SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES (SOF) SUPPORT SERVICES
1. Introduction.
1. Introduction. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the Contractor requirements for supporting the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC). Throughout this PWS, the MCMWTC Contractor is referred to as “Contractor”. The relationship between the Government and the Contractor is that of a non-personal services contract. The Government will not exercise supervision or control over the contractor's employees. The Contractor shall provide all labor, material, and services necessary to perform the training support and subject matter expert (SME) tasks described herein and is responsible for supervising its own personnel. The Contractor will ensure its work fully supports the MCMWTC mission and key tasks. The Contractor is expected to demonstrate the work ethic and professionalism required to support MCMWTC in accomplishing its assigned mission. This contract provides MCMWTC with a flexible and adaptable support foundation, allowing efficient and effective response to unpredictable and emerging requirements. The uniqueness of this PWS is essential to supporting the needs of the MCMWTC customer: the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF).
1.0. Background.
1.0.1. MCMWTC Mission. The MCMWTC conducts advanced individual training (AIT) as the formal school for Mountain Warfare and Cold Weather Operations, develops warfighting doctrine, supports Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E) for specialized equipment, and conducts service level MAGTF integrated exercises in order to facilitate increased Marine Corps readiness.
1.0.2. Formal Schools. MCMWTC executes thirteen Programs of Study (POS) that supports the Operating Forces’ individual requirement for cold weather and mountainous training. Each POS supports different capabilities required in these environments. The contractor will primarily support the Summer Mountain Leaders Course (SMLC), Winter Mountain Leaders Course (WMLC), Scout Skiers Course (SSC) and Mountain Operations Staff Planning Considerations (MOSPC). The contractor assists cadre by providing environmental training, mobility, and tactical employment for SOF Students. In addition, contractor provides instruction on SOF warfighting functions, platforms, and equipment sets. MCMWTC conducts WMLC two (2) time per year, SMLC two (2) times per year, SSC two (2) times per year, and MOSPC three (3) times per year.
1.0.2.1. Instructor Sustainment Training. Contractor is required to participate in bi-annual instructor sustainment. The intent is to provide instructors a baseline ability to conduct training in both summer and winter environments. The training is roughly two weeks with a focus on mobility, safety, high risk training, and MEDEVAC/CASEVAC procedures. The instructor training occurs during May and November/December of a calendar year.
1.0.3. Mountain Exercise (MTX). MTX is a Service Level Training Event (SLTE), conducted per MCO 3500.11G, the Service-Level Training Exercise Program (SLTE-P), to meet training standards in select Core/Core Plus mission essential tasks (MET) focused on missions in a complex environment, specifically addressing the technical aspects of mountain and cold weather operations. MTX integrates each element of the MAGTF, consisting of a Ground Combat Element (GCE), Logistics Combat Element (LCE), and Air Combat Element (ACE). Other MTX training participants include Joint, Combined. and Multinational partners. The MTX is scheduled for four exercises per year, one (1) active-duty rotation in the summer, two (2) active-duty rotations in the winter, and one (1) reserve component rotation in the summer. However, additional exercises may get added due to mission requirements.
1.1. Mission.

4.0 Specific Services Provided. Learning materials, course products, scenario development, and instructional services provided must be equivalent to the standards established for Marine or military service personnel who have attended a curriculum development or military instructor certification course or civilian equivalents such as the Marine Corps Formal School Instructor Course (FSIC), Facilitate Learning Experience (FLEX) course or Curriculum Development Course, and in accordance with Marine Corps Orders and Policy stated above in paragraph 3.5. The Contractor shall provide overall expertise for successful completion of these tasks.
4.1. MCMWTC SME Support. The SOF SME is required for planning and execution of formal schools, exercises, and unit level training.
4.1.1. Special Operations Forces SME Support.
Recent events led the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), Service Chiefs, and Commander US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to place great emphasis on development and improvement of Interoperability, Interdependence, and Integration between SOF and Conventional Forces (SOF-CF I3). SOF participation in Service Level Training Exercises (SLTE) is one line of effort to address this issue and one that is very much a part of the Mountain Exercise (MTX) conducted at MCMWTC. SOF-CF I3 enhances the ability of the Marine-Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) to focus on competitor and near-peer contingencies. Deploying MAGTFs interact with SOF maneuver elements and their command and control (C2) systems creating potential friction points. The unique compartmentalized terrain of mountainous environments and the challenges of conducting and sustaining combat operations in these environments’ forces SOF and the MAGTF sharing that battlespace closer than in most other combat environments. SOF participation in MTX reinforces their mountain and cold weather warfare skills, develops and refines unit tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) and works SOF-CF I3 problem sets during the exercise.
The SOF SME will assist the Exercise Control (EXCON) section with exercise planning, scenario development, training objective development, evaluation of SOF units during the conduct of MTX, and training mitigation plans during the entirety of each MTX Joint Event Life Cycle (JELC). The SOF SME is an integral part of each exercise’s design and control between SOF and conventional forces. The SOF SME provides invaluable feedback for the creation and dissemination of AAR products submitted to both the Marine Corps and USSOCOM.
4.1.2. The Contractor shall conduct an analysis of instructional material, equipment, facilities, and methods to meet training objectives. In support of this requirement, the Contractor shall:
· Review training objectives for appropriateness to target training population (size, capabilities, shortfalls).
· Develop, revise, and maintain all associated schedules, products, and documents required for Unit Readiness Planning.
4.2. Instructional Support Services. The Contractor shall provide instructional support services for the execution of associated Unit Training Management (UTM) interoperability for Training and Education Command (TECOM) including:
