Added: Mar 05, 2013 8:25 am This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

The RSTB Task Force Training (TFT) exercise is the capstone pre-deployment training event for the 75th Ranger Special Troops Battalion (RSTB), and prepares Rangers of the Regimental Reconnaissance, Military Intelligence, and Communications Companies as well as the Technical Surveillance Detachment to execute their deployed missions. The exercise has a secondary purpose of training RSTB staff sections in command and control and support functions and of providing realistic training opportunities for a team from the 95th Civil Affairs Battalion. TFT 2-13 will be conducted in Jacksonville, FL and Valdosta, GA from 8-23 April 2013.

The exercise is facilitated by a script which establishes the overall scenario and includes the development of fictional target personalities with credible back stories, organized into an enemy cell with a plan to conduct a simulated insurgent attack in the exercise city. Contracted role players are used to simulate the targeted individuals, sources, host nation security forces, and interpreters. The contractor also provides backside coordination and support to synchronize the role players and to incorporate necessary changes and injects to the script to facilitate the training objectives of the battalion, as well as SMEs on Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and all-source intelligence to coach and mentor RSTB collectors and analysts.
