INTRODUCTION

C.1. Introduction. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the effort required to provide all personnel, transportation, supervision and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the Leesville, Louisiana MTC Simulation/Stimulation (Sim/Stim) training support as defined in this PWS except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services.

C.1.1. Description of Services/Introduction. The contractor shall provide all personnel, manage Government equipment, supplies, facilities, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the maintenance and operation of the MTC as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The contractor shall perform to the standards in this task order.

C.1.2. Background. The Department of the Army (DA) G 3/5/7 has designated the MTC as the vehicle for providing collective training and sustainment on Army Mission Command Systems, using a variety of tools and Army fielded systems. These systems are used to support small unit; Squads through Company, Medium unit, and Battalion through Brigade in training environments ranging from Stability and Support Operations (SSO) through Full Spectrum Operations. (FSO). Digital mission command (MC) systems have been fielded to units from platoon through theater level. The Army’s MTCs focus on realistic and demanding training. MC focuses our support on the leadership. MC recognizes the key role played by leadership in the dynamic environment of conflict.

Furthermore, the focus on “mission” type orders emphasizes to subordinate leaders the results to be attained. In order to function effectively in the Army’s Unified Land Operations operating environment, these leaders must receive the best training available to enable them to successfully carry out mission oriented orders. These MC systems allow a fuller immersed view of the battlefield and give commanders at all levels better situational awareness.

C.1.3. Objectives. The contractor shall support individual sustainment through collective Mission Command training, Leadership Training/Development, Warfighter Functions (WFF) training, Games for Training (GFT), and constructive simulations supported training as well as facilities management and access control. These training events may occur concurrently or separately. The contractor shall maintain the ability to simultaneously conduct these training requirements. Cross training of personnel is a key element to the contractor’s ability to support simultaneous exercises. The contractor shall be capable of combining these events into a simultaneous synthetic environment using the Live, Virtual, Constructive, and Gaming (LVCG) Integrated Training Environment (ITE).

C.1.4. Scope. The contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision and other services necessary to perform the tasks in the task order.

C.1.4.1. Services include support in conducting computer driven Live, Virtual, Constructive and Games for Training (GFT) simulation exercises for Active Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard and other units in Joint, Combined and Service oriented command and staff actions from Individual through Brigade / BCT level. The contractor shall provide the services under this contract, to include individual through collective mission command training, support to mission rehearsal exercises, staff planning, leader training/development, live simulations, virtual simulations, constructive simulations, GFT, database preparation and maintenance; scenario creation; contractor controller training and functions; exercise controller training; marketing of available systems and exercises, simulations/simulators operation and management, and post exercise actions, to include facility cleanup, and maintenance; installation and maintenance of communications lines, circuits, and equipment, network and system administration on simulations network, NIPR and SIPR Local Area Networks (LAN), and functional area research.

The MTC provides a facility for simulations training and the contractor shall provide an access control capability. It provides battle staff training “on demand” which is coordinated and facilitated through the central scheduling function on the MTC SharePoint Page. The frequency for the battle staff events are IAW DA Mission Command Training Strategy, MTC Regulations and annexes that address the Digital Training Program.

C.1.4.2. All personnel utilized in the performance of the contract shall be employees of the contractor and shall not be construed to be employees of the Government. The Government will coordinate all contractor work through the Site Manager or their representatives. The contractor shall ensure that the conduct and appearance of contractor employees and their work areas while at the MTC shall not in any way reflect discredit upon this Installation or upon the Department of the Army (DA). The contractor shall not employ any employee of the United States Government, either military or civilian, if such employment would create a conflict of interest, nor employ any of their relatives or individuals with whom the Government employee has a covered relationship, if such employment would result in a violation of Department of Defense (DoD) Regulation 5500.07-R, Joint Ethics Regulation (JER).

The contractor acknowledges that DoD personnel are required to comply with all provisions of the JER. This regulation restricts Government employees from engaging in a number of activities that create an appearance of impropriety or otherwise violate the law, including certain activities involving interaction with contractors and their employees. The contractor shall use its best efforts to prevent its employees from taking any action which constitutes or could be construed as soliciting, encouraging, assisting, aiding, or abetting any DoD employee to violate any provision of the JER.
