devices that support a major system 
or constitute major systems in themselves, shall be accomplished during 
the system acquisition review process. Military Service-approved DPs, 
which will evolve as data from detailed training analyses become 
available, shall be forwarded to OSD not later than the Program 
Objectives Memorandum (POM) submission in which budget year funds are 
requested for manufacture of the initial or prototype device(s), but in 
no case before the milestone listed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this 
section. Service charges to the DP shall be submitted to OSD as changes 
occur.
    (1) DPs for training devices integral to a major system acquisition 
shall be submitted to support the Decision Coordinating Paper/Integrated 
Program summary of the parent defense system by Milestone II.
    (2) For training devices designated major systems acquisitions, DPs 
shall be submitted with, or incorporated into, the System Concept Paper 
prepared for Milestone I.

year funds are requested for manufacture of the prototype or the first 
device.
    (b) Training Effectiveness Evaluation Plan (TEEP). (1) The Training 
Effectiveness Evaluation Plan shall be developed as applicable with 
regard to DoD Directive 5000.3 to ensure that acquired training devices 
meet the Military Service's training requirements and effectiveness 
levels. The TEEP shall describe the Service's plan to accomplish 
training effectiveness evaluations, to the extent the Services deem 
appropriate, for training devices associated with each major defense 
system acquisition, training devices constituting major systems in 
themselves or non-system training devices that meet the threshold 
described in Sec. 73.2 of this section.
    (2) The TEEP should document the planned evaluation of the training 
functions, performance levels, and proficiency requirements incorporated 
in the specifications. The TEEP should be approved by the sponsoring 
Service at least 6 months before the planned commencement of training 
effectiveness evaluation.
    (3) For training devices not meeting thresholds described in 
Sec. 73.2 of this part, the Military Servcies are encouraged to prepare, 
approve, and support a TEEP at least 6 months before the planned 
commencement of training effectiveness evaluation.
