The mission of MAFR is to provide an accessible, realistic, comprehensive military training facility that is dynamic and responsive to SOCOM, AFSOC, and USAF training needs.
1.2 Background
MAFR is a Primary Training Range (PTR) accommodating multiple types of air-to-surface, surface to air, and ground training. MAFR consists of 70,010 acres and contains target arrays, Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) sites, landing zones, dudded and inert impact areas, threat simulators, weapons scoring systems, and provides Service Class A and C range capabilities. MAFR supports all DoD and non-interfering civilian agency training requirements.
1.2.1 Overall Range Management Authority

The Contractor shall provide personnel, training, supervision, and administrative support to perform nine regimes of support encompassing facility maintenance, aerial gunnery and bombing ranges, ground training ranges, MOUT sites, electronic/technology, scheduling, wildland fire, paramedic, and SITFOR. These regimes include all operations, maintenance and support (OM&S) for Melrose Air Force Range (MAFR). MAFR consists of Electronic Warfare Range (EWR), Air and ground ranges, ground training facilities, and administrative facilities. MAFR is particularly unique in the range operations and training capabilities offered to users within the Air Force. In addition, the Contractor is responsible for supporting operation and maintenance of all range equipment including vehicles and heavy equipment used to support the operations of MAFR.
The services under this PWS are essential for performance during crisis according to DFARS 257.237-7023, Continuation of Essential Contractor Services, and the plan submitted by the Contractor. See paragraph 4.33. DRAFT
1.4 Operations and Range Classifications
