DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

1.1 Requiring Agency. The USAF Expeditionary Center’s Expeditionary Operations School (EOS) is responsible to provide Fieldcraft Training to approximately 6,000 cross-functional, conventional Airmen each year that will directly support various Overseas Contingency Operations. The USAF EOS requires contractor support as contingency skills instructors, Opposing Forces, and Role Players.

1.1.1 DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE

AIR MOBILITY COMMAND

USAF EXPEDITIONARY CENTER

JOINT BASE MCGUIRE DIX LAKEHURST

1.2. Fieldcraft Defined: Fieldcraft training, as defined within this PWS and under the USAF EOS concept of operations, refers to all ground focused, expeditionary and contingency skills required to survive and operate within a combat zone, hostile or austere environment (predominantly out of garrison mission sets). These general ground combat and lifesaving skills are required to ensure personnel are fully equipped to effectively, efficiently, and safely execute assigned missions.

Fieldcraft training includes but is not limited to:

1.2.1 Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED)

1.2.2 Convoy Operations

1.2.3 Dismounted/Urban Tactics

1.2.4 Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)

1.2.5 Advanced Life Saving Skills

1.2.6 High Threat Driving Techniques

1.2.7 Weapons Sustainment.

1.2.8 Vehicle Rollover/Egress

1.2.9 Self-Protection Fundamentals

1.2.10 Basic Communications

1.2.11 Map Reading and Basic Land Navigation

1.2.12 Tactical Movement

1.2.13 Active Shooter/Insider Threat

1.2.14 Bare Base Operations

1.2.15 Opposing Forces (OPFOR) and Role Players

1.3. Background. The USAF EOS is the Air Force Expeditionary Combat Support Center of Excellence dedicated to educate, train and exercise cross-functional, conventional Airmen in deployed operations. The USAF EOS is responsible for developing and conducting Fieldcraft courses. U.S. forces must be able to provide a rapid response to a variety of geopolitical climates.

Part of that response must include training personnel to operate in a full spectrum of conflict. The goal of Fieldcraft is to provide classroom instruction and field training to exercise the knowledge and skills required to survive and operate in the ongoing major efforts in the contingency operations spectrum.

1.4. Objective. Acquire contractor contingency skills instruction, OPFOR and Role Player support for USAF EOS Fieldcraft courses at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ. Contractors will work with military personnel and other contractors to prepare for, reconstitute, execute, and instruct USAF EOS Fieldcraft courses.

SECTION 2

TASKS

2.1. Scope of Work. The contractor shall provide support as contingency skills instructors, Opposing Forces, and Role Players for Fieldcraft training. Support functions for Fieldcraft training and/or exercise support include classroom instruction, field/range instruction/application, tactical exercise support assistance, and logistics functions arising from the aforementioned. The contractor may be required to participate as members of a Mobile Training Team (MTT) and provide instruction at an off-site/alternative learning location in addition to providing instruction at the EC. This MTT travel may be OCONUS. The USAF will provide the contractor all course material, such as lesson plans and presentation materials.

2.2. Instruction. The contractor shall provide Fieldcraft instruction in the fieldcraft areas described above, using instructors who meet the specific qualifications described below. The Government combines those areas of instruction into specific courses, which can be generally categorized per the general course descriptions below.

2.3. Student Load. Upon contract award and throughout contract Period of Performance (PoP), task orders will issued for instructors in 6 month increments to ensure adequate instructors to meet anticipated student loads are provided. The contractor will be responsible for teaching approximately 150 students a day at an Instructor to Student Ratio (ISR) of 2:15 or ratio of similar instructional output. The Government reserves the right to adjust the ISR to meet new/emerging training requirements to support World events. New training requirements may increase the requirement to up to 480 students at a 2:15 ISR or ratio of similar instructional output. While ISRs may vary from one lesson to another, the requirement can best be conceptualized as the number of instructors required to instruct a given number of students at a 2:15 ISR. For example, at the steady state requirement of 150 students it would require 20 available Instructors. Should the number of students required to be taught increase by 15, an additional 2 instructors would be required. Fieldcraft courses run approximately 220 days out of the year in varying degrees of student throughput. A minimum of 6 weeks notice will be provided in the event the government plans to increase student throughput by 75 students or less (requiring up to an additional 10 Instructors). A minimum of 10 weeks notice will be provided in the event the government plans to increase student throughput by more than 75 students (requiring more than 10 additional instructors). Throughout the PoP, task orders may be adjusted based upon anticipated student load for the next 6 month task order period. In the event that the class size decreases, the contractor may be notified to reduce the number of instructors required to teach courses due to a reduction in student production requirements. This notice will be provided prior to execution of task orders. Government will execute Role Player/OPFOR task orders as needed, notification will occur a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to start of class.

2.4. General course descriptions are as follows:

• “Hostile” type courses are designed to prepare students for operations in known hostile environments and/or combat zones where Service Members are expected to be armed and routinely wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Courses are approximately two (2) weeks long.

• “Uncertain” courses are designed to prepare students for operations in semi-austere, possibly hostile, but non-combat and uncertain environments, where Service Members are typically unarmed and do not routinely wear PPE (although weapons/PPE may be available). Courses are approximately two (2) weeks long.

• “Specialized” courses are designed for expeditionary or standing force Air Advisors or other unique career fields (e.g., Fieldcraft Judge Advocate General, Fieldcraft Mobility Support Advisory Squadron (MSAS), Fieldcraft Chaplain Corps) who may operate in any of the above operating environments. Courses are approximately one (1) to six (6) weeks long. Air Advisor Academic Training is conducted under a separate contract.
