Scope 1.3 4

Vision. The intent of this solicitation is to obtain commercial command and control (C2) training services in support of two (2) C2 training organizations within the C2TECOE Branch of the MAGTF Staff Training Program (MSTP): (1) the MAGTF Operations Center Training Team (MOCTT); and (2) the MAGTF Integrated Systems Training Centers (MISTCs) Headquarters and the five (5) subordinate MISTCs.

1.1 MOCTT Mission and Background.

1.1.1 MAGTF1 Operations Center Training Team (MOCTT):

The MOCTT is a section from within the C2TECOE Branch of the MAGTF Staff Training Program (MSTP). The mission of the MOCTT is to train and assess the performance of the Combat Operations Center (COC) for: (1) a Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF), or a MEF operating as Joint Force Task Group; and (2) a MEF Major Subordinate Command (MSC), or an MSC operating as a Joint Task Force.

The MOCTT trains these centers to command and control a MAGTF in a Joint multi-domain combat operation in a complex operating environment2. The MOCTT provides COC Watch Stander personnel with training and education on watch stander procedures and processes in support of all-domain3 operations across the seven warfighting functions4.

The MOCTT Section Head, GS-13 is overall responsible for MOCTT exercise support planning, personnel management, staff training and development, MOCTT assessment materials, COC training support documents, and work plan assignments. The MOCTT government staff consists of a Combat

1 The Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) consists of four core elements: a command element (CE), a ground combat element (GCE), an aviation combat element (ACE), and a logistics combat element (LCE).

MAGTFs operate and fight at sea, from the sea, and ashore as an integrated part of the Naval force and the larger Combined/Joint force 2 A complex operating environment is represented by the sum total, or composite of conditions, circumstances, and influences affecting the employment of the MAGTF.

3The five domains are: sea, space, cyber, land, and air.

4 The seven warfighting functions are: maneuver, aviation, fires, logistics, information, force protections, and C2.

Operations Center (COC) Instructor, GS-13; a Marine Master Sergeant (MSgt/0399); and Gunnery Sergeant (GySgt/MOS 0369).

1.2 MAGTF Integrated Systems Training Centers and Headquarters (MISTC and MISTC

HQ):

1.2.1 MAGTF Integrated Systems Training Centers (MISTC)

The mission of the MISTCs is to provide timely and relevant training in both the art and science of command and control for commanders, staffs, and individual Marines, to enable them to act more decisively than the enemy. Each MISTC is staffed with a GS-13, Site Director, but varies in active duty, government civilians, and contractor personnel based on various factors such as Fleet Marine Forces (FMF) units aboard each base, student throughput, and facilities. The MISTCs share the common theme of developing and providing standardized Marine Corps’ Program of Record (POR), individual C2 systems, billet, and process training to FMF Marines as well as collective battle staff training at battalion and regimental levels. The five operational MISTCs are:

• MISTC East, Camp Johnson NC

• MISTC 29 Palms, Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center (MCAGCC), 29 Palms, CA

• MISTC West, Camp Pendleton CA

• MISTC Hawaii, Marine Corps Base (MCB) Kaneohe, HI

• MISTC Okinawa, Camp Courtney, MCB Okinawa

Note: a sixth MISTC is tentatively planned for Guam.

1.2.2 MISTC Headquarters and Operations.

The MISTC Headquarters (HQ) Section is part of the C2TECOE Branch, of MSTP, and is overall responsible for planning, scheduling, and coordinating the necessary resources (e.g., curriculum, instructors, classroom and COC equipment, and program of record C2 systems) to ensure the MISTCs can successfully provide C2 training to Marine Corps organizations, i.e., FMF units, Marine Corps supporting establishment, and the reserves. . The C2TECOE Branch Head (GS-14) is overall responsible for MISTC Headquarters Operations.

• The MISTC Headquarters is currently staffed with a GS-13, MISTC Operations Officer; and a Marine Gunnery Sergeant (GySgt/MOS 0369). The MISTC HQ provides the following primary MISTC higher headquarters functions with the MISTC Operations providing direct oversight for:

o (1) Daily coordination of operations at the MISTC HQ and its five (5) MISTCs.

o (2) Planning, developing and managing the annual MISTC Training Exercise and Employment Plan (TEEP).

o (3) Ensuring properly trained instructors, classroom equipment, facilities, and technical resources are available to support MISTC training courses.

o (4) Coordinating C2 systems training requirements with the FMF supporting establishment, and reserves.

CUI 3

The MISTC Operations Officer also ensures the MISTC HQ Battle Rhythm is synchronized with the MSTP and the MISTCs5. For example, the MISTC Operations Officer conducts bi-weekly operations synchronization (OpSync) meetings with the five MISTC Site Directors and attends the weekly MSTP OpSync meeting. The MISTC Operations Officer is also responsible for coordinating (1) MISTC training support for other Formal Learning Centers and Schools; (2) Mobile Training Teams (MTTs) efforts in support of the FMF and the reserves; and (3) MISTC instructor augmentation and internal organizational event travel.

1.2.3 MISTC Academics and Curriculum Development.

The MISTC Academic and Curriculum Section is responsible for oversite of C2 systems Program of Instruction (POI) development, management, maintenance, administration, and instructor development in support of approved formal MISTC POIs and POI Pilot Courses under development. This section is currently staffed with GS-13 Training Specialist and a Gunnery Sergeant (MOS 0369). Other section responsibilities include:

• Ensuring MISTC C2 systems related training and MISTC supported Battle Staff Training Exercises (BSTEX) are professionally taught in accordance with Marine Corps’ formal school policy and Instructional Systems Design/Systems Approach to Training and Education (ISD/SAT- E) processes and procedures, the MISTC Academics Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and subsequent versions.

• Ensuring all courseware is aligned with the Marine Corps Service Level Training Exercise Program (SLTE-P), and C2 related Training and Readiness standards. Curriculum development and management efforts are prioritized by the Director, MSTP based on FMF and MSTP C2 systems training priorities.

• Planning and coordinating C2 systems New Equipment Training (NET), Initial Key Personnel Training (IKPT) for MISTC Instructors and HQs Course Managers as a result of major software and hardware system changes.

1.2.4 MOCTT/C2TECOE Futures Section.

1.2.5 MOCTT and MISTC C2 Systems, COC, Training Classroom Computer and Network Operations, Maintenance, Equipment Procurement and Sustainment.

MOCTT and MISTCs C2 systems, COC, classroom training network procurement and sustainment is primarily supported by the C2TECOE Branch at MSTP, starting with C2 systems/COC hardware and software configuration management.

• The MOCTT and MISTC HQs serves as the primary technical points of contact for installation, operation, and maintenance support functions for Marine Corps C2 system Programs of Record (POR)6 fielded to the FMF to support all levels and elements of the MAGTF.

• The MISTCs rely on their C2TECOE for C2 systems and COC configuration management coordination with the various C2 systems project offices supporting program development and support for the systems and applications and their follow-on replacements listed in Appendix C.

• The MISTCs are responsible for installing, operating, and maintaining their respective training classroom computer networks and C2 system/COC configurations, and rely on the MOCTT/MISTC HQs for procurement and sustainment support, e.g., purchase of training classroom computers and network equipment; classroom audio visual equipment; MISTC support contracts (cleaning and printing services); approval of supply purchases at Servmart, coordinating credit card purchases, and funds management.

• The MISTCs provide requirements input during the contractor led MISTC C2 Configuration Working Group and during monthly procurement and budget meetings.
