PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION AND PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

1.1 General. This is a non-personal services contract to provide mission support of the US Army Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) located at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government. The following provisions shall apply to the performance of work under this contract.

1.2 Introduction. The Contractor shall provide the required personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform JRTC mission support as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The Contractor shall perform in accordance with (IAW) the terms and conditions of the contract and the requirements and standards of this PWS and contract.

1.3 Background. Mission Support services for the JRTC, one of the US Army's Combat Training Centers, entails providing realistic, graduate-level collective training experience at the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) level with the primary objective of training light infantry, air assault, rangers, and other special operations units. Historically, the JRTC has hosted rotational exercises for US Army motorized and mechanized formations, as well as select units from the US Marine Corp, US Navy, or US Air Force. The continuity of JRTC mission support services and provision of a multifaceted functional solution that meets the JRTC, Forces Command (FORSCOM) and Department of Defense (DoD) need is required in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.

1.3.1 Based on the success of training armored and mechanized forces at the National Training Center (NTC) the Army recognized the need for similar training for Light Forces. The JRTC was established to execute the primary mission of training conventional forces, special operations forces, and joint partner units. In 1987, the JRTC began missions at Ft. Chaffee, AR later moving to Ft.

Polk, LA. The JRTC is one of the Army’s premier Combat Training Centers governed by Army Regulation (AR) 350-50 “Combat Training Center Program”.

1.4 Scope. This PWS identifies the mission support requirements of the JRTC and Fort Polk, is intended to be broad in nature and provides the Contractor with information concerning the concept, expectations, and performance requirements of the JRTC’s Mission Support Contract (MSC). The PWS shall be flexible to allow for requirement changes directed by FORSCOM guidance/requirements based on real world activities.

1.4.1 The JRTC provides an advanced unit training environment for FORSCOM, US Army, Pacific (USARPAC), US Army, Special Operations Command (USASOC), US Army Reserve (USAR), National Guard Bureau (NGB), US Marine Corp (USMC), USMC Air, Naval Special Operations Forces (SOF), Naval Air, and US Air Force Air Mobility Command (AMC) and Air Combat Command (ACC) forces.

1.4.2 Rotational Exercises. The JRTC typically hosts ten (10) standard rotational exercises each Fiscal Year (FY) but could surge to 11 based on FORSCOM training calendar and guidance.

Typical standard rotational exercises are designed based on a 14 calendar day training period with 18 calendar days of Live Fires typically starting prior to Force on Force (FOF) and running concurrently during the 14 calendar training days. Contractor shall have the ability to support an accelerated Reception, Staging, Onward, Movement and Integration & Redeployment if requested by Plans Exercise Maneuver Control (PEMC). Rotational training exercises in support of Special Operations Training Development (SOTD) at the JRTC, Fort Polk, LA and National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, CA are typically 22 calendar days in length, not including travel to and from Fort Polk and Fort Irwin. The JRTC will schedule special rotations as required and are typically 21 calendar days to accommodate the addition of a Live Fire (LF) portion concurrent with the 14 calendar day training period. Rotational support may be required as early as R-5 in support of SOF rotational exercise requirements and as early as R-9 in support of conventional forces; these requirements will be identified 30 calendar days prior to execution. During non-rotational months, Contractor shall to provide training to employees to ensure they remain current on land navigation, PWS tasks, scenarios, etc. Training plans will be reviewed and approved by the COR NLT 30 calendar days from start of training (Deliverable 78) .

1.4.2.1 Standard Rotational Exercises. The standard training exercise is scripted and typically based on any combination of offense, defense, and stability operations. Standard rotations take place in a generic region with scenarios and Opposing Forces (OPFOR) threats based on the Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE). Rotational Training Unit (RTU) missions conducted during standard rotations are generally in direct alignment to the RTU’s standard Mission Essential Task List (METL) and training objectives.

1.4.2.2 Special Rotations. Special rotations are an extension of standard rotations in support of real-world missions. The Government reserves the right to re-define special rotations to meet unforeseen future training requirements. The additions will be identified by the Government on a case-by-case basis (driven by FORSCOM training guidance and individual RTU training requirements) and may be in the form of additional role players, cultural role players, extended live fire exercises and additional fire markers support.
