U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command For Air Services to support Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) training and exercise support for 2d Marine Raider Battalion during MSOC I Company Collective Exercise (CCE) Statement of Work

26 July 2018

1. Task Purpose/Scope. 2d Marine Raider Battalion (MRB) trains and prepares MSOCs for deployments with Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC). The CCE exercise is the MSOC’s opportunity to conduct full mission profiles (FMP) operations to achieve proficiency Direct Action (DA), Special Reconnaissance (SR), Foreign Internal Defense (FID), Counterinsurgency (COIN), and support to Unconventional Warfare (UW). Furthermore, the exercise provides a “free play” venue to rehearse the ability to operate and trouble-shoot all communications equipment and intelligence systems as well as have the opportunities to develop internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and other Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) in support of operations and intelligence fusion to enable the find, fix, finish, exploit, analyze, and disseminate (F3EAD) cycle. MSOCs are required to participate in a CCE, which provides the Commander an opportunity to assess the MSOC and its ability to provide fused, multi-disciplinary intelligence, communications, and logistics support while conducting concurrent full spectrum special operations. Flexibility is paramount in the design and execution of the scenario in order to meet critical training objectives. The period of performances are from 06 August 2018 to 29 August 2018, with exercise execution from 20 August 2018 to 29 August 2018, for MSOC I’s CCE. Exercise support products and deliverables are due prior to the execution of the exercise per the timelines identified below. CCE will be conducted in Onslow, Pender, Jones, Carteret, and New Hanover county areas, and the areas surrounding the local military installations.
