G3 C2 Digital and Simulation Support

Part 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL: This is a services requirement to provide Mission Command (MC) digital training capability and higher command (HICON) coordination & information to the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence (MSCoE) G3 Training Instruction Branch. This requirement is to provide digital communication training, simulations training, and command and control (C2) expertise. For simplicity, the term event will be used to identify exercises or events that may require subject matter experts (SMEs), digital instruction, and/or simulation use. The term simulations will be used to identify Army approved, virtual and constructive simulation system as well as a simulated analog event.

The term instruction will be used to identify those areas needing a classroom-type instruction. Based on historical data, the Government estimates that a minimum of 5 employees, including the Site Lead, will be required to fulfill the requirements of this contract.

1.1 Background: Digital Mission Command Systems (MCS) and battle command staff training events are a required element of the training conducted for MSCoE schools, the US Army NCO Academy (NCOA), TPO- Protection, Maneuver Enhanced Brigade (MEB), and other operational forces located or training at Fort Leonard Wood (FLW), Missouri. MSCoE schools include the US Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear School (USACBRNS), the US Army Engineer School (USAES), the US Army Military Police School (USAMPS) and the Protection Integration Course (PIC). This also includes the regional National Guard and Reserve Forces.

1.2 Hours of Operation: Primarily between the normal business hours of 0700 and 1600 Monday thru Friday.

All classes will be taught to training outline standards and flex time will be utilized if training is required outside the normal business hours.

1.3 Place of Performance: The work to be performed under this contract shall be primarily performed at the Digital Training Facility (DTF), BLDG 3205. The Government will ensure Contractor personnel performing on-site support have access to NIPRNet (Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network) and MCASP (Mission Command Arts & Science Program) computers for research and testing. These will be desktop computers secured within building 3205. Scanning and printing capability will also be provided. The Government will manage and maintain the equipment and the Contractor will not be required to sign for the equipment. All equipment provided by the Government will remain the property of the US Government at the end of the contract at which time they shall be returned to the COR in fully serviceable condition. The Government will provide digital equipment, software and support facilities at the designated work locations. This support equipment currently consists of 414 MCASP supported training systems; 50 Games for Training laptops; 76 Simulation system laptops; and monitors for each system. Computers will remain within the DTF along with Field Manuals (FMs), Army Training Evaluation Program (ARTEP) Manuals, and Mission Essential Task List (METL), and all information created or related to the execution of this PWS. The Government will provide the POIs, lesson plans, slide shows, and documents listed in the technical exhibit of this PWS. Contractor shall update lesson plans as C2 systems evolve. The Government will provide dedicated static classrooms for instruction, events, and White Cell functions. The hardware will remain in place at all times. The Government will provide new software releases, updates, and licenses as required.
