1.1 Background. The Operational Environment (OE) is a composite of the conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect the employment of military forces and bear on the decisions of the unit commander. Some examples are as follows.

· Permissive environment--Operational environment in which host country military and law enforcement agencies have control as well as the intent and capability to assist operations that a unit intends to conduct.

· Uncertain environment--Operational environment in which host government forces, whether opposed to or receptive to operations that a unit intends to conduct, do not have totally effective control of the territory and population in the intended operational area.

· Hostile environment--Operational environment in which hostile forces have control as well as the intent and capability to effectively oppose or react to the operations a unit intends to conduct.

As an organic, complex system, the OE provides the common framework in which war-fighting programs and strategies are conceived, defined, and executed. It is a living foundation in which choices made, by adversary and allies alike, affect the outcome of the future which must be accounted for in all our work. As our adversary’s asymmetrical approach to warfare continues to generate greater complexity and flexibility, our requirement for similar complexity and adaptability in Tactics, Techniques and procedures (TTPs) escalates correspondingly.

1.1.1 Agency Mission. TRADOC Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence (G-2)’s mission is to understand, visualize, describe, deliver & assess the OE in order to reduce risk and prevent surprise; today and into the future 2035+ TRADOC G-2 is the designated Lead for Core Function #13 Operational Environment (OE) (TRADOC Reg. 10-5, Dec 2013). The OE is a composite of the conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect the employment of capabilities and bear on the decisions of the commander. The process of developing, verifying, validating, accrediting, and providing OE products and services represents an authoritative, validated OE contextual baseline for TRADOC users and operational forces in the areas of training and training development; education; leader development; concept and doctrine development; and capabilities development, integration, and evaluation. TRADOC G-2 has the following responsibilities:

i. Study, develop, and maintain the OE; manage OE replication and design for Army Leader Development (LD), Army Training and provide validated OEs to support Capabilities Development including war-games and experiments.

ii. Build and maintain an OE knowledge center as a flexible network of data, tools, relationships, processes, and systems capable of replicating the most complex and difficult circumstances expected in the OE.

iii. Manage the Army Operational Environment/Opposing Forces (OE/OPFOR) modernization program to support LD and training at Combat Training Centers (CTCs), home stations, and Centers of Excellence (CoEs).

iv. Collaborate with Deputy Director Joint Staff J-7, Joint and Coalition Warfighting (JCW) or equivalent Organization on the Joint Operational Environment (JOE) and threats to ensure consistency in the development of the OE benchmark for Joint LD, training, and experimentation.

v. Validate and assess OE and threats application across the TRADOC mission set.

vi. Provide Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) expertise in support of the command’s priorities.

Additionally, in support of the OE and TRADOC CORE functions, G-2 executes its mission and functions by:

v. Representing TRADOC for intelligence resources and integration of ISR concepts and requirements with responsible agencies.

Lastly, G-2 executes special projects and missions assigned as short term, rapid acquisition needs for Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and Consultants. Historical and current activity dictates G-2 establish and sustain an analytic enterprise to ensure TRADOC remains connected to ongoing OE activities in Joint and National Agencies as well as across TRADOC CoEs.

1.1.2 Current Environment. The TRADOC headquarters staff analyzes, assesses, provides staff-management oversight and recommends for decision all activities affecting policy, command guidance, developmental processes, and implementation/execution processes to support the command in meeting its mission. The staff facilitates the coordination and dissemination of strategic operational concepts and plans, doctrine and training to the Department of Defense (DoD), Department of the Army (DA), Deputy Director Joint Staff J-7, Joint and Coalition Warfighting (JCW), Congress, and external agencies and organizations. Also, the staff supports TRADOC subordinate organizations in executing command initiatives in recruiting, training, educating, designing, testing and evaluating the force.

1.6 Special Contract Requirements. This PWS contains optional support tasks, and two different type of requirements (firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials). These special requirements impose unique processes in order to properly execute and administer.

1.6.1 Optional Support Tasks. There are three (3) specific tasks that are strictly optional; meaning, these tasks will require performance only when exercised via contract modification issued by the KO. These tasks are: (i) 5.2.5.2, Network Engagement; (ii) 5.2.5.3, Network Data Training; and, (iii) 5.3.10, Joint Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Support. These tasks will be priced separately, based upon competed, firm-fixed-price amounts, and have its own contract line item in Section B of the awarded contract.

When the TRADOC G-2 has a need for any of these optional support tasks as defined in its corresponding PWS paragraph, the Contracting Officer will issue a modification to add appropriate funds to exercise those CLINs for the required amount of time. There is no guarantee that optional support tasks will be exercised.

1.6.2 Time-and-Material (T&M) Requirements. This PWS primarily consists of firm-fixed-price requirements; however, there are some areas that will require T&M support due to the nature of the requirement. PWS paragraph 5.3.9 is primarily T&M type requirements, with the exception of its corresponding ‘Key’ personnel. There are also ad hoc requirements that will arise in other functional areas contained in the PWS that will be related/in-scope. The contractor shall not incur T&M costs unless and until they receive written direction from either the COR or the Contracting office. Both areas will follow the process below.

1.6.2.1 T&M Administration Process. TRADOC G-2 Directors develop Technical Letters of Instruction (Tech LOIs) for COR approval which will clearly identify which existing contract tasks the work to be performed fits within, the appropriate labor category that will be listed on the contract after award, and an estimated number of hours. The COR will prioritize the Tech LOIs for internal TRADOC G-2 Technical Review Board approval. Once approved, the COR will pass the Tech LOIs to the KO and Contractor; the Contractor will then propose the labor category(ies) with rate(s) as stated in the awarded contract (applying any discounts if desired), number of estimated labor hours, estimated material and travel needed to perform, and will provide a total estimated cost (referred to herein as a ‘rough order magnitude’ (ROM)) which the KO and COR will review and approve if appropriate. The COR will assign a ROM approval number and will track each event to include the approved estimated values, time sheets, and actual expended amounts. THE CONTRACT WILL INCLUDE A CEILING PRICE THAT THE CONTRACTOR EXCEEDS AT ITS OWN RISK. This entire process will be tracked through a common portal in order to maintain transparency and oversight between both the Government and the Contractor.

1.6.2.2 T&M Deliverables. T&M deliverables are defined in PWS para 6.1.7 and in Section C-8.
