U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command

For Role Player and Scripting exercise support for 2d Marine Special Operations Support

Battalion during Training Readiness Exercise for FY15

Statement of Work

29 April 2015

1. Scope: 2d Marine Special Operations Support Battalion (2d MSOSB) trains and prepares Direct

Support Teams (DST) for deployments with Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) companies and teams. Prior to a DST’s Change Operational Control (CHOP) from 2d MSOSB to 2d

Marine Special Operations Battalion (MSOB), the DSTs are required to perform multiple team level exercises during the Individual Training Phase (ITP). The purpose of these exercises is to increase the proficiency of the team members in their individual Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) as well as to evaluate their competency in fundamental requirements. These requirements are based solely on individual MOS Training and Readiness standards and core Mission Essential Tasks (MET). DSTs are required to participate in a 2d MSOSB led Training Readiness Exercise (TRX), which is the concluding event of a DST’s ITP and is the 2d MSOSB Commander’s opportunity to evaluate the team in their ability to provide fused, multi-disciplinary intelligence, communications, and logistics support to their future MSOC Commanders and MSOTs.

2. Purpose: The purpose of this SOW is to define the need for a reliable and flexible Human

Intelligence (HUMINT), Counterintelligence (CI), and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) mentorship and role player support for evaluation and training during the DST’s TRX. Specific training is critical to prepare

CI/HUMINT and SIGINT Marines of the DST as they prepare to deploy and support full spectrum intelligence operations and special operations missions. The preparation for multi-discipline intelligence operations and fused integration between CI/HUMINT, SIGINT, All-Source, and GEOINT Marines is absolutely essential for preparing teams for real-world scenarios throughout the gamut of Special

Operation Force capabilities.

3. Applicable Documents: Intelligence Chapter (draft), MARSOF Training and Readiness Manual.

4. Requirements: This SOW establishes the requirements for CI, HUMINT, and SIGINT training and exercise support for DST Hotel during their TRX. It defines the material support, administrative, operational, and instructional tasks required under this SOW.

Capability:

The contractor will provide exercise design, scenario development, product development and exercise execution support for the 2d MSOSB, DST Hotel during the designated period of performance. The Contractor shall develop a scenario based on the operating environment designated by DST Hotel, create supporting scenario documentation, and facilitate exercise execution in order to support established training objectives and METs core tasks for the DST.

This shall include assisting in the development of the exercise framework, organizing and participating in conferences, creating scenario information to include role player scripts, and

Operations and Fragmentary Orders. The exercise shall have a fusion-centered mindset integrating HUMINT, CI and SIGINT intelligence functions in support of MSOC operations.

The exercise control group will oversee the construct and implementation of the exercise continuum in order to facilitate / evaluate each training units’ ability to train to designated METs.

In the performance of this task, the contractor shall provide Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) as exercise designers and scenario developers to manage all facets of the exercise life cycle, and write/adjust scenario scripting as required for the exercise. The exercise will be designed to train and provide a venue to evaluate the DST intelligence functions through reinforcement of their individual and collective skill sets in an operational environment similar to the ones they will experience on deployment.

CI/HUMINT role player scripting should be focused on support to MARSOC activities utilized by CI/HUMINT Marines. In order to mimic real world operations, Intelligence Marines are to be familiarized with the functions within a U.S. Embassy, other government agency offices, and the responsibilities of operating from locations outside of the normal tactical realm.

The exercise should require Intelligence Marines to provide information which feeds seamlessly into all intelligence functions within the DST, necessitating every member of the team to understand their role within the organization and how to properly manage all steps in the intelligence cycle. Intelligence injects and role-player scripting should be designed to fuse all levels of the DST, to include the All-Source Analysts and Geospatial Marines. Careful attention is to be taken to ensure the overall scenario will ensure a cohesive and logical endstate, which will allow senior members of the DST the opportunity to drive collection to the desired goal.

In order to further mimic a real-world operational environment, the contractor shall provide surveillance support. These surveillance members will be required to provide surveillance for

DST Marines located at element sites for a three (3) day period. Surveillance teams are to monitor daily activity within each site and provide surveillance during operations throughout the specified period. The surveillance controller will work closely with the DST in order to ensure proper scheduling in coordination with operational activities. Contractor shall have the flexibility to support two sites.

Exercise Execution: The Contractor shall support 2d MSOSB exercises during exercise execution by:

Assisting 2d MSOSB Exercise Control Group (ECG) in briefing and implementing the scenario, general situation and exercise intelligence summaries as necessary.

Filling Exercise Control billets within their areas of expertise.

Filling billets in Exercise Control; the Contractor shall support the implementation of exercise storylines and/or vignettes and also all exercise Master Storyline Events.

Contractor shall assist the ECG in providing “dynamic scripting” during the exercise to ensure that all training goals and objectives are achieved.

Contractor shall participate as needed in the capture of lessons learned and at any post exercise after action review boards conducted by 2d MSOSB.
