PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement Alpha Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division

Advanced Parachuting Instruction Training Request

1. BACKGROUND. Advanced HAHO capability has been a requirement for all departing west coast Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) to include the 31st MEU for the past 5 years. This course is a SOCOM equivalent; it increases the ability of the MAGTF to conduct interoperability with joint/SOCOM units. Due to the inability to attain seats to the SOCOM run Advanced Tactical Infiltration Course (ATIC), USMC Reconnaissance units are required to outsource to ATIC equivalent contractor companies. USMC Reconnaissance Units do not have the qualified instructors organic to their units nor the ability to create them. In both cases, units only recourse is to contract private companies in order to develop this high demand capability. High Altitude High Opening capabilities have become more relevant in the past ten years with the proliferation of advanced technologies, the increase of near-peer adversaries and the development of terrorist and hybrid networks operating in a wide range of tactical environments and geographical locations. Additionally, the requirement to conduct ground reconnaissance during phase-0 to phase-4 presents a force protection issue that can be mitigated by offset HAHO/SPIE. The ability to insert teams without detection reduces risk to mission and risk to the force. This training will enhance survivability, lethality, and increase value in missions for MEUs. Conducting a DBSL MTT builds an insert qualification, but the basic-level (DBSL) training objectives do not build a true standoff capability. By conducting the subsequent advanced HAHO training, risk of jumper injury will be reduced through detailed class instruction, ground practical application, and execution in a realistic training environment.

2. SCOPE. Alpha Company (Co A), 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I MEF is in need of advance insert training in support of MCO 3502.3B and AMHS DTG 1141309ZJUL15. There are two consecutive periods of instructions to meet specific mission requirements. Period one shall be the utilization of a TECOM supported Airborne Mobile Training Tram (AMTT) with a two-team double bag static line (DBSL) capability. Period two shall build upon period one’s DBSL capability and provide a High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) advance insert capability to the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEUI).
