STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this contract service is to provide a training staff and training materials to PRP Company in support of Northern Strike-22.2, aboard Camp Grayling, MI.

2.0 BACKGROUND

PRP Company is the only Marine Corps Mortuary Affairs Company, requiring specialized training.

Contrac�ng these services provides the opportunity for the PRP to execute realis�c training for their mission essen�al tasks. Available military provided training can only provide so much in the realm of casual�es, relying on live persons ac�ng as casual�es, or dummies; both of which provide limited prepara�on before it becomes repe��ve and reduces in training value. The use of cadavers, also referred to as Non-Transplantable Anatomical Media (NAM), for training immediately and measurably increases any training value that is provided to mortuary affairs Marines ul�mately preparing them for combat missions and increasing the experience level without overseas combat experience. This is the closest training available to a live scenario and may be the only experience the Marines have with realis�c casual�es before a deployment.
