Exercise Support: On-site technical support in the management of exercises, training, and readiness. Award Amount includes all Periods of Performance.

Background

The Military Sealift Command (MSC) provides sealift for strategic mobility support of national objectives. Specifically, MSC prepares for and provides strategic sealift during mobilization; provides transportation of cargo and petroleum, oil and lubricants; and operates afloat prepositioning, fleet support and special mission ships. MSC discharges its mission through the employment of sealift forces consisting of government and commercial ships. MSC is organized around four key programs representing the Command's primary business operations: Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force; Special Missions; Prepositioning; and Sealift.

To maintain a high degree of mission capability of the many and varied services provided, MSC regularly participates in and supports field and command post exercises and training of a wide spectrum of customers. MSC has an ongoing commitment to provide exercise support to national level exercises sponsored by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), theatre exercises sponsored by the United States Transportation Command and other war-fighting Combatant Commanders upon request.

The Directorate of Operations (N3) is the focal point and maintains oversight for the command's exercise and functional training program. Day-to-day operations, exercises, and recurring training results provide core background and substance to ongoing readiness assessments accomplished by N3. Additionally, the N3 must be able to maintain the appropriate software tools, planning expertise, and supporting documentation to provide current visibility and management of the command's total exercise, training, and readiness commitments.
