MARINE CORPS TACTICS AND OPERATIONS GROUP (MCTOG)

JOINT, EMERGING, AND PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION (POI) SUPPORT SERVICES

VISION

Marine Corps Tactics and Operations Group (MCTOG) is a dynamic and relevant organization that must constantly evolve to meet the operating forces' training requirements necessary to fight and win on the battle fields of today and tomorrow. Simultaneously while delivering this training and education, MCTOG must support the development and refinement of the foundational underpinnings of training-doctrine, mission essential tasks, training and readiness tasks, and the synchronization of Ground Combat Element (GCE) training programs. MCTOG was established on a military, civilian and contractor construct to accomplish assigned mission and tasks. Therefore, to meet the vision, MCTOG requires contractor support for training and education requirements.

To accomplish MCTOG's vision and tasks, MCTOG must design and deliver advanced individual and collective training which includes the ability to immerse the training audience (both individual and staff) in a high fidelity, Joint, Inter agency, Inter-governmental, Multinational (JIIM) real world operational scenario that forces the audience to plan and execute operations across the spectrum from major combat operations, to crisis response and limited contingency operations, which will be driven by program of record command and control systems federated with a variety of simulations. Complimenting this effort is the requirement to provide instruction which includes both formal delivery and over-the-shoulder coach, teach and mentoring.

Training is only as good as the foundation that it is built on, which includes doctrine, mission essential tasks, and training and readiness standards. To ensure the ground combat element has the foundation to support their training needs and drive the design and development of MCTOG's advance training mandates MCTOG specifically is the lead for the development, refinement and review all ground combat element doctrine which includes both internal service doctrine and external service doctrine. Supporting this effort is MCTOG's role in the development and refinement of the ground combat element's individual and collective training and readiness tasks which must be aligned with the doctrine and provide the skills necessary to accomplish assigned mission sets. Both of these requirements require strong analytical and communications skills.

To properly support this training environment and foundation, MCTOG must have a robust command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) capability that can support both the training environment MCTOG creates and the operating environment MCTOG personnel utilizes to execute the mission.

1. INTRODUCTION

This PWS defines the MCTOG Contractor requirements in support of the United States Marine Corps (USMC)

Training and Education Command (TECOM). Throughout this PWS, the MCTOG Contractor is referred to as

“Contractor”.

The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, and non-personal services that are necessary to perform the training support requirements described in this PWS. The Contractor must ensure their work efforts fully support the

MCTOG mission and key tasks. The Contractor is expected to demonstrate a work ethic and the professionalism required to support MCTOG in accomplishing their assigned mission, achieving the visionary goals and the intent of

Operations and Tactics Training Program (OTTP).

This contract is designed to provide MCTOG with a flexible and adaptable support foundation that can be efficiently and effectively utilized to match the unpredictable and emerging requirements MCTOG must be capable of responding to. The uniqueness of this purposefully developed PWS is required to support the needs of MCTOG’s customer-the Marine Corps’ ground combat element operating forces.

1.0. BACKGROUND.

MCTOG was activated on February 6, 2008 to execute the intent and tasks of the GCE OTTP. GCE Commanders are ultimately responsible for the operational readiness of their approved units’ Mission Essential Task List

(METL). The OTTP is specifically designed to support the GCE Commander in the achievement of T1 readiness by providing formalized individual training for specific GCE personnel; providing tailored unit staff training support from the company through regimental level; managing the development and nesting of GCE doctrine; supporting the development and advancement of concepts and innovation; developing a professional training culture throughout the community. This will be accomplished by developing and maintaining programs within MCTOG that are representative, relevant and dynamic in order to meet emerging threats and operational requirements.

The OTTP is comprised of four core pillars, which encapsulates MCTOG’s main and supporting efforts.

o Formal Training Program o Battle Staff Training Program o Doctrine and Training Support o Concept Development and Innovation

1.0.1 Formal Training Program

MCTOG is established as Formal Learning Center (FLC) and is governed by applicable Marine Corps and Training and Education Command Orders in the management and operations of a FLC. MCTOG is currently responsible for six programs of instruction as a FLC.

