1) BACKGROUND

a) Commander, United States Fleet Forces Command (USFF) is responsible for coordinating, establishing, and implementing integrated requirements and policies for manning, equipping, and training Fleet units, amphibious ready groups (ARG), expeditionary strike groups (ESG), carrier strike groups (CSG), expeditionary strike forces and independent deployers (ID). These requirements and elements are paramount in the execution of the Optimized Fleet Response Plan (OFRP), in support of and required by United States Navy (USN) policy, and unified commanders.

b) Strategically, the Fleet Deployment Training Program Support (FDTPS) services contract facilitates the certification of Fleet forces (surface, subsurface, air) as mandated by the OFRP. Certification is USFF’s responsibility as delegated by Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) under Title 10 (to organize, train, and equip naval forces) and to provide ready certified naval forces to meet national policy and interests. The three (3) major strategic objectives outlined in this effort include:

(1) Enabling mandatory training of Navy forces in preparation for deployment and assignment to combatant commanders (CCDR)

(2) Producing required Fleet warfighting capabilities and readiness through the execution of the Fleet

Training Continuum (FTC)

(3) Providing an adaptive and responsive training environment reflective of current real-world conditions and challenges faced by deployed forces

c) The FTC provides long-term guidance and policy to provide execution of Fleet training. The FTC specifies the use of the Navy Warfare Training System (NWTS), modeled on the Joint Training System (JTS), as the vehicle to align and focus all training using required operational capabilities (ROCs).

d) The Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) serves as the framework by which units, strike groups (SG), and

ID train and certify for operational readiness. The FRTP is structured around Fleet academics, schoolhouse curriculum/instruction, exportable team training, schoolhouse war-games, networked synthetic/simulation driven exercises, and live, virtual and constructive training.

e) Fleet training programs supporting the OFRP, FTC, and FRTP include, but are not limited to, command functional areas and program support:

(1) USFF- Fleet Deployment Training Program headquarter staff support

(2) Commander Pacific Fleet (CPF)

(3) Commander Second Fleet (C2F)

(4) Commander Third Fleet (C3F)

(5) Commander Seventh Fleet (C7F)

(6) Commander Surface Forces Atlantic (CNSL)

(7) Commander Carrier Strike Group Four (CSG4)

(8) Afloat Training Group Atlantic (ATGL)

(9) Expeditionary Warfare Training Group Atlantic (EWTGL)

(10) Tactical Training Group Atlantic (TTGL)/Tactical Training Group Atlantic - Gallery Hall (TTGL-

GH)/Tactical Training Group Atlantic – Train Hall (TTGL-TH)

(11) Tactical Training Group Pacific (TTGP)

(12) Joint/Partner Nation

(13) Link/Air Defense/Strike Group Interoperability Training/Readiness/GCCS/Training Systems

(SGITR)

(14) Training Assessment and Reporting, NWTS, Quantitative Fleet Feedback (QFF) program, and the Navy Training Information Management System (NTIMS)

f) Large Scale Exercises (LSE) will assess the Fleet’s ability to synchronize global naval operations at the operational-to-tactical level of warfare against our strategic competitors and provide an opportunity to further develop and assess the Navy’s ability to execute Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) and the supporting concepts of Littoral Operations in a Contested Environment (LOCE)/Expeditionary Advanced Basing Operations (EABO).

2) SCOPE

a) This non-personal services contract is to provide the requisite Fleet training program support necessary to facilitate the certification of Fleet forces. USFF accomplishes the training and certification through varying combinations of training program policy, analysis, assessment, academics, instruction, synthetic/virtual events, live events and exercise support. This PWS provides continuous support for USFF training and real-world operations.

b) USFF requires contractor services to assist USFF and associated Fleet commands/activities in execution of pre-deployment and sustainment training within the framework of the FTC, FRTP, OFRP, and joint training requirements/capabilities. This effort will also support various Naval exercise requirements to include LSE and may include some Fleet Battle Problems (FBP). To accomplish this mission USFF manages Fleet training as a program for all activities and commands under the program umbrella.

Although the PWS is broken out by specific command/entity/functional area, the support provided will require cross-utilization and synergy across all supported commands.

