PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT (PWS)

FOREIGN ADVERSARY AIRCRAFT SUPPORT

TO MARINE AIR GROUND TASK FORCE TRAINING COMMAND (MAGTF TC) AT MARINE

CORPS AIR GROUND COMBAT CENTER, TWENTYNINE PALMS, CA

1.0 INTRODUCTION

MAGTFTC is the United States Marine Corps premiere Service Level Training venue. MAGTFTC provides advanced collective training, almost all in a live fire combined arms training environment, to the majority of

USMC units prior to their deployment overseas. MAGTFTC provides support to five (5) Integrated Training

Exercises (ITX) annually, located at Twentynine Palms, up to five (5) Mountain Training Exercises (MTX) annually, located at Bridgeport California, and up to two (2) Talon Exercises (TALONEX) at Yuma and

Twentynine Palms (executed concurrently with the twice annual WTI course). All MAGTFTC training utilizes the MAGTF as the basic training unit, usually comprised of battalion and squadron sized units.

MAGTFTC is an accredited program as part of the Joint National Training Capability (JNTC) program, so this training is also provided to joint and coalition forces during many of the events.

MAGTFTC service level training events are mandated through MCO 3500.11F, MAGTF Training Program.

While each exercise has its own unique features, the training environment is largely live fire (MTX is largely non-live fire). Each exercise emphasizes integrated training between all facets of the MAGTF (aviation, ground, logistics and command).

ITX is a 29 day exercise that utilizes a crawl, walk, run methodology, exercising Offensive, Defensive and

Stability Operations METs. The vast majority of this exercise is in a live fire combined arms environment, integrating air and ground fires. In the exercise, MAGTFTC presents both friendly and enemy combat capabilities. ITX also has a considerable portion done in a Force on Force Urban setting.

MTX is a 28 day exercise conducted 5 times per year at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center, located near Bridgeport California. MTX is focused on the same METs, however the training environment is either arduous terrain, both in ruggedness and altitude or cold weather.

TALONEX is 5 week exercise that is executed concurrently with WTI. Parts of the exercise are executed at

Yuma and portions are conducted at Twentynine Palms. TALONEX utilizes both a live and non-live fire training environment and offers the greatest flexibility in the exact training the exercise force conducts.

2.0 SCOPE

The scope of this effort is to provide familiarization of flight characteristics, capabilities and limitations of the foreign adversary rotary-wing and propeller driven aircraft to MAGTFTC personnel and members of each exercise force. This will be accomplished by having accessibility to two foreign adversary contractor-provided aircrafts that shall participate in certain exercise events as part of a realistic opposing force.

In the exercise of this authority, the Commanding

Officer, or his designated representative, may refuse to grant personal entry passes or may bar Contractor employees, including employees who have been granted a personal entry pass. Refusal to grant an employee a personal entry pass or barment of an employee does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to continue performance under this contract. The Contractor’s employees shall observe and comply with all base rules and regulations applicable to contract personnel, including those applicable to the safe operation of vehicles, and shall not be present in locations not required for the proper performance of this contract. Then only exception to posted speed limits is passing troops in formation where the speed shall be reduced to 10 miles per hour. Troops in formation have the right-of way over all vehicular traffic.
