Performance Work Statement

Longe Range Off-Road Ground Mobility training for Agile Combat Employment Training Block

1. PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:

1.1. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the effort and execution required from the

Contractor to provide instructional services, training syllabus, facilities, ranges, and vehicles to accomplish long range mobility training. This training will provide the basic knowledge and skillsets for 57th Rescue Squadron (57 RQS) operators to conduct rapid off-road mobility. This capability will increase member survivability in the event of Large-Scale Combat Operations, and ultimately provide the Air Force a multipurpose, ground-based force multiplier capability.

1.2. Pararescue as an enterprise is reorienting to become more capable in Large Scale Combat Operations. During mission analysis, squadron leadership has identified that the most critical gap in our capability is a lack of knowledge and experience with mobility tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). In order to overcome these shortfalls, we require a vendor with access to vehicles, urban, and rural training areas, and ranges. We also require instructors with a background in training US Special Operations that can provide instruction and course material. Instruction should be tailored to 57th RQS specified Desired Learning Objectives (DLOs).

1.3. 57th RQS Desired Learning objectives for this training iteration are to learn basic vehicle mechanics & vehicle preservation, vehicle recovery techniques, Off-road driving techniques & terrain adaptation, austere navigation & route planning, preventive maintenance checks and services, night operations with night vision equipment, risk management with mountain environmental considerations, team coordination, application for military operations, and mobile over the horizon communications.

2. SCOPE:

The objective of this Performance of Work Statement is to acquire the service of contractors who will provide the required instruction, training, debriefing, off-road vehicles as delineated in paragraph 3 from 2-6 June 2025 in the United States or Europe (NATO member countries in good standing with the United States).