MCTOG’s main effort is the execution of the Tactical MAGTF Integration Course (TMIC). The TMIC trains and certifies Operations and Tactics Instructors (OTI) and Intelligence Tactics Instructors (ITI) and is one of the pillars upon which MCTOG operates. The TMIC is a formal learning program that is governed byMarine Corps Order

(MCO) 1553.2b and is the umbrella course that includes four service-approved Programs of Instruction (POI).

There are two categories of OTI: OTI-O (Operations Officer) and OTI-C (Operations Chief) each with their own

POI. The training continuum associated with each billet is unique to that billet's skill set as defined by 2500 level individual training and readiness (T&R) tasks contained in Marine Corps Order 3500.108A. OTIs are proponents of standardization and assists the commander in the preparation of the unit for operations through enhanced planning, execution, and assessment skills. OTIs also assist commanders by identifying unit specific training requirements and deficiencies as a result of the evolving operational and threat environment.

There are also two categories of ITI: ITI-O (Intelligence Officer) and ITI-C (Intelligence Chief) each with their own

POI. The training continuum associated with each billet is unique to that billet's skill sets which are defined by the

2500 level individual T&R tasks contained in MCO 3500.108A. ITIs are proponents of intelligence integration, and assist the commander in preparing the unit for operations through intelligence planning and intelligence support.

ITIs also assist commanders with the identification of unit specific training requirements and deficiencies as a result of the evolving operational and threat environment.

OTIs and ITIs are produced through the execution of the TMIC, which MCTOG conducts three times a year, or as required, to meet throughput demands of the operating forces. All GCE Regimental and Battalion Operations

Officers, Operations Chiefs, Intelligence Officers and Intelligence Chiefs are required to be certified prior to being assigned to their respective billets. Upon graduation these key individuals are awarded a Necessary Military

Occupational Specialty (NMOS).

In addition to the TMIC, MCTOG is also charged with conducting two other formal POIs; a) Network Engagement

Staff Course; and b) Unit Readiness Planning Course (URPC). The Network Engagement Staff Course is executed in support of the GCE only. However, URPC is executed in support of the entire Marine Corps.

1.0.1.a Network Engagement Battle Staff Course

The purpose of this program of instruction is to provide training in Network Engagement (NE) in order to enable units to disrupt the network and expand operations beyond those that place improvised explosive devices in targeting the financing, materials, explosives, supplier, and the leadership that comprises a network. NE also trains on supporting friendly networks and influencing neutral networks.

1.0.1.b Unit Readiness Planning Course (URPC)

The URP program not only feeds the advanced training of the OTI and ITI but provides the service a training and education venue for individuals to receive formal training in all aspects of unit readiness planning which is foundational to maintaining a high state of operational readiness and professional development. Direction from

Commanding General (CG) TECOM to develop and implement a formal course of instruction designed to teach

“Unit Training Management” skills to personnel assigned to the FLC and the Operating Forces resulted in the development of the URPC subsequently “piloted” during November 2009. TECOM has initiated the fielding of the

Unit Training Management Module (UTMM) within the Marine Corps Training Information Management System

(MCTIMS). UTMM is the mandated system beginning 1 October 2015 that Marine Corps unit must use to facilitate planning and tracking of individual and unit training for all Marines CG TECOM has assigned the MCTOG with the responsibilities of executing the Unit Readiness Program for the Service. The course will be executed across the

Marine Corps at most all the major bases.

1.0.2 Battle Staff Training Program

This is another pillar of MCTOG, providing Subject Matter Expertise (SME) in support of home station and offsite

GCE Battle Staff Training (BST) requirements developed by the unit commander. BST is MCTOG’s support effort number one. Battle Staff is the continuation of the individual system operator and lower level collective training units obtain from Command and Control Center of Excellence’s (C2TECOE) MAGTF Integrated System Training

Center, and is the method by which MCTOG assists commanders, OTIs, and ITIs in training their units in advanced collective Staff training.