3) PLACE OF PERFORMANCE

Building 58 53720 Horizon Drive San Diego, CA 92147

b) Alternate Work Location. Work tasks may be performed at remote locations (telework) by contracted personnel subject to approval by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Ability and specific timeframe for contractor personnel to work remotely will be at the COR’s discretion. The Government reserves the right to rescind this ability to work remotely at any time. Authorization to work remotely shall incur no additional cost to the Government.

4) GENERAL SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS

a) USFF provides program and policy support, develops responses to tasking, inquiries and data queries from within USFF, higher echelon commands and agencies, supporting activities and subordinate activities. The contractor shall support the FDTPS headquarters staff on Fleet and joint training support in the development, formulation and enactment of Fleet training policy and program execution.

(1) Additionally, USFF assesses Fleet / Joint training & certification, force generation (Fg) status, and training wholeness by evaluation of:

(1) Unit level through force level training

(2) Certification programs and policies

(3) Warfare area specific training readiness relative to established mission requirements for cost and risk using common management metrics

(2) Through analysis, USFF is able to provide assessments of the effectiveness and efficiency of Fleet /

Joint training processes to produce readiness of Naval forces (both independent units and composite groups) for deployment and their ability to accomplish worldwide missions and tasks. This involves the development of innovative readiness metrics and their tracking to quantify readiness production effectiveness/efficiency and identify deficiencies and gaps in training for Fleet units or groups.

b) Direct training (e.g., academic, live/virtual/constructive) represents the core requirements of this effort;

however, the capabilities of this contract are not limited to classroom, training events, and exercise support. Indirect training program support including event/exercise assessments, data gathering/analysis, lessons learned, and policy/program support/review are vital to support the primary training mission.

c) Contractor support for some event activities may be on a 24-hour per day basis. The Government will attempt to de-conflict support schedules in sufficient time for the Contractor to manage the workload with a minimum of simultaneous events. Emergent, real-world situations may alter the planned tasks and schedules. Reprioritization of events by the Government to include emergent, unanticipated, surge events will require immediate Contractor adjustment and responses. As such, the contractor will be required to flex and adapt their workforce to the changing environment to meet the mission requirements.

d) Contract support requires personnel that are proficient and current in major warfare areas, mission areas and disciplines. These warfare areas include (but not limited to): Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (C- UAS), Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD), Surface Warfare (SUW), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Strike Warfare (STW), Expeditionary Warfare (EXW), Information Warfare (IW), Command & Control (C2), Coalition Integration, and Intelligence. This support also encompasses Joint Semi- Automated Forces (JSAF) controllers (e.g., friendly, threat, and neutral), Response Cell and other role players (e.g. intelligence, interagency, logistics, nongovernment organizations (NGO), National Security Council (NSC), and foreign government diplomats). Contractor personnel shall have the expertise;

knowledge; understanding; experience; and correct interpretation of applicable guidelines; restrictions; and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) to replicate their assigned responsibilities.

e) Synthetic war-game operators and response cells normally consist of teams of contractors, role players and military personnel trained by their services in military tactics and operations. During the performance of this contract, the contractor will be required to coordinate with, and support multiple commands and DOD agencies in the execution of the training mission.

f) Support of the Fleet Synthetic Training (FST) events (including, FBP, Atlantic Alliance, and LSEs [e.g.

LSE 2025/2027]) currently being executed and planned for the future shall be tailored, i.e., process steps, services and products added, deleted, or modified dependent upon improvements in processes, management or emergent requirements. The Contractor shall execute the range and complexity of tasks, which include an initial planning conference, mid-planning conference, master scenario event list (MSEL) scripting conference, final planning conference (FPC), modeling and simulation (M&S), in-progress reviews (IPRs), academic seminars, event execution, assessment phase, lessons learned collection, and event debriefs. Also included are activities such as site surveys, MSEL, Intelligence support studies and working group, and other planning sessions. As reusable packages and technologies are developed and as the process improvement projects are completed, the amount of effort for each activity should be reduced.

(1) FST faces increasing demand for more training support. It is intended that this increasing demand will be met through improved process management techniques, improved technology, improved use of resources and development of reusable packages to support Fleet training events during the period of the contract to include recommending a process that drops lower priority events. The Contractor shall support this activity by periodically reviewing and assessing activities in terms of both the efficient use of resources and the efficient re-use of products. This does not cover the other elements of tasks not related to specific events such as mobile training team (MTT) or in-resident class schedules. During the course of the contract, FST will introduce new capabilities with the models currently in development. Upgrades to existing models will be used to support the exercises.

