Vision Statement Provide Training Support Services (TSS) in support of United States Army Central

(ARCENT) continuing efforts of enhancing the warfighting skills of U.S. training units via the use of live and virtual (LV) training.

1 Introduction

The U.S. Army Contracting Command Orlando has a requirement to procure TSS for

PEO STRI to support the ARCENT mission in Kuwait and other locations within the

ARCENT area of operations (AO). The TSS will provide technical expertise, system operators, maintenance and life-cycle support for the sustainment, operations and support management of numerous Training Aids, Devices, Simulators and Simulations

(TADSS) within the ARCENT AO. Instruction, Operation, and Maintenance (I/O & M) support of the various types of LV training ranges, equipment and facilities are a primary duty of the service providers. The Contractor shall provide TSS across the following

ARCENT established resource sets, ARCENT Training Readiness Center (ARTC), Udairi Range Complex (URC) and the Training Support Center (TSC) which has (3) locations: Camp Buehring, Camp Arifjan, and a third satellite (small) capability in Qatar.

The changing environment in the Middle East and the United States Central Command

(USCENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR) has new missions and an increased capacity for operational maneuver to ARCENT. The ARCENT G37 (Training and

Security Cooperation) intent is to maintain and expand the ARCENT ability of enhancing the warfighting skills of U.S. units conducting training.

1.1 Mission

To provide flexible, efficient, effective and quality knowledge based TSS to ARCENT assigned, aligned, and supported units (to include austere and non-austere environments; and contingency and non-contingency operation locations).

1.2 Background

The ARCENT provides TSS for DoD and non-DoD units as required. TSS contained in this PWS are based out of the ARCENT Kuwait location and continue to change with the global geo-political environment. The training provided is essential for the Armor

Brigade Combat Team (ABCT), Security Forces (SECFOR), Combat Aviation Brigade

(CAB), and other ARCENT specified units within the USCENTCOM AOR in order to prepare units, leaders and Soldiers for ULO.

1.3 Scope

This effort shall provide TSS as well as I/O & M of TADSS, fixed ranges, deployable ranges, and numerous training facilities within the ARCENT AO. TSS will primarily be conducted at the URC, the ARTC, and the TSC’s but services can be executed at any location within with the USCENTCOM AOR.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision and other items necessary to satisfy the performance-based requirements contained herein.

The Government may need to adjust the training programs of instruction (POI), training devices, locations, or student throughput requirements according to mission demand during the execution of this PWS. Unscheduled training events may be conducted with

DoD units, U.S. Agencies, foreign military units and/or other organizations as directed.

These unscheduled events are not customary, but due to geo-political events ARCENT must have the ability to provide training support services for such events.

1.4 Applicable Documents

The Contractor shall abide by all applicable regulations, publications, manuals, and local policies and procedures specified within this PWS. Applicable documents are cited throughout this PWS. The following documents are provided only as reference unless otherwise specified. The Contractor can find the most current version of the documents at http://armypubs.army.mil/, http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/, https://www.esd.whs.mil/dd/, and www.tradoc.army.mil/tpubs/pamndx.htm :

1.5 Definitions

ARTC TADSS - The ARTC TADSS capability enables warfighter training readiness sustainment and enhancement of individual, crew and collective skill sets. This is accomplished through the I/O/M of TADSS which provide: Small arms, M1/M2 gunnery, call for indirect fire, Close Air Support (CAS), medical, vehicle survivability, convoy ambush, intelligence, maneuver and virtual battlefield combat skills training. Virtual devices also support blended training and integration with constructive training exercises executed by another contract supporting ARCENT.

Austere Environment - An area that regularly experiences significant environmental hazards to include but not limited to: heat, cold, altitude, water scarcity, communications, shelter and electricity.

Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) - The AQL is the worst tolerable process average

(mean) in percentage or ratio that is still considered acceptable; that is, it is at an acceptable quality level.

Contingency - An operating environment wherein military actions, operations, or hostilities against an opposing force may require the involvement of U.S. Armed Forces.

Contracting Officers Representative (COR) - CORs are appointed by the Procuring

Contracting Officer (PCO), IAW Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (DFARS)

201.602-2. The COR monitors all technical aspects of the Contractor and assists in

Contractor administration but IS NOT authorized to obligate the Government or make determinations which may culminate into a change to any of the terms and conditions of the Contract.

Deployable Range Capability (DRC) - The DRC provides support and operators for a variety of live fire range configuration requirements, up to a Company (CO) level with infantry and armor targets, throughout the USCENTCOM AOR. This support requires up to two deployed live fire ranges operating simultaneously in addition to operations at

URC. The support to the DRC cannot degrade URC operations.

Exercise Control Group (ECG) – The ECG provides personnel to perform exercise control to Higher Command (HICON) and Lower Command (LOCON) for Contingency

Operations.

Multipurpose Range Complex (MPRC) – The individual and collective training and qualification requirements for armor, infantry, and aviation crews/platoons. This complex supports dismounted infantry tactical live fire operations independently and with supporting vehicles. This range supports individual and collective training and qualification for platoons, sections, teams, and crews on the skills necessary to detect, identify, engage, and defeat stationary and moving armor and infantry targets in a tactical array.

Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) - The individual authorized to enter into

Contracts for supplies and services on behalf of the Government who is responsible for overall procurement under the Contract period.

(FTX) for Theater Security Cooperation events; and Emergency Deployment Readiness

Exercises (EDRE).

The TST provides a Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) training capability to include Counter Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RC-IED)

Electronic Warfare (CREW) individual and collective training. Aligned with this capability is the integration of any emerging technology, Tactics, Techniques, and

Procedures (TTP), and new devices as they are fielded to the Army from the Rapid

Equipping Force (REF) and Asymmetric Warfare Group in the Technology and

Innovations Capability (TIC).

The TST provides a Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), and small UAS

(sUAS) training capability using operational devices, and incorporating TIC resourced technologies when fielded.

Udairi Range Complex (URC). The URC capability encompasses the operation, support, maintenance, and the security of Live Fire ranges adjacent to Camp Buehring as well as a Deployable Range Capability (DRC). The URC ranges provide the capability to conduct range gunnery (main battle tank, infantry and amphibious fighting vehicles), artillery, mortars, air defense, naval gun fire, and fixed and rotary wing air gunnery.
