U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command

For Services to support the creation of a contested Radio Frequency (RF) environment training and exercise support for 2d Marine Raider Support Battalion during Training and Readiness Exercise II (TRX II)

Statement of Work (2- 14 Dec 2020)

1. (CUI) OVERVIEW:

1.1 (CUI) The purpose of this statement of work (SOW) is to define the need for a reliable and flexible RED CELL in order to test the effectiveness of MRST G Techniques Tactics and Procedures (TTPs) specifically in a contested environment opposing Violent Extremist Organizations and Peer/near peer threats to the Blue Force or Exercise Force.

1.2 (CUI) The RED CELL will create an environment to mirror adversarial threats to the SOTF/MSOC/MSOT operations within the exercise Area of Responsibility (AOR). The environment will replicate passive Radio

Frequency (RF) and active RF capabilities utilizing commercial off the shelf (COTs) equipment that the general public would be able to acquire and gain proficiency using open source resources as well as physical and visual observation of the exercise force. Additionally, the environment will also replicate passive and active RF capabilities to mirror Violent Extremist Organizations (VEO) and peer/near peer adversaries. Training in this simulated contested environments is critical to prepare the Marines of Marine Raider Support Team G to deploy and support full-spectrum special operations as part of the MSOC and the larger Joint and Coalition force.

2. (CUI) BACKGROUND:

2.1 (CUI) From 2 to 14 December 2020, 2d MRSB will conduct Training and Readiness Exercise II (TRX II) for

Marine Raider Support Team Golf (MRST G) on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina to exercise and assess collective Training and Readiness (T&R) standards in preparation for CHOP to Marine Special Operations

Company Golf (MSOC G) and subsequent deployment.

2.2 (CUI) In order to properly conduct the training, a RED CELL capability is required to replicate various threat actors and or groups of threat actors throughout the exercise Area of Operations. This capability is required to train and exercise the conduct of full spectrum special operations in a contested environment against a VEO and peer/near peer threat.

3. (CUI) APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS:
