Questions and Answers Page 1, Section 3.0 Place of Performance

- May training commence, occur, and take place solely in Utah high desert, mountains, low desert plains, and sand areas?

Previous operator feedback is that the area in/around Moab, UT is the closest match to the Mongolian steppes. Terrain must include mountainous ascent/descent, high desert, slickrock and high probability of snow (training time was chosen to include snow). It is possible other areas of the southwest could match this description, but it is a known fact that Moab does.

Page 3, Section 5.3 Minimum Instructor Qualifications

- Our instructors have experience in off and on road motorsports, experience driving in Mongolia, as well experience serving in Army Special Operations (deployments in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kyrgyzstan) . Can this experience be substituted for Camel Trophy and Mongol Rally challenge event(s) experience?

An ideal match would give preference to the named events, as these events took place in the areas we are trying to mimic in this training. At minimum the instructor should have experience driving in central and western Mongolia, to understand the terrain the operators will work in.

Page 4, Section 5.5 Teaching Materials, Sub-Section (a) Vehicles and Safety Aids

- Are all contractor-supplied student vehicles required to have full roll cages and/or roll bars? If so, what sanction body and date of inspection should these have.

- Are all contractor-supplied student vehicles required to have full 4 and/or 5 point harnesses? If so, what safety approval must they have and what is the latest expiration date they should meet?

No. No. Operators will be utilizing Toyota Land Cruisers on deployment. Land Cruiser / Land Rovers with normal safety equipment that will be available in country will suffice. Reference 2-0 scope paragraph.

Page 4, Section 5.6 Items Required for Participants, Sub-Section (a) Medical Liability
