INTRODUCTION

1.1 Mission

1.1.1 Agency’s Mission. U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) is responsible for coordinating, establishing, and implementing integrated requirements and policies for manning, equipping, and training Atlantic and Pacific fleet units, Strike Groups (SG), and Strike Forces (SF) in the execution of the Fleet Response Plan (FRP) in support of and as required by Navy policy, U.S. Joint Forces Command, and unified commanders.

1.1.2 The Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) was instituted specific to USFF’s fleet training mission and serves as the framework in which units, SG(s), and SF(s) are trained and certified in operational readiness. The tenets of the training mission rely on the formation of fleet training policy and directives to implement the FRP ensuring efficient use of resources, time, and personnel to attain the required level of readiness. The FRTP is structured around fleet school-house curriculum / instruction, exportable team training, schoolhouse wargames, networked synthetic / simulation driven exercises, and live training.

1.2 Background and Objective

1.2.1 Background. The Chief of Naval Operations established the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) on 1 October 2005. NECC formally stood up on 13 January 2006, as a Functional Commander for shore-based expeditionary type forces within the Navy. Its mission is to man, train, and equip naval forces to operate in an integrated fashion; to provide a secure environment for forces and logistics to flow ashore from the sea base; to support naval and joint combat forces with explosive ordnance disposal, combat engineering and construction; inland waterway operations; force protection and anti-terrorism; and to develop the capability of assigned forces to extend Joint Forces Maritime Component Commander (JFMCC) Domain Awareness into the riparian environment.

1.2.1.1 A primary NECC effort, the Expeditionary Combat Skills Training Continuum (ECSTC) mandates a basic force protection small arms training qualification per OPNAVINST 3591(Series) and NECCINST 3591 (Draft).

ACCESS TO DoD IT SYSTEMS

In accordance with SECNAV M-5510.30, contract employees who require access to DoN or DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions that require access to information protected under the Privacy Act, to include Protected Health Information (PHI). All contract employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT-II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity’s Command Information Assurance Manager. Contract employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, when specified by the terms of the contract, require an SSBI, which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC) described below. Due to the privileged system access, an SSBI suitable for high-risk public trust positions is required. Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring or administration functions; e.g., system administrator or database administrator, require training and certification to Information Assurance Technical Level 1 and must be trained and certified on the operating system or computing environment they are required to maintain.

Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of contract employees, such employees shall in-process with the Command Security Manager and Information Assurance Manager upon arrival and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the employee’s performance under the contract. Completion and approval of a System Authorization Access Request Navy (SAAR-N) form is required for all individuals accessing Navy IT resources. The decision to authorize access to a government IT system/network is inherently governmental. The contract supervisor is not authorized to sign a SAAR-N; therefore, a Government employee with knowledge of the system/network access required or the COR shall sign the SAAR-N as the “supervisor.”
