ISO CANNON 24

Mountain Home AFB (MHAFB), ID

October 2024

1. GENERAL INFORMATION.

1.1. Description of Work. The contractor shall provide non-personal services, to include all personnel, tools and required equipment, to support training scenarios for the Cannon 24

Exercise in October 2024. Cannon will involve providing focused training for approximately

400 Airmen to prepare them for base attacks to include Theater Ballistic Missiles (TBM) and

Opposition Forces (OPFOR). The contractor will provide immersive scenarios to allow teams to exercise crisis action principles and small team leadership as well as communicate to the chain of command through multiple command posts to facilitate the passage of accurate information. The requirement consists of a series of scenarios where professional Opposition Forces

(OPFOR)/Situational Forces (SITFOR) participation in the exercise is required to meet training objectives. The contractor shall be required to work closely with the Cannon planning team to coordinate all support necessary to conduct this training. The contractor shall comply with applicable federal, regional, state and local laws, and commercial standards.

1.2. Background. The Cannon Exercise shall be conducting Full Mission Profiles within DoD range environments and civilian airports that are approved and coordinated realistic military training areas. The training shall be conducted at designated areas at Mountain Home AFB and one other contingency location of Twin Falls Airport and Wendover Airport. The contracted

Multi-vectored Attack Simulation will validate the requirement to conduct realistic training involving hyper realistic TBM/Cruise Missile and OPFOR attacks to build on the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) already provided from previous training.

1.2.1 At future dates, the government reserves the right to incorporate, add, remove, and/or modify quantities of work within the scope of this requirement. At times, due to the nature of work, it may be necessary to modify this requirement on an as-needed basis.

Additionally, there may be a need for ‘one-time’ requirements or special sub-contracting opportunities in order to fulfill the requirement needs. Any future changes to this requirement will be negotiated and incorporated in the contact via contract modification, whether by negotiation, or based on priced line items currently incorporated within the contract.

1.3. Scenario Development. The Cannon planning team and white force shall build the scenarios to support training objectives. Events shall be scripted with copies provided to the contractor to ensure understanding and compliance with the scenario.

1.3.1. The Cannon exercise shall require a variety of the following OPFOR/SITFOR and back side support (example: transportation of equipment). It is desired but not required that 50% of contracted personnel must have experience training military members in high stress realistic attack scenarios on a military base. Actual combat experience is required for the Program Manager. The company must have experience implementing scenarios around fighter aircraft as the exercise will be in proximity of sensitive and high-value fighter jets. The contractor must provide high-stress, realistic scenarios for front line leaders and their teams, appropriate to the mission/region.

1.3.2. Throughout the main execution of the Cannon exercise, the contractor shall be required to receive briefings and guidance on the scenarios. The exact details of OPFOR by event and locations shall be refined by the Cannon planning team and white force and contractor one month prior and are subject to changes once the actual training scenarios begin due to weather, transportation difficulties or other unknowns. During the exercise, specified OPFOR/SITFOR shall ‘be prepared’ to move to enhance the training effect at other sites or events as directed. Activities involve simulating attacks and monitoring actions taken after attacks to provide feedback to the exercise player.

1.3.3. The type of training, and resulting Multi-vectored Attack Simulations requirements, may be changed by the Cannon planning team and white force if within scope, based on changing mission requirements, no later than 24 hours before the start date of that support. Specifically, these changes pertain to each overall scenario based on

Intel injects. The contractor shall not perform changes that exceed the intent of this PWS without written consent and authorization of a warranted Contracting Officer.

1.3.4. The Cannon exercise shall require working an average of up to 8-12 hour increments. Requirements shall be refined to attempt to optimize OPFOR/SITFOR usage over the three event days. The Contractor shall attend all safety briefings as directed by the Cannon planning team and white force.

1.4. Hours of Operation. The exercise will take place over the entire indicated time period (12 hours a day) and the contractor shall be prepared to provide services at all times.

OPFOR/SITFOR personnel hours shall be determined based on the scenarios they support but will not exceed the required period of performance stated in this PWS.
