Education, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF) analysis to address maneuver forces operating in complex and built-up subterranean environments. In April 2014, the MCoE recommended to the Army Capabilities Integration Center (ARCIC) Director that a Capabilities

Based Assessment would provide the best basis for potential integrated DOTMLPF solution recommendations to address identified Subterranean Operations (SbTO) capability gaps.

Completed and approved in Mar 2016 the MCOE Functional Area Analysis (FAA) was the first holistic analysis of subterranean aspects of the operational environment which identified platoon and below level requirements across the physical operating environments where SbT features occur, the various conditions that they present, as well as the operational context that the GPF will encounter. The SbTO Functional Needs Analysis completed in April 2017 identified enduring conventional force brigade combat team (BCT) mission requirements for Soldiers to operate underground, determined capability related to those requirements, and recommended gap mitigation solution approaches for action across the capability domains. The primary focus was employment of dismounted infantry, combat engineers, and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear, (CBRN) platoons capabilities as the critical organizations required to operating in the SbT environment. To date, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff has directed the MCoE to develop and publish SbTO doctrine and develop and execute training on SbTO doctrine and

Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTPs) to BCTs across the Army.

1.3. Objectives: The objective of this contract action is to provide training, operations, administration, and logistical support to the MCoE’s SbTO MTTs; as well as to provide instruction for the MTTs, and training development and doctrine development support for the MCoE’s SbTO responsibilities.
