, a key element of the ARL organization that manages and supports basic research; however, all ARLTAB panels receive reports of how the research and development activities of ARO and ARL are coordinated.

The assessment panels and ARLTAB engaged in many constructive interactions with ARL staff during their annual site visits in 2013 and 2014. In addition, useful collegial exchanges took place between panel members and individual ARL investigators outside of scheduled meetings as ARL staff members sought additional clarification about panel comments or questions and drew on panel members' contacts and sources of information.

The ARLTAB's goal was to identify and report salient examples of accomplishments and opportunities for further improvement with respect to the technical merit of the ARL work and specific elements of ARL's resource infrastructure that are intended to support the technical work. Collectively, these highlighted examples for each ARL core technical competency area are intended to portray an overall impression of the laboratory while preserving useful mention of suggestions specific to projects and programs that the ARLTAB considered to be of special note within the set of those examined.
