It incorporates interagency support, which provides spectrum analysis and crucial data points for the team’s EW signature in a denied environment. The training allows for experimentation on aspects of mesh networks and non-standard communication to further develop MDO SOPs. Ultimately, this training serves to increase survivability and lethality on the battlefield.

1.3 Objectives: 1) Evasive Driving Skills 2) Vehicle Rollover Drills 3) Tactical Off-Road Driving Skills

1.4 Scope: Types of services to be performed are as follows: Expert instruction from contracted instructors, Vehicle characteristics overview and maintenance, Safety procedures, Vehicle loadout plans, Tactical route planning and terrain analysis, Tactical convoy communication SOPs, Precision driving techniques, Vehicle navigation in multiple terrain types, and Basic and advanced vehicle recovery methods.

Expert Instruction from Contracted Instructors: Contracted Instructors are trained and certified in all aspects of basic and off driving techniques and procedures. Instructors utilize a wide range of course types to fit the need of the end user based on competence and capability levels. Many instructors have served in SOF prior to instructing and can therefore provide a better understanding to SOF customers and real-world experience.

Vehicle Characteristics Overview and Maintenance: Provide and in-depth class on general mechanical equipment as well as vehicle capabilities on a wide variety of vehicles to include non-standard off road 4x4 vehicles and can provide instruction and capabilities with some SOF military off road vehicles. Classes on maintenance of vehicles is also conducted to ensure the best possible effectiveness and survivability of vehicles in rigorous environments and conditions. Vehicle characteristics, capabilities, and maintenance are discussed throughout the duration of the training.

Safety Procedures: Safety procedures are discussed in-depth prior to driving any of the vehicles. Safety procedures are discussed regarding the driver such as rollover procedures, brake failure, failed hill procedures. Truck commander (TC) and spotter safety is also discussed for correct spotter placement during terrain negotiation, hand and arm signals, etc.

Vehicle Loadout Plans: Vehicle loadout plans are discussed to ensure safety during movement, and best practices for securing cargo and weight distribution.

Tactical Route Planning and Terrain Analysis: Tactical route planning and terrain analysis is another part of the training which is integral to the development of SOPs for the customer. Short-range and long-range movement planning and terrain analysis is conducted throughout the training. Terrain analysis and spotter development is a key aspect of training to ensure the best routes are taken through rigorous terrain as well as obstacle negotiation.

Tactical Convoy Communication SOPs: The course provides ample instruction, techniques and time to develop and refine communication SOPs. Radios and batteries are provided by the contractors. Communication during convoy operations, as well as driver-spotter communication during terrain and obstacle negotiation are practiced through the duration of the course.

Precision Driving Techniques: Precision driving while negotiating multiple types of terrain is conducted throughout the course. Basic precision driving techniques are conducted and compounded upon using a crawl-walk-run type methodology. Obstacle negotiation is of the utmost importance for vehicle survivability and longevity to complete the mission.

Vehicle Navigation in Multiple Terrain Types: Contracted instructors will conduct movement and instruction through multiple types of rigorous terrain, such as mountainous (rock crawling), mud, dirt, loose gravel, and sand. The types of terrain negotiated during the training are applicable to the SOF consumer and the many different environments in which we operate.

Basic and Advanced Vehicle Recovery Methods: Basic recovery methods are taught before any driving begins. The contractor will conduct blocks of instruction throughout movement to bolster the customers’ capabilities and competence. Recovery methods are practiced throughout the course using multiple different methods and tools. Recovery tools used in the course are introduced such as bow shackles, soft shackles, tow straps, kinetic ropes, chains, traction boards, high lift jacks, etc. The introduction of these recovery methods and tools provides the customer the confidence and capability to fix the problem and continue mission.

The Contractor shall accomplish improving the confidence and capabilities of SOF customers to negotiate many different types of environments and terrain to accomplish the mission while using non-standard and military off road vehicles.
