Yes, the Developmental Test and Evaluation agency is responsible for evaluating and assessing the operational effectiveness and suitability of a system. They may identify critical operational issues, but the responsibility for establishing them typically lies with the program office or the operational user community.
Critical Operational Issues are typically established by senior management or leadership within an organization. They are identified through a thorough analysis of operational processes, potential risks, and business objectives to ensure that resources are allocated effectively to address the most significant challenges facing the organization.
The lead government T&E engineer is responsible for the CTP process and the Chief Engineer or Technical Director is responsible for defining the CTPs. See Defense Acquisition Guidebook (DAG) - Chapter 9.3.3

False
The responsibility for establishing critical operational issues typically falls to senior management and operational leaders within an organization. They assess various factors, including strategic goals, resource availability, and potential risks, to identify and prioritize these issues. Additionally, input from middle management and frontline employees can provide valuable insights into operational challenges that need to be addressed. Ultimately, a collaborative approach often yields the most effective identification and management of critical operational issues.
Reliability, Maintainability, and Supportability are all critical factors in achieving maximum Operational Availability.
