U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command for Exercise Support for 2d Marine Raider Support Battalion during Training and Readiness Exercise (TRX) for

FY16 Statement of Work (SOW) Changes in Red

1 SCOPE. 2d Marine Raider Support Battalion (MRSB) trains and prepares Support Teams (Supt Tm) for deployments with Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) companies and teams. Prior to a Supt Tm’s Change Operational Control (CHOP) from 2d MRSB to 2d Marine Raider Battalion (MRB), the Supt Tms 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). Upon the Supt Tm’s CHOP from 2d MRSB to 2d MRB, Supt Tms are expected to have completed battalion-directed, company-led exercises which will rehearse the Supt Tm’s ability to use and trouble-shoot all communications equipment and intelligence systems, perform logistics in a deployed environment, and allow the teams to develop its internal standard operating procedures and processes. Finally, Supt Tms are required to participate in a 2d MRSB led Team Readiness Exercise II (TRX II), which is the concluding event of a Supt Tm’s ITP and is the 2d MRSB Commander’s opportunity to evaluate the team in their ability to provide fused, multi-disciplinary intelligence, communications, and logistics support to their future Marine Special Operations Company (MSOC) commanders and team leaders.

1.1 Background. The purpose of this SOW is to define the need for a reliable and flexible Human Intelligence (HUMINT), Counterintelligence (CI), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), Communication (COMM), and Logistic (LOG) mentorship and role player support for evaluation and training during the Supt Tm’s TRX II. Specific training is critical to prepare Supt Tm - India Marines as they prepare to deploy and support full spectrum intelligence operations and special operations missions. The preparation for multi-discipline intelligence operations and collection management; fused integration between CI/HUMINT, SIGINT, and GEOINT production; and the collaboration of the intelligence, communication and logistical support is essential for preparing teams for real-world scenarios throughout the gambit of Special Operation missions.

2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS.

2.1 MARSOF Training and Readiness Manual.

2.2 Wilmington Memorandum of Agreement

3 REQUIREMENTS.

3.1 General. This SOW establishes the requirements for the Logistics Support Team (LST), Command, Control, Communications, and Computers Support Team (C4ST), and Direct Support Team (DST), which make up the Supt Tm, training and exercise support for the Supt Tm’s during their TRX II iteration. It defines the material support, administrative, operational, and instructional tasks required under this SOW.

3.2 Capabilities.

3.2.1 The Contractor will provide exercise design, scenario development, product development and exercise execution support for 2d MRSB during the designated period of performance. The Contractor shall develop a scenario based on the operating environment designated by 2d MRSB, create supporting scenario documentation, and facilitate exercise execution in order to support established training objectives and METs for the Supt Tm. 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 Contractor will need to provide a Road to War brief that includes information orienting the Marines to the environment 10 business days prior to the execution of the scenarios, no later than 19 May. There should be dossiers and realistic props provided throughout the execution, from the Road to War brief to the conclusion of TRX II. The exercise shall have a fusion-centered mindset integrating HUMINT, CI, GEOINT, and SIGINT intelligence functions, as well as communication and logistical functions in support of full spectrum MSOC operations. The

Solicitation H92257-16-Q-0092 Amendment 0001 Statement of Work 2 scenarios and information should fuse in such a way as to have the Supt Tm operate as a collective unit.

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 Supt Tm’s functions 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 HUMINT and CI role player scripting should be focused on support to Special Operation Force activities and should utilize Collections Process ideologies. In order to mimic real world operations, collectors are to be familiarized with the functions within a U.S. Embassy and the responsibilities of operating from locations outside of the normal tactical realm.

3.2.3 The exercise should require HUMINT, CI and SIGINT collectors to provide information which feeds seamlessly into all other 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. They should focus on actionable information in accordance with joint targeting methodologies. Careful attention is to be taken to ensure the overall scenario has a cohesive and logical end state, allowing senior members at the DST headquarters the opportunity to drive collection to the desired end state.

3.2.4 In order to further mimic a real-world operational environment, the Contractor shall provide surveillance support. These surveillance teams will be required to provide surveillance for HUMINT, CI and SIGINT collectors located at element sites. Surveillance teams are to monitor daily activity within each site and provide surveillance throughout the period of the exercise. The surveillance controller will work closely with the DST CI/HUMINT Officer in order to ensure proper scheduling in coordination with operational activity. Contractor shall have the flexibility to support three sites, the Supt Tm headquarters and two dispersed sites.

3.2.5 The Contractor will also provide off-site training venues to include a total of four buildings or houses and two hotel rooms. Three team sized operational buildings should be capable of supporting up to ten personnel each.

Two of the buildings will be utilized for Supt Tm members and one will be for the Marines acting as role players.

The headquarters building should be capable of supporting up to 40 personnel with an exercise control building that can be either co-located or in close proximity to the headquarters building and capable of supporting contracted exercise personnel and ten additional exercise control personnel. The Contractor will coordinate with the EXCON on the procurement of the primary headquarters building for feasibility and suitability for the overall goal. Primary choice for the headquarters building, if available, would be a building in the downtown area that is enclosed in a fenced area with controlled entry/exit points. Two additional hotel rooms will also be required for scenario utilization. All facilities should be located in low traffic and low crime areas within the Wilmington, NC boundaries and include basic security functions such as locking doors, windows, and adjacent or enclosed parking for two to three vehicles. All buildings should also have basic kitchen functions; specifically a refrigerator, stove or microwave, heating and cooling, and functioning toilets, showers, and utilities. Furnished buildings are preferred, but not required if the Contractor notifies MARSOC in advance of the requirement to provide tables, chairs, and cots. Contractor will be responsible for securing incidental insurance for all building provided. Contractor will be required to coordinate with 2d MRSB for an updated list of off limits locations and desired training areas.
