EDUCATION SUPPORT SERVICES

MARINE CORPS UNIVERSITY

1.0. Background.

1.1. The mission of the College of Enlisted Military Education (the Enlisted College) is to provide a continuum of education to improve leadership, sharpen critical and creative thinking skills, and deepen Marines’ understanding of warfighting concepts in distributed and joint environments. The goal is to create ethical, professional leaders who make sound decisions in complex operational situations. Headquartered at Quantico, VA, the Enlisted College is responsible for the quality and integrity of each of the six Staff Noncommissioned Officer Academies (SNCOAs), curriculum, effectiveness of assessments, and coordination of personnel selection and attendance at each SNCOA.

1.2. The Enlisted College relies on successful development and delivery of four newly designed courses to achieve its mission; leadership philosophy, warfighting philosophy, sustaining the transformation, and communication. The communications course is designed to prepare Marines for the application of concepts and techniques necessary to engage in personal and professional communications in all forms. Supporting this effort requires specialized instructional support services based on the vision and intent of the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC).

1.3. The Marine Operating Concept (MOC), Marine Corps Service Strategy (MCSS), CMC Guidance and other seminal concept documents consistently establish the demand signal to improve the content, process and style of enlisted education to more accurately reflect the evolution of enlisted responsibilities in the current and future operating environment. Accordingly, CMC tasked Marine Corps University (MCU) with providing first-class education for enlisted Marines that challenges the status quo and offers a pathway for pursuing higher education.

Acquiring instructional support services for each SNCOA will equip the Enlisted College with experienced, credible professionals required to develop and deliver a comprehensive communications package.

1.4 The Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Instructional Group (MIG) assists all MCU Directorates and

Schools by developing, delivering, and evaluating professional military education in order to improve the critical thinking and adaptability skills that enhance professional competence in leadership, warfighting, and staff abilities.

The MIG facilitates MCU in producing Marine, other service and international students that are MAGTF professionals; prepared to perform with increased effectiveness at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war. The MIG has three active programs, the Senior Enlisted Professional Military Education (SEPME) course, the

Strategy and Policy Course (SPC), and the Reserve Senior Staff Officer Course (RSSC). Recent CMC guidance has increased the demand and frequency of these courses which requires the MIG to increase instructor capacity in various areas to meet the growing focus on Senior SNCO and Officer Education.

1.5 The Leadership Communication Skills Center’s (LCSC) primary mission provides writing support services to students in degree-granting programs: Command and Staff College (CSC), School of Advanced Warfighting

(SAW), and the Marine Corps War College (MCWAR). As an instructional unit within MCU Academic Affairs, the

LCSC provides indirect feedback to student writers to enable them to strengthen their writing skills as they make choices about their writing. To support students’ growth as writers the LCSC produces the MCU Communications

Style Guide, which is reviewed yearly and updated as needed. As the demand from students allows, the LCSC also executes its secondary mission to provide writing support to MCU staff and faculty by providing editorial services for reports and faculty articles

2.0. Scope.

2.1 The United States Marine Corps Training and Education Command, Enlisted College has a requirement for technical and professional services support to execute education technology management services and the communications continuum Sergeants School, Career School, Advanced School, and the Faculty Advisors Course.

The scope of this effort entails technical, analytical, and programmatic support to implement and sustain mission capabilities through execution of critical requirements derived from a comprehensive communications program.

This reinforces the vital importance that is placed on a Marine to learn to communicate effectively – the ability to read, understand, write, speak, sway, defend, and influence – as central pillars of enlisted education and an essential capability Marines will need to act on intent and empower their subordinates in the future operating environment.

2.2 The MIG has a requirement to provide a full range of academic and operational support services for the MIG of

MCU. This support is to be provided at both MCU on Marine Corps Base Quantico. The MIG requires instructors with MAGTF and Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) level experience in order to provide the appropriately level

Marine Corps education and training. MAGTF. The MIG requires faculty assistance with the delivery, development and administration of a wide variety of courses that focus on MAGTF elements and the responsibilities of Senior Enlisted Advisors as a member of the command team. Some examples of these course include classes on the Marine Corps Planning Process, Senior Enlisted roles in Command Climate, and many others to include critical and creative thinking. These are just examples of courses and materials the contractor will assist the MIG in delivering and developing. The contractor will assist the government in not only the delivery of these courses but provide subject matter experts (SME) for the development of new courses, materials and instruction in order to provide first class education to Marines of all ranks. The MIG also requires an instructor with a communication

(English and grammar) background to teach and help in the development of courses.

2.3 The LCSC requires operational support of its mission. The principal support area under this effort includes all aspects of individual writing support for student, staff, and faculty writers face-to-face and via email.