The BST program is nested with the Service’s individual training continuum and other staff training organizations such as Expeditionary Warfare Training Group and Expeditionary Operations Training Group. This design allows

MCTOG to support the commander by providing key resources and GCE SMEs to the unit OTI and ITI by reinforcing and building upon the unit’s capability. MCTOG’s focus is on the regimental, battalion, and company level commander and staff with specific emphasis on Problem Framing, Information Management, Assessment, and integration of non-organic assets and enabler support encountered in the contemporary operating environment. The key resources will include:

a. Academic packages in support of the unit OTIs and ITIs specifically tailored to the unit’s training needs and approved METL.

b. Training venue support offered at home station or at MCTOG’s facilities aboard MCAGCC.

c. Provide Command Post and/or Mission Rehearsal Exercises support tailored to the unit’s approved

METL and anticipated operating environment.

d. OTI/ITI access to a resource library of Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs), best practices, and training resources.

e. The ability for units to integrate service, joint, special operations forces, interagency, intergovernmental and multinational assets.

f. Scenario development that can replicate the unit’s area of operation augmented by high fidelity simulations interfaced with the units command and control systems.

1.0.3 Doctrine & Training Support

This pillar provides for the synchronization of GCE doctrine, T&R tasks and training programs and is MCTOG’s supporting effort number two. In conjunction with the supported commands (MAGTFTC, TECOM, MCCDC/CD&I), synchronize GCE Doctrine, T&R and Training Programs. MCTOG is the critical link between the

GCE Advocate, Stakeholders, supported commands and the means by which the GCE doctrine, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP’s), training standards, curricula, and institutional training programs are established and kept current. MCTOG will serve as the organization of primary responsibility in developing standardized GCE individual and collective capabilities that are linked to doctrine, training and readiness standards, best practices, current TTPs, and emerging requirements. MCTOG will remain engaged in supporting the GCE Advocate through participation in various GCE advocacy venues, symposiums and working groups described below:

a. Ground Board and Operational Advisory Groups (OAGs). MCTOG will provide expertise and advice to the GCE Advocacy Process through their participation in Marine Gunner’s Symposiums, Combined OAG, GCE Conference, Ground Board, as well as the Intelligence OAG and the Marine Corps Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Enterprise.

b. Doctrinal and Warfighting publication reviews, rewrites, and synchronization. MCTOG has been assigned specific doctrinal responsibilities per reference (g) and shall ensure that related supporting doctrine being developed and written by other Marine Corps, joint, all-service, multi-service and NATO organizations is nested and linked.

c. GCE school curriculum and training program reviews. MCTOG will provide review support on key GCE school curriculum and training programs.

d. T&R Manual reviews, rewrites, and synchronization. MCTOG will provide analyst support to

TECOM, MAGTF Standards and Training Division on the development, refinement and review of GCE T&R and other related manuals.

1.0.4 Concept Development and Innovation

As a center of excellence for the GCE, supporting this pillar is an examination of lessons learned; support experimentation; analyze emerging concepts; incorporate best practices; and advocate for rapid and appropriate institutional solutions.

Framing these OTTP pillars are the GCE key stakeholders and an integration process to help achieve the OTTP’s end state: operational excellence and increased interoperability within the MAGTF and with our joint, interagency, intergovernmental, coalition and multinational partners. This framework (see figure 1) is what provides the GCE with a proponent that is optimized to support the GCE unit's preparation for and performance in combat by providing focused, advanced instruction and standardized preparation of key individuals of the battalion and regimental staff across the full spectrum of operations; to directly enhance and positively influence GCE-wide unit training programs and capabilities that support conventional and irregular operations; to assist with the identification and vetting of GCE-specific training requirements and deficiencies as a result of a changing operational and threat environment; and to advocate for rapid and appropriate institutional solutions.

1.1 MISSION

The MCTOG contractor shall support MCTOG, whose mission is to provide advanced individual training to designated operations and intelligence personnel within the GCE, provide advanced collective staff training for the

GCE, manage GCE doctrine and training standard development and refinement, and examine emerging concepts and technology in order to enhance GCE operational readiness and interoperability in support of the Marine Air

Ground Task Force (MAGTF).

To successfully accomplish MCTOG’s mission in context to the requirements of this PWS, MCTOG requires support to produce associated POIs, Master Lesson Files (MLFs), provide instruction, support exercise design and support concept development and innovation; these requirements include construction and maintenance of the TMIC and URP coursework; support to the training exercises for TMIC and the BSTP events and support to concept development and innovation venues.

