This mission requires a Special Forces Operational Detachment - Golf (SFOD-G) to have the ability to effectively observe, gather information, report information, analyze data, develop target packets, provide options to Theater or Combatant Commanders, and coordinate operations based on DoD and Interagency standards.

Charlie Company trains specialized operators, known as “Jedburghs” or “Jeds,” that currently operate with allied partners in support of contingency operations abroad. Critical infrastructure targeting is a core functionality of the Jedburgh mission. Directives from 1st Special Forces Command (1SFC) dictate that all members of the team require a high level of infrastructure targeting training. This additional training and credentialing is known as a “J4” additional skill identifier (ASI) and can be conducted through vendor-provided training; requirements are outlined in 1SFC regulation 350-1 and J4 credentialing procedures.

1.3 Objectives: The objective of this contract is to provide operators with critical infrastructure targeting qualifications as outlined by 1SFC credentialing procedures and 1SFC Regulation 350-1. The vendor provides a course of instruction (COI) encompassing the critical infrastructure targeting training, which addresses infrastructure assessments and analysis, CARVER (Critically, Accessibility, Recuperability, Vulnerability, Effect, Recognizability) analysis, joint targeting process, planning considerations for sabotage operations in denied areas, the interagency operations coordination process, and Intelligence Information Reports.

1.4 Scope: Types of services to be performed are as follows: Provide expert instruction for up to 10 students and up to 12 days 04-15 MAY 2026 from former members of US Special Forces, civilian or government US law enforcement, private investigators with experience working with infrastructure experts, and experts from the intelligence community to conduct critical infrastructure analysis and assessment for planning considerations in support of joint military operations. The Critical Infrastructure Targeting Training scope of practice and the critical skills are outlined in Annex A of the 1st Special Forces Command (1SFC) J4 Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) credentialing procedures. The Course of Instruction (COI) will cover the full range of competencies associated with critical infrastructure targeting, including infrastructure assessment and analysis, CARVER (Criticality, Accessibility, Recuperability, Vulnerability, Effect, Recognizability) methodology, the joint targeting process, planning considerations for operations in denied environments, interagency coordination procedures, and the preparation of Intelligence Information Reports. The desired outcome is for all participating operators to demonstrate proficiency in the skills and knowledge areas identified in Annex A of the 1SFC J4 ASI credentialing procedures, as established in 1SFC Policy 011-23 and 1SFC Regulation 350-1. Critical infrastructure subject matter expert training includes working with infrastructure industry partners in the Colorado Springs, Denver, and Pueblo areas.
