Performance Work Statement (PWS) Range and Training Programs Division (RTPD) Operational Support Vision Statement

To identify the manpower and expertise required to provide seamless Training Support as it applies to exercise design, control and support.

1. Introduction

The objective of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is greater combat readiness and enhanced operational execution by providing a training continuum which supports planning, preparation, exercise, and assessment capabilities for U.S. Marine units. Training capability requirements describe exercise programs and Modeling and Simulation (M&S) capabilities to meet unit training needs. The Marine Corps Training Environment (MCTE) will be a key component in the development of Fleet Marine Forces as articulated in the 38th Commandant’s Planning Guidance.

1.1 Mission

RTPD provides resource sponsorship and requirements oversight of the MCTE throughout the life-cycle of system training aids, devices, simulators and simulations, live ranges and range instrumentation. Training systems must be developed for interoperability across the MCTE, while supporting operational and institutional, home station, exercise, and deployment training. RTPD identifies, develops, and coordinates the integration of live training systems, with non-standard simulated and virtual training systems in order to provide training capabilities to the Total Force.

RTPD/Synthetic Training Integration and Management (STIM) Branch provides resource sponsorship and requirements oversight of MCTE throughout the life-cycle of system training aids, devices, simulators and simulations, live ranges and range instrumentation. Achieving Department of Defense Training Transformation requires that MCTE training systems be developed for interoperability across the MCTE, while supporting operational and institutional, home station, exercise, and deployment training.

RTPD/Range Training Area Management Branch (RTAMB) RTAMB is responsible for the development and implementation of institutional programs to sustain, upgrade, and modernize Marine Corps training ranges that support the achievement and maintenance of combat readiness. RTAMB is the resource sponsor for institutional range programs and live training systems. RTAM provides for Range and Training Area (RTA) management through a myriad of functions/programs such as range safety, range maintenance/sustainment, range control management/instruction, Force on Force Training Systems (FOFTS), Immersive Training Environments (ITE) and financial support. Tasked with those responsibilities, RTAM executes requirements as derived from numerous Marine Corps Orders and directives that delineate the responsibilities and requirements for range safety and operations.

1.2 Background

Combat readiness is of the utmost importance to the Marine Corps. The Range and Training Programs Division (RTPD) is responsible to the Commanding General, Training & Education Command (TECOM) for the development of the MCTE. The programs RTPD manages are:

· DVTE, a laptop configuration with additional peripherals which host software that allows users to train in decision making through animated avatars, virtually view terrain in 3 dimensions, and operate unmanned aerial vehicles to capture terrain and video. The software application allows users to conduct call for fire, patrol, operate virtual vehicles, etc. in order to increase proficiency of skills associated with their military occupation;

· CACCTUS is a combined arms training system which supports company and battalion teams in decision making associated to fire support and maneuver;

· MTWS is a MAGTF staff training system which provides training scenarios where large forces are maneuvered across a virtual representation of the world.

· ISMT is a marksmanship trainer that support training of small arms and crew-served weapons training;

· SAVT supports the qualification of Joint Terminal Air Controller (JTAC) personnel and supports approximately fifty-nine JTAC controls;

· ODS supports training associated to licensing of personnel in the various vehicles associated to the Marine Corps;

· CCS supports the training of convoy operations, combat and tactical vehicle movement and provides additional training support with dismounting of personnel and weapons engagements;

· CVTS is configured into three separate vehicles M1A1 Tank, AAV, and LAV, which support crew and gunnery skills training as a gateway to live fire trainer; there are also current DUNS in process which will become programs under the non-standard training structure or integrate with current training programs.

As the complexity of training events continues to evolve, training program effectiveness and the capabilities of simulation systems to support and optimize training outcomes becomes an increasingly critical concern. Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) are three interrelated, but distinct processes that gather and evaluate evidence to determine, based on the model or simulation’s intended use, the capabilities, limitations, and performance relative to the real-world objects it simulates. Tailoring VV&A to meet USMC specific requirements and provide a data-based appraisal of simulators and their ability to meet specified training objectives for all RTAM and STIM programs are the support purpose Future efforts in support of LVC-TE Increment I will provide integration of ADVTE, CACCTUS, DVTE, and SAVT for tactical air-ground training.

TEE a year

�Where did this come from?

�Move this to the Mission section above.

�Some of these would be easier to read if you broke them into sections a, b, c,…

�Should this be a report?

�Aren’t the documents described above the deliverables?

�Move TEE into the VV&A support section.

�Move to 3.1.11 JCIDS support task.

�We need to specify all data layers that must be provided, to include elevation, imagery (at what resolutions?), vector data labels (e.g. road, water, bare earth, vegetation). Where do building models go? In this task or in the 3D modeling task?

(will consult with the M&S Officer)

�Are these the right attributes for terrain data? They look a lot like the attributes from the 3D models.

(Great question, I pulled this from the PWS)

�Duplicate

�What about terrain datasets?

�Indicate how many JCIDS packages per year, that is, how many programs per year will be supported.

(I will consult with JCIDS Lead (Russ))

�Update

�What is delivered quarterly?
