C.1. GENERAL

C.1.1. Introduction. The Department of the Army (DA) G 3/5/7 has designated the Mission Training Complex (MTC) as the vehicle for providing collective training and sustainment on Army Mission Command Information Systems (MCiS), the Command-and-Control Warfighting Function (WfF), and the Army’s approach to

Mission Command (MC) using a variety of tools and Army fielded systems. This doctrine outlining the MTC mission is found in the Army’s Training Circular (TC) 6 series. MTC’s supports small unit (Squad through Company), Medium units

(Battalion through Brigade), and large units (Echelons above BDE) in training environments replicating Multidomain Operations. The Army fields digital MCiS to units from platoon through theater level. MTC’s focus on realistic and demanding training. MC focuses our support on a unit’s organizational leadership and supporting staff. MC doctrine requires Commanders and their staffs to issue intent-based orders, which empowers units at every echelon with the freedom to improve and adapt in a complex Operating Environment (OE). Organizational leaders and their staffs must conduct realistic and relevant training, which builds trust within formations that translates to mission accomplishment on the battlefield. Live, Virtual, Constructive, and Gaming (LVC-G) models and simulations are required to create realistic and challenging training events that closely replicate conditions a unit would face on the battlefield.

C.1.2. Objectives. The Contractors shall support individual through collective MC training, WfF training, the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP), Games for

Training (GFT), the Joint Operational Planning Process (JOPP), NATO Operational - Level Planning Process, mission rehearsal, and constructive simulations exercises.

Constructive simulation training exercises include planning, preparation, set-up, execution, and recovery. These training events and exercises may occur concurrently or separately. The Contractor shall assist the Government in providing constructive simulation, GFT resources, and adaptive and responsive training for the individual through echelons above Brigade (EAB). The Contractor shall be capable of combining events into a simultaneous synthetic environment using the simulations and MCiS fielded to MTC. These services support U.S. Army Title 10 training, deployment training events, and Mission Rehearsal Exercises (MRE). These services also support Joint, Combined, NATO, and service component commander, staff and leader constructive simulation training and assistance in executing the

Combatant Commanders’ engagement strategy.

C.1.3. Scope. MTCCS-III is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ), Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). The contract is structured for maximum flexibility in providing for an expedited ordering process to satisfy the needs of customers primarily at the Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands

(ASCC), Army Corps, and Direct Reporting Units (DRU). This contract may be utilized at any MTC or Regional Simulation Center (RSC) location worldwide. Specific regulations, directives, standard operating procedures (SOPs), locations, etc. will be identified at the Task Order (TO) level. MTCCS-III contractor(s) will provide support in the following three primary task areas and five Supporting task Areas:

Primary Task Areas Task 1: Training and Exercise Support

Task 2: Simulation Support Task 3: Cybersecurity and Risk Management Framework (RMF)

Supporting Task Areas Task 4: Plans and Operations

Task 5: Technical Service and Support Task 6: Information management

Task 7: Training environment integration Task 8: Logistics

Supporting task areas are considered integral to supporting the Primary task areas and SHALL NOT be ordered on a stand-alone basis for any task order.

C.1.3.1. Performance Work Statement (PWS). This MATOC PWS conveys the basic scope and performance requirements, however not every task included here will be used in each Task Order (TO); to this effect all tasks in this PWS shall be read to include, “as directed in the TO”. Individual TO PWS will provide the specific tasks and subtasks required by their requiring organization. Specific standards, metrics and assessment measures will be identified in the issued TOs. The general basis for performance standards provided in this PWS will reflect one or more of the following measures for the work to be done:

• Quantity (how much or how often must the service be performed)

• Quality (the required acceptable level of service)

• Timeliness (the timeframe/period for submission/performance).

C.1.3.2. Performance Standards. The performance standards in this MATOC PWS provide the general basis for measuring the performance of each requirement associated with the standard. Where metrics are cited for any general standard, they are used for the purpose of providing examples. Within the context and scope of the MTCCS-III PWS, it is the responsibility of the TO PWS to resolve and clarify the requirements and performance standards gained from the MTCCS PWS. For a given subtask in the MTCCS-III PWS, the absence of performance standards infers that the issuance of the standards will be solely from TO PWS.

C.2.6. Surge Support. At Government discretion, Surge Support may be required to provide services to meet temporary increased training requirements for specific or non-standard training events. The Contractor, together with the COR, determine the most cost-effective way to meet the increased training requirements. The Contractor, at the direction of the COR, shall analyze the training requirement, first determining if the surge support can be met by “flexing” current Contractor personnel hours. If the requirement exceeds the ability of the Contractor to “flex” hours, then the Contractor shall conduct a detailed analysis to determine whether providing overtime to current on-site personnel or bringing in additional “surge” personnel is the most cost-effective way to meet the requirement. For surge support requests that the Contractor is unable to accomplish under the fixed price structure, the Contractor shall present the COR with a detailed Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) and detailed manning document to determine costs to. Performance shall not begin until the COR issues Travel Approval Request (TAR) or provides verbal approval in advance. The COR will determine the period of performance at the time the TARs are exercised.

C.2.7. Reserved.

C.2.8. Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (CMRA).

The Contractor shall input the data into the appropriate CMRA reporting tool, accessed via a secure web site at https://sam.gov. While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, the Contractor shall report all data no later than

October 31 of each calendar year. The Contractor shall enter initial data into the appropriate CMRA tool, filling in all required data fields, to establish the basic contract record no later than 15 working days after receipt of TO award or contract modification incorporating this clause. The Contractor shall notify the COR when the basic contract record has been established in the appropriate CMRA tool.

Contractors may direct technical questions to the sam.gov help desk at https://sam.gov/content/help.

C.3.2. Training and Exercise Support, and Integration.

C.3.2.1. Collective Training. The Contractor shall provide collective training, exercise and integration support, training event design, planning, and constructive simulation support for (but not limited to): Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP), Staff Training Exercise (STX), Field Training Exercise (FTX), Command Post Exercise (CPX), Tactical Exercise without Troops (TEWT), Mission Rehearsal Exercise (MRE or MRX), and Warfighter Exercise (WFX) as defined in FM 7-0, 1151579333.CIV

Comment on Text We need to consider including or rolling in high level language to allow exercise and integration support for CTC rotations. This is most common currently in USARPACs RSC with the JMPRC (JMSC-IP as constructive sim provider) but may become more widespread as the enterprise training environment is fleshed out through modernization. The NGC / NGC2 change training in a way we don’t yet know, so we need to stay as flexible as possible to meet modernization requirements.

1151579333.CIV

We need a hook so the TOs include workload data collection associated with their training events, individual and collective. The Army is moving towards live modeling, which requires that we feed workload into the calculus for programming requirements in the PPBE. Standard training broken apart from non-standard training.
