19. MRAP’s Impact on Combat OperationsLt. Lee J. Stuckey – MRAP Survivor What impact is the MRAP having on the following? War fighters Families Units The war in general 

20. Failure is not an option!Direct Warfighter Impact All 6 MRAP occupants survived this IED event!!

21. MRAP has Changed Expectations Senior officials across the acquisition spectrum are starting to use MRAP as a benchmark Strong interest in academic institutions to “bottle” the MRAP magic Warfighters are even less tolerant of lengthy development cycle times Army has announced acceleration of JLTV by 2 years Is that fast enough? MRAP II as bridge or replacement?

22. Teaming for Success • Over 200 DCMA employees worked on the MRAP Program at one time or another. • At least that many were involved at the customer’s organization (Joint Program Office) and many more throughout DoD. • Every one of them were crucial in making this program a success. • Structure – Communication – Catalyst - Success!
