STATEMENT OF NEED
For
60th AMW/OG
Description: The 60th Air Mobility Wing SERE program requires a boat and trailer to conduct SERE Refresher training (SRT) for all 60 AMW aircrew as well as plan and execute personnel recovery exercises locally. All information within this statement of need will be referenced in the AFI 16-1301_AMCSUP SURVIVAL, EVASION, RESISTANCE, AND ESCAPE (SERE)
PROGRAM.
For SERE refresher training aircrew are required every 48 months to attend SS05, Water Survival Training (WST). 60 OSS SERE requires a boat to effectively conduct WST in a realistic and safe manner. As outlined in the operational guidelines, it is essential to simulate real-world survival scenarios to the maximum extent possible. To achieve this, training needs to be conducted in natural waters, such as the ocean, or a lake verses where it is currently being hosted at the base pool. A boat will enable personnel and equipment to be transported to the training site, provide a safe and stable platform for risk management, demonstrate and practice survival and recovery techniques in a realistic environment. By having a boat, it will be ensured that personnel receive the best possible training, which is essential for meeting operational and deployment requirements. This will ultimately enhance readiness and ability to respond to real-world emergencies world wide.
60 OSS SERE needs a boat to conduct realistic personnel recovery exercises in natural waterways, which is essential for assessing operational support capabilities. The boat will enable 60 OSS SERE to simulate real-world scenarios, testing aircrew and equipment survival skills, as well as the ability of wingmen to communicate and locate downed personnel. This capability is critical for preparing personnel to respond to emergency situations and increasing their chances of successful recovery, ultimately enhancing the unit's readiness and ability to respond to real-world personnel recovery scenarios.
Period of Performance: 30 Days after contract award requested.
