U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command For Mentor, Scripting and Exercise support for 3d Marine Raider Support Battalion during

Team Readiness Exercises (TRX) Statement of Work Changes in Red

1 SCOPE. This SOW covers need for reliable and flexible Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Counterintelligence (CI), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), embassy simulation, role player and support for evaluation and training during TRX 16-02. Specific training is critical to prepare Marines of the Support Teams (STs) to deploy and execute intelligence operations to support special operations missions. The preparation for multi-discipline intelligence operations and fused integration between CI/HUMINT, SIGINT, All-Source, and GEOINT is essential for preparing teams for real-world scenarios throughout the gamut of Special Operation Force capabilities.

1.1 Background. 3d Marine Raider Support Battalion (3d MRSB) trains and prepares STs for deployments with Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) companies and teams. Prior to a ST’s Change of Operational Control (CHOP) from 3d MRSB to 3d Marine Raider Battalion (MRB), the STs are required to perform multiple team level exercises during the Unit Training Phase (UTP). Upon the ST’s CHOP from 3d MRSB to 3d MRB, STs are expected to have completed exercises which rehearse the ST’s ability to operate and trouble-shoot all communications equipment and intelligence systems, and provide opportunities to develop internal TTPs. STs are required to participate in a culminating Team Readiness Exercise (TRX), which provides the 3d MRSB Commander an opportunity to assess the team and their ability to provide fused, multi-disciplinary intelligence, communications, and logistics support to a MSOC.

2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS.

2.1 U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operation Command Manual.

-Intelligence Chapter (draft), MARSOF Training and Readiness Manual

2.2 Availability of DoD Documents. Unless otherwise indicated, copies of specifications, standards and handbooks listed above are available upon contract award.

3 REQUIREMENTS.

3.1 General. The service required by this contract shall be performed in accordance with the applicable documents of section 2 and this SOW.

3.1.1 This SOW establishes the requirements for CI, HUMINT, SIGINT, embassy training and exercise support for TRX 16-02. It defines the material support, administrative, operational and instructional tasks required under this SOW.

3.2 Capability.

3.2.1 The contractor will provide exercise design, scenario development, product development and exercise execution support for the 3d MRSB support teams during the designated periods of performance. The Contractor shall develop scenarios based on the operating environment designated by 3d MRSB, create supporting scenario documentation, and facilitate exercise execution in order to support established training objectives, METs and core tasks for the ST. 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 emphasis integrating HUMINT, CI, and SIGINT intelligence functions, along with embassy and customs interaction in support of MSOC operations. The exercise control group will oversee the construct and implementation of the exercise continuum in order to facilitate and evaluate each ST’s 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 ST intelligence functions and interaction with senior State Department personnel

Solicitation H92257-16-Q-0079 Amendment 0001 2 through reinforcement of their individual and collective skill sets in an operational environment similar to the ones they will experience on deployment.

3.2.2 CI/HUMINT role player scripting shall be focused on support to U.S. Marine Special Operations

Command 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 tactical realm.

3.2.3 The exercise shall require Intelligence Marines to provide information which feeds seamlessly into all intelligence functions within the ST, necessitating every member of the team to understand their role within the organization and how to properly execute all steps in the intelligence cycle.
