STATEMENT OF TRAINING OBJECTIVES

Aviation Incident Exercise in Reno, Nevada

Nevada Army National Guard

1. GENERAL:

Army Aviation Support Facility (AASF) has conducted large scale Aviation Accident exercise as required by regulation annually. Key leaders in areas of interest perform most of the planning and evaluation tasks, without being directly evaluated or provided with feedback themselves. Nevada Aviation is looking to hire a contractor to plan and administer a full exercise of the NVARNG AASF pre-accident plan, involving all participants internal and external to the organization, as much as practicable, to stress-test the plan and enable the organization to learn and improve by defining and refining steps in the plan that are ambiguous or lack depth.

2. MULTI-PHASE AVIATION INCIDENT EXERCISE: Multi-Phase Exercise to accomplish full test of pre-accident plan and organization readiness:

Phase 1: Mishap Occurs

Phase 2: Pre-Accident Plan Initiated

Phase 3: Mishap Response

See attachment “FY23 Pre Accident Plan Exercise.pptx for additional details”

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITIES:

a. Participate in Kickoff Table-Top discussion/initial exercise planning meeting

b. Coordinate with External Participants

c. Examine AASF Pre-Accident Plan and the participants in every aspect possible to identify gaps in organizational knowledge and weaknesses in the plan itself prior to exercise.

d. Gather as much information as possible from exercise through white cell, documentation used, AARs, etc. in order to improve plan.

e. Plan and administer to conduct a full exercise of the NVARNG AASF pre-accident plan, involving all participants internal and external to the organization, to maximum practical extent. The exercise is intended to create a realistic environment and provide real actionable data, not create a flawless or scripted performance.

f. Stress-test the plan and enable the organization to learn and improve by defining and refining steps in the plan that are ambiguous or lack depth.
