PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) -

For

Army Force Management School (AFMS)

AFMS Education and Administrative Support Contract

POP: 1 September 2023 – 31 August 2028 5 Ordering Periods

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 Part 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 (FM) responsibility, with principal ARSTAF integration and execution responsibilities assigned to the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7), specifically, the DCS G-3/5/7-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 provides 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 44,500 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 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. In August 2014, the USAFMS was accredited by the Army with US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) conducting the accreditation process. In September 2014, the USAFMS was accredited by the Commission of the Council on Occupational Education (COE). The American Council on Education (ACE) accreditation is a new requirement.

The contractor shall understand and support all work associated to meet ACE requirements for both baccalaureate and graduate programs applicable to AFMS courses.
