Operating locations: Andersen AB Guam, Sigonella NAS Italy, Misawa AB Japan, ASD: Average Sortie Duration The Average Sorties/Day, ASD, Hours/Month, Aircraft, and LRE GCS represent maximum numbers the contractor is expected to support. Operations at Andersen AB and NAS Sigonella are based on 24/7 scheduling but actual mission will be generated in accordance with the GFMAP. Actual requirements may vary and are defined in the task orders.

Notes: Capital Assets are not available for training (aircraft/LRE GCS)

* LRE GCSs are configureable and shared between Blks of aircraft ** Aircraft assigned to Andersen AFB, Guam will deploy to Misawa, the PACOM locations will have a maximum of 5 aircraft at any one location.

2.0 RQ-4 Deployed Requirements: The actual number of sites, Orbits per site, and total number of

Orbits will vary as dictated by mission requirements but will not exceed maximum requirements identified below. Support at all locations shall provide 24 hour/7 day coverage.