(2) Contractor shall support exercises, rehearsals, and training events in combinations that are dictated by dynamic real-world and scheduled training requirements. From initial planning to assessment, an event life cycle may require up to 14 months of calendar time, however the current trend is for shorter periods, typically six (6) to 12 months with an average of eight (8) months. Each event will have its own tailored set of training objectives, participants, and scenario development timeline. Normally, several event life cycles will overlap. The Contractor shall execute the tasks, tailored to the command/activity’s requirements for all required phases rather than a fixed schedule for all events.

(3) The Joint Exercise Control Group (JECG) is normally manned by both Government and contractor personnel. It is a combination of the component control cell, intelligence control cell, MSEL, scripting control cell, threat cell, neutral forces cell, role-playing cells (white cells), after action report (AAR) cell, and simulation technical control cell. The purpose is to control the event by analyzing the training audience play and realistically adjusting the other components of the event to achieve the event training objectives.

g) The FST program encompasses a variety of synthetic events including unit level (FST-U), group commander (FST-GC), joint (FST-J), sustainment (FST-S) as well as synthetic and live LSE series exercises. In addition to FST events, TTGL supports ballistic missile defense exercises (BMDEX) and sea-launched attack missile exercises (SLAMEX). These exercises range from unit to Combined Force Maritime Component Commander level events and provide an appropriate venue for deployment certification for CSGs. TTGL-GH also hosts command and control (C2) components of live (e.g.

composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX)/task force exercise (TFEX)) training events, incorporating shore-side command, control, communications, computers, collaboration, and intelligence (C5I) systems, injecting virtual/constructive entities into underway exercises in order to provide the exercise control group with operationally realistic scenario displays.

h) Atlantic Fleet virtual exercises are distributed via the Navy Continuous Training Environment (NCTE) from facilities located at Chamberlain Hall and Gallery Hall. The Tier II node is comprised of dedicated high-speed networks and the core M&S system known as JSAF. JSAF, combined with other M&S, virtual and live systems and platforms are integrated to generate synthetic war games for real-time training exercises, which are distributed worldwide.

(1) TTGL provides training and certification recommendations for maritime ballistic missile defense

(BMD) operations through regularly scheduled academic courses, a monthly BMDEX program (in coordination with TTGP), BMD-at-Sea events and incorporation of BMDEX events into the FST program. This training consists of classroom instruction combined with staff participation on joint BMD surveillance and engagement operations, encompassing joint BMD system elements, Naval BMD tactical operations, Aegis BMD baseline capabilities and limitations, SM-3 and SM-6 missiles, ballistic missile threats and future BMD capabilities. The BMDEX and BMD-at-SEA events provide a variety of robust scenarios that are representative of BMD operations in forward deployed areas throughout the world. TTGL provides BMDEX training to Atlantic Fleet ships (Norfolk and Mayport) as well as those forward-deployed to Rota, SP. TTGL also provides academic and synthetic training for Aegis ashore teams deploying to Romania and Poland. This training consists of one week of academic training each month, followed by the team’s participation in a BMDEX.

(2) TTGL provides training for Tomahawk operations through regularly scheduled academic courses, a weekly SLAMEX program, on demand Tomahawk land attack missile (TLAM) exercise (TLAMEX) events and incorporation of TLAMEX events into the FST program and COMPTUEX/TFEX. The academic training consists of classroom instruction focused on the warfare commander-level staff officer. Two primary courses provided are Tomahawk Tactical Commander’s Course (TTCC), and Mission Distribution System (MDS) Staff Employment Course (MDS-SEC). TTCC offers a thorough review of Tomahawk TTPs along with the capabilities and the limitations of the different TLAM variants. MDS-SEC provides training in understanding the functions, capabilities, and limitations of the MDS software to support TLAM employment, planning, briefing, exercises and post launch execution (PLE). The SLAMEX and TLAMEX events provide a variety of robust scenarios that are representative of Tomahawk Missile operations in forward deployed areas throughout the world.

