DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
1.1 Mission Requirements. The USAF Expeditionary Center’s Expeditionary Operations School (EOS) is responsible to provide pre-deployment training to approximately 6,000 personnel each year that will directly support various Overseas Contingency Operations to include but not limited to Operation: RESOLUTE SUPPORT, INHERENT RESOLVE, and UNITED ASSISTANCE.
The EOS requires contractor support as contingency skills instructors, Opposing Forces, and Role Players to augment its existing cadre of military instructors.
1.1.1 Fieldcraft Defined: Fieldcraft training, as defined within this PWS and under the EOS concept of operations, refers to all ground focused, expeditionary and contingency skills required to survive and operate within a combat zone, hostile or austere environment (predominantly out of garrison mission sets). These general ground combat and lifesaving skills are required to ensure personnel are fully equipped to effectively, efficiently, and safely execute assigned missions.
Qualified contract instructors will be authorized to conduct Fieldcraft instructor duties in more than one area of instruction to include, but not limited to:
1.1.1.1 Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED)
1.1.1.2 Convoy Operations
1.1.1.3 Dismounted/Urban Tactics
1.1.1.4 Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)
1.1.1.5 Advanced Life Saving Skills
1.1.1.6 High Threat Driving Techniques
1.1.1.7 Weapons Sustainment.
1.1.1.8 Vehicle Rollover/Egress.
1.1.1.9 Self-Protection Fundamentals
1.1.1.10 Basic Communications
1.1.1.11 Map Reading and Basic Land Navigation
1.1.1.12 Tactical Movement
1.1.1.13 Active Shooter/Insider Threat
1.1.1.14 Bare Base Operations
1.1.1.15 Opposing Forces (OPFOR) and Role Players
UNote:U The scheduled requirements identified in the Performance Work Statement may require modification as training classes change to meet emerging requirements and training needs. Changes may include adjustment of training hours, acceleration of classes, changes to syllabus, increase in class size and frequency, and other modifications as necessary to ensure training is conducted safely and remains relevant to the current threat to deployed service members.
1.2 Requiring Agency.
DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE
AIR MOBILITY COMMAND
USAF EXPEDITIONARY CENTER
JOINT BASE MCGUIRE DIX LAKEHURST, NEW JERSEY
UNCLASSIFIED Page 5
1.3 Background. The USAF EOS is the Air Force Expeditionary Combat Support Center of Excellence dedicated to educate, train and exercise expeditionary combat support personnel in deployed operations. The USAF EOS is responsible for developing and conducting Fieldcraft courses. U.S. forces must be able to provide a rapid response to a variety of geopolitical climates.
Part of that response must include training personnel to operate in a full spectrum of conflict. The goal of Fieldcraft is to provide classroom instruction and field training to exercise the knowledge and skills required to survive and operate in the ongoing major efforts in the contingency operations spectrum.
1.4 Objective. Acquire contractor contingency skills instructors, OPFOR and Role Player support personnel for USAF EOS Fieldcraft courses at the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ.
Contractors will work with military personnel and other contractors to prepare for, reconstitute, execute, and instruct USAF EOS Fieldcraft courses. Support functions for Fieldcraft training and/or exercise support include classroom instruction, field/range instruction/application, tactical exercise support assistance, and logistics functions arising from the aforementioned. The USAF will provide the contractor all course material, such as lesson plans and presentation materials.
1.5 Scope of Work. The contractor shall employ professional, technically qualified personnel who possess the necessary experience in a variety requirements identified below and meet or exceed the general requirements and specific requirements based on expertise. The contractor will be responsible for teaching 150 students a day at an Instructor to Student Ratio (ISR) of 2:15 or ratio of similar instructional output. World events and new training requirements may increase the requirement to up to 480 students at a 2:15 ISR or ratio of similar instructional output. While ISRs may vary from one lesson to another, the requirement can best be conceptualized as the number of instructors required to instruct a given number of students at a 2:15 ISR. For example, at the steady state requirement of 150 students it would require 20 Instructors. Should the number of students required to be taught increase by 15, an additional 2 instructors would be required. Fieldcraft courses run approximately 220 days out of the year in varying degrees of student throughput. A minimum of 6 weeks notice will be provided in the event the government plans to increase student throughput by 75 students or less.
For each additional increase of 75 or less, an additional 4 weeks notice will be provided. Once options are executed and in the event that the class size decreases, the contractor may be notified to reduce the number of instructors required to teach courses due to a reduction in student production requirements. This notice will be provided prior to execution of contract option periods. All instructor CLINs will be executed for a minimum of 6 months if used. Government will execute Role Player/OPFOR CLINs as needed, notification will occur a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to start of class.
1.5.1. General course descriptions are as follows:
• “Hostile” type courses are designed to prepare students for operations in known hostile environments and/or combat zones where Service Members are expected to be armed and routinely wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Courses are approximately two (2) weeks long.
• “Uncertain” courses are designed to prepare students for operations in semi-austere, possibly hostile, but non-combat and uncertain environments, where Service Members are typically unarmed and do not routinely wear PPE (although weapons/PPE may be available).
Courses are approximately two (2) weeks long.
UNCLASSIFIED Page 6
• “Specialized” courses are designed for expeditionary or standing force Air Advisors or other unique career fields (e.g., Fieldcraft Judge Advocate General, Fieldcraft Mobility Support Advisory Squadron (MSAS), Fieldcraft Chaplain Corps) who may operate in any of the above operating environments. Courses are approximately one (1) to six (6) weeks long.
Air Advisor Academic Training is conducted under a separate contract.
