SECTION 1

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES AND GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Background. The USAF Expeditionary Center (EC) provides education and training for Air Advisors and other airmen who engage with partner nation counterparts in support of Combatant Commands (CCMDs), their respective Air Components, Headquarters Air Force (HAF), Major Commands (MAJCOMs), and other validated taskings (see Appendix A – USAF Expeditionary Operations School Organization Chart). Requirements identified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) may require future modification to ensure effective Air Advisor (AA) education and training.

1.1.1 An Air Advisor is an airman specifically educated and trained to apply aviation expertise to assess, train/educate, advise, and assist foreign personnel in the development and application of their aviation resources to meet their national needs in support of U.S. interests.

1.1.1.1 For the purposes of this PWS, the term “Airmen” refers to USAF Airmen and DoD personnel from other services, US Government agencies, coalition partners, US Government civilian, US contractors, and any other Government sponsored personnel.

1.1.2 Initially, the contract will be executed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL) New Jersey; however, the contract may transition to anywhere in the Contiguous United States (CONUS).

In addition, the contract may require execution at one or more remote sites in or outside CONUS (excluding designated combat zones).

1.1.3 EC will conduct courses of varying lengths in support of multiple CCMDs and other organizations/mission areas to educate and train personnel to perform security cooperation, security assistance, security force assistance, building partnerships and building partner capacity, irregular warfare (IW), foreign internal defense (FID), counterinsurgency (COIN) and other missions that require airmen to engage with partner nation counterparts.

1.1.4 General type of student and experience level. Due to the nature of Air Advisor operations, students will be mature. They will normally have four or more years of experience in their respective career field and if the career field has an instructor qualification, they will likely be instructors themselves. For military personnel, pay grades can vary between E-4 through E-9 and O-2 through O-6.

Expect many students to have previous deployment experience, but require additional education and training to be effective Air Advisors. Other students may include airmen from other services, US government agencies, coalition partners, US government civilians, and US contractors.

1.2 Scope of Work.

1.2.1 The purpose of this PWS is to provide contract support for education and training of designated airmen approved by the Air Force.
