PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

75th Ranger Regiment, Military Intelligence Battalion, Cyber Electromagnetic Activities Company

Part 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. OVERVIEW: The 75th Ranger Regiment’s Task Force Training events serve as BN-level evaluations of its subordinate organizations’ mission readiness. The 75th Ranger Regiment – Military Intelligence Battalion (RMIB) participates in the 75th Ranger Regiment – Special Troops Battalion’s (RSTB) Task Force Training event every other fiscal year. In each Task Force Training event, multiple military intelligence and reconnaissance disciplines are tested in a single, over-arching scenario. Due to the size and scope of these events, the Regiment requires outside support for scenario development and creation of “OPFOR” materials. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) covers this outside support. This external support will occur prior to the events at various planning milestones, and during the events overseeing the integration of the materials prepared for them. The core scenario and OPFOR structure for RSTB’s Task Force Training Event is being developed independently by G27 Contracting; further inputs to RSTB’s Task Force Training event scenario will need to be overlaid onto their existing materials during RSTB’s FY21 Task Force Training event. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide SIGINT training-related services in order to support RSTB’s FY21 Task Force Training event.
