PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) January 20, 2022
FOR
2022 ANNUAL HURRICANE EXERCISE SUPPORT SERVICES
1.0 General: The mission of the Directorate of Military Support (DOMS) is to coordinate Defense Support of Civilian Authorities (DSCA), provide oversight for domestic operations and provide prepared units to mitigate incident impacts in Alabama or in the United States at the direction of appropriate civil authorities. DOMS provides oversight, coordinates, and tracks Alabama National Guard (ALNG) support missions to civilian authorities in domestic operations. Alabama’s two most likely events are winter storm and hurricane response.
1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and quality control necessary, except as specified in Paragraph 3.0 as Government Furnished, to perform 2022 Annual Staff Exercise Support Services, as defined in this PWS. The Contractor shall perform tasks supporting DOMS exercise operations planning and execution to include attending and facilitating planning meetings, scenario development / design, documenting exercise requirements, supporting exercise preparation, exercise execution and after action deep dive. The contractor should note that the exercise schedule is flexible and may change due to unforeseen, “real-world” contingencies and requirements not under control of the DOMS.
The exercise will include several preparatory planning events or conferences, which will require contractor support. In the event that DOMS cancels the exercise, the ALNG shall credit the exercise to the contractor upon completion of the Final Planning Meeting (FPM). The exercise requires the portrayal of a scenario derived from the FEMA All Hazards Response Plan. The scenario aligns with the State All Hazards plan with scenarios changing at the guidance and direction of ALNG leadership. Exercise will reflect current threat assessments and be approved by The Adjutant General, Director of Joint Staff, and Director of Military Support prior to execution. ALNG organizations and their civilian state and local counterparts (some simulated and others incorporated) will respond to an imminent threat of disaster by simulating emergency preparedness and response activities. The exercise will provide the ALNG with an opportunity to conduct mission command, execute coordination with and support to civilian authorities, explore the Dual Status Command (DSC) concept, plan interstate mutual aid under Emergency Management Assistance Compacts (EMAC), Joint Reception Staging and Onward Integration (JRSOI), and coordinate with T-10 and NGB entities. Additionally, the exercise will allow DOMS to experience challenges associated with preparing the force to respond to numerous types of mission assignments that include Humanitarian Assistance, Urban Search and Rescue (US&R), impact assessment, emergency medical care, area evacuations, debris removal, security, communications, hazardous materials (HAZMAT) response and relief supply management and distribution.
1.2 Background: In 2011, DOMS created the Domestic Operations Group (DOG). This is a dedicated domestic response staff tasked with managing large-scale defense support of civil authorities operations in Alabama.
PWS FOR 2022 EXERCISE SUPPORT SERVICES
The staff is a mix of full-time National Guard personnel and traditional National Guard personnel covering all critical staff functions from operations to personnel and logistics.
The DOG works with DOMS on large domestic operations in support of the AEMA.
Their inaugural mission was working the highly successful response to the April 2011 tornados. Since 2011, the DOG has participated in yearly simulated DSCA exercises and responded to 29 real world DSCA response missions in support of the AEMA.
DOMS and the DOG train year round to ensure their readiness to facilitate and control all ALNG Domestic Operations within the State of Alabama, Region IV, or the Nation.
Throughout each year, the ALNG conducts various large-scale exercises to ensure preparedness for different responses. Participation in exercises ensures the ALNG is ready to cooperate with disaster response partners at all levels. The annual DCSA Staff Exercise (STAFFEX) tests the ALNG’s ability to support the citizens of Alabama in the area of hurricane response actions. The ALNG conducts the STAFFEX before the start of hurricane season (June 1) to test plans, communication, response capabilities, force availability and other aspects of DSCA response preparation.
