Department of Defense Interoperability Communications Exercise (DICE)
DICE is the only DoD exercise whose principal purpose is to generate joint interoperability certifications. Since the Joint
Interoperability Test Command (JITC) is DoD’s sole interoperability certification authority, JITC conducts DICE in support of
DoD joint interoperability testing, training, and transformation initiatives with it’s primary focus to mitigate operational risk by
thoroughly testing new communications systems and software releases in a realistic joint tactical network. Participants include
communications equipment and personnel from each of the Services, Combatant Commands, the Joint Communications Support Element (JCSE),
National Guard and the Department of Homeland Security (Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)) and all levels of state, county and
local first responders.
