Simulation Control Plan (SCP).

SCP Planning Requirements.

IEP (W-330). The exercise locations and facilities available are identified. Training audiences and response cells communicate their space and equipment requirements as they participate in the SCP WG. Models for standard response cells are presented to them to inform their development of detailed requirements.

After the IEP the SCP and Room Build Templates are developed and OGs verify their requirements per cell (this can be done as a part of the EPT).

Any required separate site surveys are conducted to confirm space/rooms available and develop room builds.

At the MEP (W-210) the primary site survey is completed. Room build models are adjusted to meet actual space available. Requirements for Training Audiences and Response Cells are verified during the SCP WG. **Training audiences are accompanied by their OC/T when reviewing their WC/RC requirements (the OC/T provides critical guidance and perspective for specific training audience and response cell requirements)

NLT MEP plus 30 Days (W-180). The complete Draft of the SCP is due to the COR for staffing within MCTP. Each OG reviews SCP and annotates required changes.

NLT MEP plus 45 Days (W-165). OGs submit changes to SCP lead for consolidation with signatures. MC6 signs?

NLT MEP plus 75 Days (W-130). Approved SCP published. Any further changes to the approved SCP are captured at the OG level and reviewed during the EPTs until the FEP.

FEP (W-100). Room builds and requirements confirmed with Training Audiences and response cells. **Again OC/Ts accompany training audiences during the SCP (and ESMD) reviews to capture required changes.

NLT FEP plus 15 Days (W-85). Change 1 (if required) to SCP is published.

NLT FEP plus 30 Days (W-70). Murder Board is scheduled. Shipping requirements are confirmed.

Simulation Control Plan Format: The contractor shall provide at minimum the following documentation listed below when developing the SCP. (See TE-13 A/B SCP Example)

Specific Format Requirements. Contractor will develop and produce the SCP using the following guidelines and formats to facilitate standardization between all MCTP operations groups, sections and external agencies.

All draft and final SCP documentation will be converted to PDF format when submitted to the government, all documentation submitted will use cover letter format and government provided templates. (See TE-13 A/B SCP Example)

Contractor shall use Microsoft Visio, Excel, Word and PDF to develop detailed floor plans of all locations and building used during the exercise, to include Fort Leavenworth locations. (See TE-13 SCP Example) o Visio will be used to produce site, building, floor, and room layouts.

o Excel will be used to produce site, building, floor, and room equipment lists.

o Word will be used to combine both the visio and excel data into one document.

o PDF will be used when document is published.

Contractor shall use approved icon list provided by the government CIO section, icons will be used to identify required equipment and furnishings used during an exercise.

SCP icons and spreadsheets must be legible and detailed to meet MCTP exercise requirements.

All pages of the SCP will have standardized header and page numbers to facilitate updates and changes.

ENCL 3: Room Drawings and Equipment requirements section of the SCP will adhere to following format.

o Index Header page o Glossary of Symbols section o Overall Equipment roll-up o Main Site location overview with area map o Main Site locations with unit/training audience map o Main Site detailed list of buildings/rooms supported o Main Site equipment roll-up o Main Site Building/Room diagrams and individual roll-up o Secondary Site location overview with area map o Secondary Site locations with unit/training audience map o Secondary Site list of buildings/rooms supported o Secondary Site equipment roll-up o Secondary Site Building/Room diagrams and individual roll-up

5.3.6 SCP Changes/Updates: Contractor shall provide additional coversheet with all listed changes to initial SCP listing pages that were updated during the SCP development process. This will facilitate users reviewing updated versions.
