PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Survivable Conventional Force Requirements and Technical Analysis of Expeditionary and Combat

Operations for 2d Marine Division (2d MarDiv)

1.0 BACKGROUND. The 2d Marine Division (MarDiv) Headquarters (HQ) Operations section is responsible for planning, coordinating, and supervising a variety of current and future activities for the Division HQ, and all subordinate Regiments and Battalions. In order to effectively do so, a significant amount of effort is required to synchronize all current and future operations across HQ staff functions. The primary guidance for these activities comes from numerous 2d Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF) and 2d MarDiv Commanding General orders and policies, as well as applicable orders and policies from multiple Higher Headquarters levels throughout the Marine

Corps and Department of Defense (DoD). The tasks and deliverables outlined in this Performance Work Statement

(PWS) are instrumental to informing the appropriate decision-making bodies on multiple aspects of mission readiness.

2.0 SCOPE/OBJECTIVES. The objective of this Performance Work Statement (PWS) is to conduct technical research and analysis of force sustainment, training, and integration with other Service, Joint, Agency, and

Coalition forces. This analysis also includes the development of recommendations in order to enhance the survivability of the conventional force (2d MarDiv). The Contractor shall work with entities/stakeholders in addition to 2d MarDiv including II Marine Expeditionary Force (II MEF), 2d Marine Logistics Group (2d MLG), 2d

Marine Aircraft Wing (2d MAW), 2d Marine Expeditionary Brigade (2d MEB), and 2d MarDiv Major Subordinate

Elements (MSE).

3.0 TASKS. The specific tasks described below delineate activities in the context of vulnerability identification, mitigation, and the subsequent increase to survivability of 2d MarDiv personnel and equipment. The tasks expressed in this PWS support the enhanced survivability of the warfighter. The Contractor shall provide reports, briefs, documents, presentations, continuity and crisis action planning, feasibility studies, Mission

Assurance (MA) assessments, and recommended plans to 2d MarDiv. The Contractor will perform the following tasks and will provide the associated deliverables as per paragraph 4.0 of the PWS. The Government will determine the format for deliverables on a task-by-task basis.

3.1 Operations and Planning Analysis. This task, and associated sub-tasks, involves research, analysis and the development of recommendations and reporting regarding Operational Plans (OPLANs), concept development, and naval integration efforts in support of 2d MarDiv G-3 Plans Section.

3.1.1 Conduct vulnerability analysis of 2d MarDiv aligned areas of operations and develop reports, recommended actions, and/or input to OPLANs. Ensure analysis and recommended actions describe reconciliation of 2d MarDiv capabilities with the demands of theater and global campaign plans as published by Marine

Components and current strategic guidance. Prepare these documents to be of sufficient caliber, as determined by the G-3 staff, to facilitate executive level decision making through the three-star level. These documents shall include Red Team and Alternative Futures Analysis methodologies which support Commanding General decision making by providing alternative Courses of Action and perspectives and identifying opportunities to mitigate risk and associated fiscal requirements. This analytical support to 2d MarDiv senior leaders will prepare them for Service executive decision-making bodies such as the Ground Board, Executive Off-Site, and General Officer Summit.

Conduct analysis and develop recommendations regarding future plans methodologies and processes to enhance plan’s quality for the 2d MarDiv G-3. Develop and deliver tailored training to 2d MarDiv G-3 and Staff to provide them with key critical thinking and operational analysis skills to enhance their ability to inform the commander with operational planning products (PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, briefs and e-mail coordination).

3.1.2 Conduct analysis and develop recommended conventional force survivability- and lethality-enhancing concepts, capabilities, technologies, and solutions. Analyze strategic and long-range plans and operational concepts regarding 2d MarDiv employment and develop analysis and reports to improve plans, concepts, and fiscal assessment for an overall Division Development Program in line with the Commanding General’s Mission Training

Plan and guidance. Provide recommendations to 2d MarDiv regarding effectively balancing operational requirements against available and limited resources by analyzing the impact of budget, material readiness, and manpower availability against necessary training to enhance survivability and complete all Mission Essential Tasks

(METs). This analysis will increase efficiency of training and employment, thereby maximizing survivability of forces once deployed. Identify emerging Science and Technology innovations and any survivability technology infusion issues while analyzing the increase in functional capabilities to the military end user provided by the underlying technology. Provide analysis of the integration of existing and future Live-Virtual-Constructive Training

Environment (LVC-TE) initiatives. These initiatives can enhance and augment live training as well as provide efficient means to maintain readiness and survivability in a fiscally austere environment.

3.1.3 Conduct functional analyses and develop products that mitigate vulnerabilities. Products shall include reports that detail prototype technologies recommendations regarding the execution of 2d MarDiv operational planning, effectiveness, and readiness, which align to Theater campaign plans and joint exercises, various contingency plans, Operational Plans, Marine Corps Force Management Plan, and II MEF Annual Training

Guidance and the 2d MarDiv Campaign Plan. Develop these products according to Marine Corps Planning Process

Doctrine; events and milestones shall be captured in 2d MarDiv Training and Exercise Employment Plans (TEEP), which best posture 2d MarDiv for sustained warfighting readiness, enhanced survivability, and improved mission accomplishment and also published in a quarterly Fragmentary Order.

3.1.4 Conduct analysis and develop recommendations regarding 2d MarDiv aligning its efforts to Man, Train, and Equip its forces according to Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) and Higher Headquarters (HHQ) requirements balanced against current capabilities and readiness of the units sourced against these requirements.

Develop survivability and vulnerability-based recommendations to conventional force feasibility which provide 2d

MarDiv decision makers with responsive and accurate insight into key readiness elements such as personnel, supply, readiness, and training. These recommendations, which support rapid deployment, are critical to combat effectiveness and will ultimately minimize the Operating Forces (OPFOR) mission.

3.1.5 Conduct analysis on operational plans, concept development, and naval integration efforts in support of 2d

MarDiv Plans Section.

3.1.6 Assist the 2d MarDiv Plans Officer with Operational Planning Teams during Division exercises, contingencies, and other planning initiatives as directed.
