Executive Summary
Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration’s (CWID) Assessments Working Group (AWG), Information Assurance (IA) Team performed a high-level assessment Trial 3.14, Coalition Secure Management and Operations System (COSMOS). This trial implemented mechanisms to provide assurance that the information processed by the vendor’s product was secure. These mechanisms appeared to be appropriate given the level-of-data and operating environment of the trial.

Compare the above 3.14 trial summary heading with the 6.42 summary below.

Executive Summary
Coalition Warrior Interoperability Demonstration’s (CWID) Assessments Working Group (AWG), Information Assurance (IA) Team performed a high-level assessment Trial 6.42, HotZone 4010/4020 (HZ4010). This trial implemented mechanisms to provide assurance that the information processed by the vendor’s product was secure. These mechanisms appeared to be appropriate given the level-of-data and operating environment of the trial.

Except for the #, they are identical .

rwehapi2003, the Executive Summary as it appears above is a repeated statement at the top of all of the final conclusions. It is a generalized precursor heading and refers to what procedures follow in any given trial. It is not specific to the hotzone trial, or any trial, as you seem to be thinking. It is placed, wording identical, with the exception of the trial #, in any summarized trial.

The hotzone trial was the only trial that did not have the Information Assurance Assessment, because the trial was "moved" for some inexplicable reason.

Every other trial, that reported an Executive Summary, had been put through the required Information Assurance Assessment (IA), and had one IA conclusion,
either-
a “Basic IA Assessment” methodology,
or a “Targeted IA Assessment” methodology.

The hotzone trial was not concluded. It is incomplete.
But you knew that.

Read it.
