MARINE CORPS CIVIL-MILITARY OPERATIONS SCHOOL (MCCMOS)

ACADEMIC SUPPORT

1.0 Scope. The scope of this effort is to provide support to Marine Corps Civil-Military Operations School

(MCCMOS), Weapons Training Battalion (WTBN), Marine Corps Training Command (TRNGCMD), in providing instruction in various subjects required to grant Marines the Civil Affairs Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), as well as to train Marines in Civil Affairs Operations (CAO), Civil-Military Operations (CMO), Stability Operations, G9 Staff actions, Marine Civil Information Management System (MARCIMS), and Stability Assessment Framework

(SAF). This training will be delivered to Marine Corps CA MOS Course and CMO Planner students in order to prepare them to support the Fleet Marine Force (FMF). The training will also be delivered to unit staffs at all levels, from Battalions, Marine Information Groups (MIGs), Civil Affairs Group (CAG) to MAGTF, Joint and Coalition staffs in preparation for conducting CMO, Operations in the Information Environment (OIE), and stability operations. The Contractor will support this effort by providing analysis, instruction, scenario, and background data development, and facilitating services that will enable students to organize, train and lead their CA units, and conduct Civil Affairs Operations and Civil-Military Operations, Stability Operations, and Operations in the

Information Environment (OIE) as an integral part of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO), and

Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE).

2.0 Background. MCCMOS continues to refine each Program of Instruction (POI) for the 0530, 0531 and 0532

MOS Courses as well as the CMO Planner Course (0535), CMO Chief Course (0539), G9 Stability Operations Staff

Course, SAF Mobile Training Team (MTT), and MARCIMS MTT. Fully qualified and credentialed individuals with expertise in these fields are required to perform the necessary instruction, curriculum development, and course maintenance tasks. This performance work statement (PWS) identifies the necessary requirements to provide

MCCMOS with desired instruction, training, course maintenance, and curriculum development support.

2.1 Specific Background. The primary focus of this contract is to provide classroom and in-the-field instruction on

CAO, CMO, and integration with Information Related Capabilities (IRCs) for integration of capabilities within the

OIE. The Contractor will provide resident classroom instruction and augment Mobile Training Teams (MTTs) during MCCMOS-led CA MOS, Stability Operations, CMO Planner, MARCIMS, and SAF instruction. Other business and analytical support includes a review of current CA/CAO/CMO, and IRC-related POIs and Marine

Corps doctrine to identify potential synergies and to synchronize how the Marine Corps plans, organizes, and executes Operations in the Information Environment (OIE).

2.2 Policy. Various United States Marine Corps (USMC), Department of Defense (DoD), and other-service doctrines to which the USMC is a signatory guides USMC policy for CA, CAO, CMO, Stability Operations, and OIE.

2.2.2 Marine Corps Warfighting Publication MCTP 3-03A, Marine Air-Ground Task Force

Civil-Military Operations explains CMO activities and how to plan and execute CMO performed by designated CA or other military forces that establish, maintain, influence, or exploit relationships between military forces and civil partners. CMO are essential to the military instrument to coordinate the integration of military and nonmilitary instruments of national power, particularly in support of Stabilization, OIE, and other complex operational environments. MCTP 3-03A provides a doctrinal foundation of MAGTF CMO and serves as a guide for the commander and his staff. This publication also provides a wealth of information on the broad spectrum of CA activities intended to support CMO on behalf of the FMF. It is very likely CMO will be conducted by a combination of CA forces and other military forces. The MAGTF commander should recognize CA capability and capacity gaps that require the use of other military forces.

2.2.3 Marine Corps Concept for Civil Affairs (2019) complements the ideas presented in the National Defense

Strategy, The Defense Planning Guidance, Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO), Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE), the Marine Corps Functional Concept for Marine Air Ground Task Force

(MAGTF) Fires, The MAGTF Information Operations Concept of Employment, and the United States Marine Corps and United States Special Operations Command Concept for integration, interdependence, and interoperability.

