Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a services contract to provide a validation exercise under the name MOUNTAIN DAGGER from 1 – 17 September 2026. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The Contractor shall provide comprehensive, turnkey training support services to plan, coordinate, and execute a Battalion-level Validation Exercise (VALEX) for the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) [10th SFG(A)]. To foster highly adaptable and realistic operational environments, the exact duration of the VALEX remains undefined, enabling the Contractor to propose and execute multiple concurrent and sequential operational concepts. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: The current global security environment demands that U.S. Army Special Forces remain prepared for highly complex, multi-domain, and irregular warfare environments. The 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) [10th SFG(A)] operates primarily in areas of responsibility characterized by sophisticated peer adversaries, hybrid threats, and denied operational environments.

To maintain peak combat readiness, 10th SFG(A) must conduct rigorous, realistic, and decentralized validation exercises that test the limits of its tactical units.

1.3 Objectives: Dedicated exercise lanes for three (3) Special Forces Operational Detachments-Alpha (SFOD-As), three (3) Special Forces Operational Detachments-Golf (SFOD-Gs), and one Special Forces Advanced Operational Base (AOB). The validation training shall seamlessly integrate complex tactical scenarios, including Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) integration, realistic off-installation SFOD-A mission targets capable of supporting simulated munitions employment, realistic off-installation SFOD-G sabotage targets capable of employing live demolitions, a rigorous medical care scenario featuring a prolonged field care lane spanning a minimum of 24 hours, and all role-players and transportation assets necessary to support the exercise.

1.4 Scope: The Contractor shall provide all necessary personnel, management, equipment, materials, facilities, and services required to plan, coordinate, and execute a comprehensive, turnkey Battalion-level Validation Exercise (VALEX) designated as MOUNTAIN DAGGER. This exercise is designed to validate the operational readiness and tactical proficiency of one tactical AOB, three SFOD-As, and three SFOD-Gs of 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) by immersing them in a highly realistic, contested, and multi-domain operational environment.

The scope of this requirement encompasses the full spectrum of exercise development, scenario management, and execution, specifically tailored for Special Forces Operational Detachments Alpha (SFOD-A) and Golf (SFOD-G), as well as an Advanced Operational Base (AOB). The Contractor shall design and implement an in-depth, dynamic irregular warfare scenario that rigorously tests the units' Mission Essential Task Lists (METL). This includes establishing dedicated, fully resourced training lanes and implementing real-time operational injects that force adaptive problem-solving and simulate peer/near-peer adversary tactics.

Furthermore, the Contractor's responsibilities include comprehensive logistical and operational support to ensure complete exercise immersion. Key requirements within this scope include the integration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) replication, First-Person View (FPV) kinetic operations, as well as counter-UAS problem sets. The Contractor shall also establish physical mission targets accommodating both simulated small-arms and live-demolition munitions, and coordinate complex prolonged field care (PFC) medical scenarios. To populate the operational environment, the Contractor shall source, manage, and employ capable role-players to act as partner forces, opposition forces (OPFOR), and local populace, directly supporting the rigorous training objectives of the 10th SFG(A).