MCTOG employs Joint SMEs to support the TMIC and BSTP programs through warfighting and enabling functional areas of Information Operations (IO), and Civil Affairs (CA). MCTOG requires program support for IO and CA through SME support to MCTOG, Marine Corps Information Operations Center (MCIOC), and Marine

Corps Civil Military Operations School (MCCMOS) exercises and collaboration for IO and CA program development within MCTOG. The contractor will support URP through development of curricula and media, creation of POI for new courses, participation in Course Content Review Boards (CCRB), and implementing instruction through primary locations and Mobile Training Teams (MTT). This effort is critical to provide advanced and standardized training in Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Operations, Combined Arms Training, and

Unit Readiness Planning at the Battalion and Regimental levels. Additionally, MCTOG requires SME support for the examining lessons learned, supporting experimentation, analyzing emerging concepts, incorporating best practices, and advocating for rapid and appropriate institutional solutions to be applied across the service, joint and

SOF communities. Curriculum and training support products include, but are not limited to: Use of the UTMM within the MCTIMS to facilitate planning and tracking of individual and unit training for all FMF units; and IO and

CA support producing products and instruction that are aligned with USMC and Joint doctrines promulgated by the

MCCMOS and the MCIOC respectively.

URPC - The URP program not only feeds the advanced training of the OTI and ITI but provides the service a training and education venue for individuals to receive formal training in all aspects of unit readiness planning which is foundational to maintaining a high state of operational readiness, and professional development. Direction from CG, TECOM to develop and implement a formal course of instruction designed to teach “Unit Training

Management” skills to personnel assigned to the FLC and the Operating Forces resulted in the development of the

Unit Readiness Planning Course (URPC) subsequently “piloted” during November 2009. The course met with resounding success and has proven to be a tremendous avenue to help commanders and unit leaders achieve high levels of combat readiness via training while conserving extremely limited resources. TECOM has initiated the fielding of the UTMM within the MCTIMS. UTMM will facilitate planning and tracking of individual and unit training for all Marines. This module is being introduced to the operating forces by fielding teams incrementally as operational tempo allows. URPC and UTMM are complimentary efforts. The demand from the Operating Forces for URPC continues to rise based on commander’s desires while the introduction of UTMM itself is generating more requests for URPC. Due to degradation of resources this vital training was temporarily suspended. In order to reestablish this program TECOM has assigned the MCTOG with the responsibilities of executing the Unit Readiness

Planning Program for the Service. Contracted support is required to support development, delivery and maintenance of URPC to the Operating Forces and the personnel assigned to the FLC’s.

2.0. SCOPE. The Contractor shall provide Joint SME support, curriculum development, instructional service support, Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Ground Combat Element (GCE) Command and Control (C2)

Innovation & Experimentation Integration support and MTT support to MCTOG for the conduct of the TMIC, BSTP and URP programs, and in support of concept development and innovation. The scope of this contract includes training exercises for the TMIC and BSTP programs and exercises which may be developed to respond to hostilities or situations where U.S. Armed Forces have been introduced without a declaration of war, or to other contingencies designed to deter aggression or provide humanitarian assistance or disaster response. The scope of the instructional requirements requires contractor personnel with a comprehensive knowledge of the technical fields associated with the training curriculum to provide: 1) development and sustainment of curriculum and 2) delivery of instruction. Contractor personnel shall participate in information and planning meetings; communicate with training centers and schools; and develop or provide input to briefings and reports. All items and or deliverables generated by the Contractor under this PWS, and all associated intellectual property, in whatever form, created, generated, or produced under this PWS shall become the property of the U.S. Government/Marine Corps in accordance with

DFARS 252.227-7020, Rights in Special Works, which will be included in this contract. Modifications which increase the scope of the contract shall be negotiated with the Contractor. This clause constitutes notice to the

Contractor that changes in mission requirements may also result in partial or complete no cost termination for convenience, and such modifications shall not constitute grounds for Contractor claim or request for equitable adjustment.
