U.S. Air Force 31st Rescue Squadron Support to Pre-deployment Sustainment Training

27 October 2016

1.0 Scope. USAF 31st Rescue Squadron has the requirement to be capable of rapid planning, coordination and execution of a broad array of conventional and special operations oriented tasking as part of its organizational mission to conduct combat search and rescue by providing specially trained, combat ready, highly mobile forces. USAF Rescue Forces are employed in a variety of operations, across a wide spectrum of warfare areas, in the execution of this mission. The Commander, 31st Rescue Squadron, requires contracted support to provide his personnel with development, sustainment, refinement, and enhancement of their existing skill sets in preparation for their upcoming deployments.

The requirement for an advanced multidiscipline driving, shooting, advanced medical training, and urban combat tactics integration course is needed to provide the 31st RQS an intense immersion program of instruction. The course shall be structured to provide additional attention to junior personnel, who may need further instruction to overcome basic challenges allowing for successful integration alongside more experienced peers. This is accomplished by providing participants with a fourteen (14) day comprehensive multidiscipline courses combining classroom lecture, demonstration and practical application of instructed skill sets. Further, the courses integrate direct action advance pistol and carbine marksmanship, advanced medical training, designated marksmanship training, close quarter battle training, and culminates with advanced urban combat tactics integrating all trained skill sets in full mission profiles. This course shall encompass those proven tactics, techniques, and procedures that promote mission success and survivability under stress induced tactical situations. This outsourced training will include current tactics, techniques, and procedures delivered by subject matter expertise (SME) / instruction (in multiple disciplines), materials, facilities and miscellaneous support.
