About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document pertaining to active threat response training for the United States Marine Corps (USMC) at Marine Barracks Washington (MBW). The document addresses 11 inquiries from prospective contractors regarding training logistics, equipment, and facility requirements.
Key operational details include: training will focus on paired response teams and fireteam (4-Marine) responses with coordination protocols for larger element linkups; Marines will respond with M18 handguns, M1018 shotguns, or M4 rifles; the USMC will provide blank ammunition and blank firing adapters with advance notice for ordering; available dummy weapons include one red dummy shotgun, 29 red dummy handguns, and 19 blue dummy tasers; the USMC cannot provide MCTIS or MILES gear systems. Facility and logistical considerations include: two available classrooms capable of accommodating 65 students each with TV or projector capabilities; no dining facilities for civilians, though nearby restaurants are available; equipment storage in locked rooms or secured trucks/trailers is possible depending on quantity; blank ammunition has no noise restrictions, but sustained gunfire volume requires advance notification to area residents and the Metropolitan Police Department. Training will focus exclusively on breaching closed doors for entries during active threat scenarios, not mechanical breaching of windows or structural elements. A USMC-trained Range Safety Officer is technically required for blank ammunition use; nearly all Guard company staff officers are RSO certified and will be present during training evolutions.

Questions and Answers
1) What size elements would typically respond to an incident? Size of smallest element? Need to determine if we include training for solo response, paired response, or just groups of 4 or more.
Depends on the location of the incident, but most of the elements would be conducting a paired response. The goal would be to train for a paired response, fireteam response (4 Marines), and ultimately how to coordinate once multiple of those elements link up.
2) What types of weapons would they be responding with? Types of handguns, rifles, shotguns, less lethal, crew served weapons?
Marines will be responding with one of three weapons depending on which Marines first respond: M18, M1018 Shotgun, or M4 Rifle.
3) Will the USMC provide blank ammunition and blank adapters for the types of weapons that would be deployed for this training?
Yes; we would just need to know the allotment well ahead of time to be able to place the order. Blank firing adapters (BFAs) we have on hand.
4) Does the USMC have dummy weapons (red guns) available for training? What quantity and type?
We have (1) red dummy shotgun, (29) red dummy handguns, and (19) blue dummy tasers.
5) Can the USMC provide Marine Corps Tactical Instrumentation System (MCTIS), or an older version of force-on-force laser tag type systems (MILES gear)?
No.
6) Are there any noise restrictions for firing blanks or gunshot simulators on MBW?
For blanks, no restrictions. If it is going to be the volume of actual sustained gunfire or louder, we will need to notify the residents who live around Marine Barracks Washington as well as the Metropolitan Police Department.
7) Can vendor training equipment be stored securely on MBW overnight? Locked room, or the ability to leave a locked truck or trailer on location for the duration or training?
Depends on the amount of equipment. If it can fit in a small room, yes. We can also organize parking to be able to park a locked truck or trailer.

8) What size classrooms are available? Can they hold all 65 students at a time? Is there a large screen TV or projector and screen available for use in the classrooms?
We have two options for classrooms, both of which can hold 65 students and have either a TV or projector.
9) Are there any dining facilities on MBW available to the contractors providing training?
No dining facilities on MBW besides the chow hall, however it is not open to civilians on a regular basis. However, there are many restaurants in the vicinity of MBW.
10) Are you looking for mechanical breaching of doors or windows with breaching tools, or just breaching closed doors for entries?
For this training evolution, only looking for breaching closed doors for entries during an active threat scenario.
11) Is a USMC trained Range Safety Officer (RSO) required if we are using blank ammunition? If so, can the USMC provide us with one?
Technically yes; almost all of the Guard company Staff Non- Commissioned/Commissioned officers are RSO certified and will be present during the training evolution.
