PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Mission Readiness Exercise 3rd Security Force Assistance Brigade

P a r t G e n e r a l I n f o r m a t i o n

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personnel services contract to provide specialized role player, subject matter expert support to the 3rd Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) during the conduct of a Mission Readiness Exercise (MRX).

The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services. The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform specialized role player, subject matter expert support as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS). The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background. A requirement exists within the Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFABs) to provide unit level pre-deployment mission readiness exercise (MRX) training prior to combatant command utilization. The 3rd SFAB shall conduct a MRX iteration during the period 04-09 February 24 to prepare its advisor teams for deployment to the Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations (AO). Because of the specificity of the deployment site, this iteration shall simulate the attributes of the CENTCOM AO as closely as possible. The objective of this MRX iteration is focused on executing individual and collective tasks, supporting tasks, and advanced skills while immersed in a simulated CENTCOM environment to provide the combatant command with fully qualified units.

One of the skillsets currently not fully tested until arrival in theater is the ability to effectively engage with U.S. embassy Security Cooperation Organization (SCO) personnel as well as senior echelon Foreign Security Forces (FSF) personnel. To bridge this mission-critical gap and bring the required and qualified instruction to 3rd SFAB Advisors immediately, this specialty must be contracted. There is insufficient time in the 3rd SFAB training cycle for a trial-and-error learning period. The contracted company must arrive at the training location fully prepared to provide up-to-date tactics, techniques, and procedures, with the full confidence of the 3rd SFAB Exercise Control Group (ECG) on the first day of training. Therefore, within its technical approach proposal to meeting the requirements outlined in this PWS, the contractor shall clearly demonstrate a proven ability to successfully resource and manage SFAB pre-deployment training.

1.3 Training Objectives:

1.3.1. Conduct Security Force Assistance (SFA) activities to develop FSF capability.

1.3.4. Enable ATs to conduct simulated Advise, Support, and Assess activities replicating SFA geared towards the establishment and development of an FSF Division-level headquarters in the country of Iraq.

1.3.3. Simulate, synchronize, and exercise supporting role players and equipment to effectively replicate FSF preparations for bi-lateral and multilateral Combined Arms training exercises currently being executed overseas in the CENTCOM AO by 3rd SFAB.

1.3.5. Simulate personalities, environmental/social/religious factors, and current objectives/problems encountered by 3rd SFAB personnel during operations in the CENTCOM AOR.

1.4 Scope. The contractor shall provide 3rd SFAB with a Foreign Security Force role-player support package and US Embassy-based Security Cooperation Organization role-player augmentation support to provide critical Subject Matter Expert Exchange (SMEE) training support.