Moreover, CA forces play an important role in accomplishing a 21st century combined arms approach that provides:

Active and Reserve Component Marines organized, manned, trained, educated, equipped, and sustained with the right tools, processes, and understanding to plan and conduct CA Operations (CAO) and Civil-

Military Operations (CMO).

Multi-domain civil perspectives to the MAGTF Commander covering sociological, economic, and political factors of an area of operations (AO).

Converged capabilities through enhanced Geo-Political / Cultural understanding of the Civil Operating

Environment.

Enhanced Unified Action through Interorganizational relationships and partnerships.

Integration of MAGTF plans with Naval, Geographic Combatant Command (GCC), interagency partner

TSC plans, and Department of State (DoS) integrated country strategies.

Interoperable decentralized operations within the assigned area to be influenced.

Understanding the employment of OIE enabled by joint targeting to anticipate and counter adversary unconventional and information warfare approaches.

Ability to exercise functions and authorities normally associated with the host nation (HN) government prior, during or subsequent to military action in time of hostilities or other emergencies.

2.2.4 The following capabilities are required to develop, prepare, and equip Marines and Marine Corps organizations at all echelons to execute the central and supporting ideas of this functional CA concept.

Marine Corps CA forces require:

The ability to provide expertise in emerging local, regional, and transregional threats and to enable interaction and coordination efforts with multiple agencies and partners.

The ability to support CAO planning and coordination at the Marine Forces (MARFOR) for theater and interagency coordination.

The ability to support the functions of MAGTF OIE.

The ability to support Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) CA requirements.

The ability to access flexible funding that supports targeted CAO and CMO.

The ability to access AI for CIM archiving, search, and recommendations, and to provide forward-looking civil information to strengthen human decision-making.

The ability to integrate, correlate, and disseminate civil data derived from MAGTF and Interorganizational resources to joint and combined classified and unclassified networks used for command, control, and decision-making.

The ability to access unmanned surveillance technologies to support CR.

2.2.5 Marine Corps Order (MCO) 1553.2C Marine Corps Formal School Management Policy establishes management policies and procedures for the establishment and operation of Marine Corps Formal Learning Centers.

2.2.6 Department of Defense Directive (DODD) 2000.13 on CA states that the DoD must maintain a capability to conduct a broad range of civil affairs operations necessary to support DoD missions and to meet DoD Component responsibilities to the civilian sector in the operational environment across the conflict continuum. It also tasks each secretary of the military departments to: develop and maintain programs necessary to plan, conduct, and support CA operations to meet their Military Service and Combatant Command requirements; provide for CA personnel in their force structures; and to conduct specialized CA education and individual training for assigned personnel.

2.2.7 Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 3005.05, Stabilization, provides guidance for the planning, training, execution, and oversight of stabilization. Stabilization states (in part): Stabilization is required to translate combat success into lasting strategic gains and achieve the ends for which the military operation was waged.

DoD’s core responsibility during stabilization is to support and reinforce the civilian efforts of the USG lead agencies consistent with available statutory authorities, primarily by providing security, maintaining basic public order, and providing for the immediate needs of the population.

When required to achieve U.S. stabilization objectives, and to the extent authorized by law, DoD will reinforce and complement civilian-led stabilization efforts. Such efforts may include delivering targeted basic services, removing explosive remnants of war, repairing critical infrastructure, and other activities that establish a foundation for the return of displaced people and longer-term development.

Although stabilization is distinct from humanitarian assistance, DoD humanitarian assistance and foreign disaster relief activities may complement USG stabilization efforts.

DoD will ensure Annex G (Civil-Military Operations) and Annex V (Interagency Coordination) are fully developed and integrated in Global Campaign Plans, Concept Plans, and Operations Plans In accordance with Joint Publication 5-0.

DoD components will incorporate stabilization into professional military education and unit training as appropriate, to enable military planners and leaders to plan for and operate effectively in complex stabilization environments.
