PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Performance Work Statement

1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division Advanced Parachuting Instruction Training Request

1. BACKGROUND. Advanced High-Altitude High-Opening (HAHO) parachute insertion capability has been a requirement for all departing west coast Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs) to include the 31st MEU for the past five years. This course is a United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) equivalent; increasing 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 or the ability to create them. In both cases, units’ only recourse is to contract private companies in order to develop this high demand capability. HAHO capabilities have become more relevant in the past ten years with the proliferation of advanced anti-access 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 of Joint Operations presents a force protection issue that can be mitigated by offset HAHO/ Special Insertion/Extraction (SPIE) methods. 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. By building on the foundations of basic Military Freefall (MFF) skills through the conduct of an advanced HAHO training package, risk of jumper injury will be reduced through detailed class instruction, ground practical application, and execution in a realistic training environment.

1. SCOPE. Company B (Co B), 1st Reconnaissance Battalion and Force Reconnaissance Company, I Marine Expeditionary Force (I MEF) is in need of advanced insert training in support of training directives MCO 3502.3B and AMHS DTG 1141309ZJUL15. The period of instruction shall build upon current resident MMF capabilities in advanced Category 3 HAHO insert capability to support the 15th MEU Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and I MEF contingency-response operations.
