PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement for

Doctrinal Revision Of The Marine Corps Reference Publication (mcrp) 3-01b Pistol

1. Scope. Marksmanship Program Marksmanship Section (MPMS), Weapons Training Battalion (WTBn), Quantico VA has a primary responsibility to research, develop, and implement new marksmanship training, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). As TTPs are updated and created, they are captured and promulgated across the Marine Corps through various official Marine Corps correspondence and orders. Marine Corps Reference Publication (MCRP) 3-01B, Pistol Marksmanship was last updated in November, 2003. Since that time, the Marine Corps has shifted from the Entry Level Pistol (ELP) to a brand new training program for pistol instruction and qualification, the Combat Pistol Program (CPP). The doctrine and theory within MCRP 3-01B, is no longer relevant and cannot serve as the doctrinal reference for all Marine Corps Pistol Procedures. As a result, the 114 page MCRP 3-01B, with pictorial training aids, must be updated in order to provide a current reference for Marine Corps Marksmanship Training Units and Pistol Coaches to cite and reference when instructing.

2. Background. As the Marine Corps proponent for all facets related to marksmanship, Weapons Training Battalion is constantly evaluating, testing, and improving marksmanship to ensure that the best training and equipment is available to all Marines. As the facilitator and steward of the annual Marine Corps Marksmanship Symposium, WTBn is responsible for the monitoring of and progress of Marine Corps marksmanship shortfalls that were identified at the symposium. The lack of an updated MCRP 3-01B was a clearly identified training shortfall across the Marine Corps Forces and as such, WTBn has the sole responsibility to ensure that an updated MCRP 3-01B is signed by the Commanding General of Marine Corps Combat Development Center (MCCDC).

3.5. Performance Requirements. Performance will be evaluated via command review of the MCRP 3-01B, provided by three Commanding General’s offices. If the revised MCRP does not meet Naval Letter Format standards and/or fails to outline the necessary instruction for CPP, the MCRP will be sent back to the contractor with corrections for follow-up action.

3.6. Contractor shall ensure 100% grammatical and formatting accuracy of the revised MCRP 3-01B.

3.7. Contractor must be versed in taking professional photos of Marine shooters staged in the correct shooting position. These pictorial training aids will be used within the MCRP 3-01B to assist with the learning process and will reflect unambiguous shooting positions.