(3) TTGL SLAMEX training is an in port or underway exercise designed to train SG staff, ship, and submarine watch-standers in all aspects of cruise missile tactical planning and employment, over the horizon-targeting (OTH-T) / command, control, communication, computer and intelligence (C4I), database management and operation of installed tactical data processors (i.e. GCCS-M, MDS, Tactical Tomahawk weapons control system (TTWCS), combat control system MK I/II, integrated ASW combat system (BSY-1/2) and tactical control system (BYG-1). SLAMEX is a team building exercise for Launch Area Coordinator (LAC) and Firing Unit (FRU) integration, focusing on proper employment procedures. This training is a recurring event scheduled once a week at TTGL and distributed via TLAM training and C4I systems from Train Hall. Other SLAMEX-like training is incorporated into advanced training and exercises such as FST-GC, FST-J, FST-S, COMPTUEX, and Independent Deployer Certification Exercise (ID CERTEX). For all TLAM training, the Contractor shall provide scenario development, exercise planning, execution, and debriefing.

(4) TTGL provides training for Global Command & Control System-Maritime (GCCS-M) operations through regularly scheduled academic courses, Common Tactical Picture (CTP) Managers (CTPM) team training events (normally scheduled during the Warfare Commander’s Conference), mentoring/assessment of CTPM effectiveness during FST events, and MTT visits to underway ships as requested/required.

(5) Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) analyst support covers a myriad of METOC products supporting training from classroom and in-house wargaming, to onsite support during FST.

(6) Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) training is provided by TTGL to support CSG-4 directed at-sea training events as required. Support typically consists of providing vignettes using synthetic (virtual or constructive) entities pushed via JSAF to at-sea ships. Support may range from a single, short-term vignette with one or two entities on a single day to multiple, complex events over a 24/7 timeframe such as the Maneuver Phase of a C2X. The level of effort is dependent on the complexity and duration of the training event.

(7) Academic Training. Tactical-level academic training and education is delivered in person; either as part of a scheduled class, or in a group forum integral to an FRTP event such as a warfare commander’s course. Academic courses are typically conducted at TTGL, but may be conducted at remote sites (e.g. Mayport, FL, Rota, SP, or onboard ships) by MTTs as required/requested.

(8) Doctrine Review. The purpose of Joint, Allied, and Naval doctrine is to direct and enhance the operational effectiveness of military forces. Doctrine consists of fundamental principles and TTPs that guide the employment of military forces in coordinated action toward a common objective. This doctrine is derived from a compilation of lessons learned, best practices, and TTPs which form the basis for the conduct and evolution of Joint, Allied, and Naval training. TTGL provides input to USFF, Navy Warfare Development Center (NWDC), and Air Land Sea Application Center (ALSA) regarding the integration of validated warfighting concepts, proven Joint and Allied capabilities, lessons learned, and best practices. This is accomplished largely through the review of doctrinal publications, but may also include handbooks, pamphlets, other doctrinal research, and correspondence to enhance understanding of a subject area within and throughout the doctrine development community and support to tactical training and education.

i) EWTGL is a formal learning center that is Naval in composition. It facilitates synthetic training events and is currently assigned to instruct 32 resident courses of which 10 of these courses require systems to interface with the NCTE. EWTGL provides instruction to meet both Navy and U.S. Marine Corps requirements for expeditionary warfare training.

(1) EWTGL courses that require the use of systems that operate or interface with the NCTE include: the advanced Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) information operations planner course, intermediate MAGTF information operations practitioner course, ground combat element operations specialist course, and the fire support coordination center (FSCC) course. These systems require technical support to meet enabling learning objectives of the courses of instruction and security-related requirements levied by DOD, other services, and the Navy. Support requirements include pre-training and execution training support to ensure systems are correctly loaded and configured to support students undergoing training to ensure they can successfully access systems operating on the NCTE.

Those systems then perform the functions they are designed to perform in support of the training.

Post-training support would include erasing or saving student accounts, reloading systems and updating systems to meet requirements of future classes. Review of support actions for the purpose of critique, sustainment, improvement, and stowage of materials and systems to meet required command, DOD and joint security regulations. Success in meeting this task would include no training lost due to system failures, or lack of technical support within the scope of this contract.
