PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

For

United States Army Force Management School (USAFMS)

PART 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to execute the United

States Army Force Management School (USAFMS) requirement as defined in this Performance Work

Statement (PWS) except as Specified in section C-3 as Government furnished property and services at the

AFMS. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Army Force Management is the capstone process to establish and field mission ready

Army organizations. Within HQDA, the Vice Chief of Staff, Army (VCSA) is charged with overall Force

Management responsibility, with principal ARSTAF integration and execution responsibilities assigned to the Deputy Chief of Staff, Operations and Plans (DCSOPS), specifically, the ADCSOPS-FM. The

USAFMS contract enables execution of these responsibilities by providing support to and augmenting planning, integration, and execution of Army missions and functions, and to provide in-depth, integrated

Force Management education and training. The strategies for execution of force management are reflective of statutory requirements, National Security Strategy, National Military Strategy, DOD

Guidance, Planning and the supportive policies, procedures, and decisions which determine, develop, and integrate the requirements for the capabilities of Department of Defense forces. Successful integration and execution of force management activities requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of these factors and their interrelationships and impacts on the total force.

On 30 June 1993 Department of the Army, Inspector General (DAIG) concluded the Force Management

Study. The study was structured to analyze the policies, procedures, processes, and systems, which contribute to developing, building, maintaining, and sustaining combat-ready forces. In conclusion it was found that Headquarters Department of the Army (HQDA) was not organized to effectively manage

Force Integration (FI) and that there existed a general lack of knowledge from Army senior leadership.

The Chief of Staff, Army (CSA) concluded the need to establish a centralized educational institution which could provide both education and training, and augment the Military and Civilian workforce who worked within the FM field. Accordingly, in June 1994 the CSA established the USAFMS as the Army’s

FM centralized educational institution. AFMS educates General Officers, Senior Executive Service

(SES), Commissioned Officers, Noncommissioned Officers, and DA/DOD Civilians in force management to enable them to manage and integrate Army and DOD processes to produce campaign quality, combat ready units for Combatant Commanders. To date the USAFMS has graduated in excess of

37,000 students who execute the Army’s force management mission worldwide.

In June 1996, the Army initiated the OPMS XXI study which was to look at the parity and fairness of the overall Army Officer Personnel Management System (OPMS). One of the recommendations adopted was the establishment of a Force Management proponency. The proponency would provide the Army with the means of providing a professional, educated, and trained workforce in order to execute force management activities. In April 1998, the CSA directed that the FA50 proponency be established. The proponency was initially established and operated by the USAFMS from 1998 to 2001. In 2001 HQDA reorganized, and under this reorganization, the Army G3 Force Development (FD) division was moved in order to initially form as what we know today as the Army G8. The Army G8 is now the Executive

Agent (EA) for the FA50 proponency, and the Army G3 remains the EA for FM.

1.3 Scope/Objectives: This contract supports three major objectives:

1) To provide in-depth, cost effective FM education and training to both military and civilian personnel assigned within DOD that will work within FM fields, or will be required to have subject matter knowledge; 2) To provide for General Officer / Senior Executive Service education and training specifically focusing on strategic leadership development to prepare senior executives to assume strategic leadership positions within DOD; 3) To provide the Department of the Army (DA) with the means of maintaining currency of specified FM publications, regulations, manuals, pamphlets, circulars, and associated documents.
