The desired end result is for the Soldiers assigned to the 10 SFG(A) to develop an offensive, non-sport fighting, instinctive hand-to-hand skill set. This training will not be primarily defensiv e in nature and will be an extreme form of physical and environmental domination enabling Soldiers to gain a decisive advantage against multiple assailants. The instruction for 18 Series Soldiers will focus on providing a predetermined skill set in which t hese Soldiers will be able to provide train-the-trainer expertise to their unit personnel. Additionally support Soldiers assigned to the 10 SFG(A)will be offered this training to obtain a survival fighting skill set to enhance overall survivability and unit readiness. Lethal, skeletal breaking and mechanical compliance techniques will be instructed. The program of instruction will provide a basic, intermediate and advanced skill set. The intermediate and advanced sections of training will provide for mis sion related training and mission related scenarios. Techniques taught in the basic course must be applicable and used as a foundation for the advanced course. All skill sets instructed must be executable in full ballistic and protective equipment and appl y to combat and non-combat environments. Techniques must be executable when the Soldier is fatigued and operates in limited visibility. All students will receive instruction blocks in both basic and intermediate skill set before instruction in advanced tec hniques. The contractor will coordinate during the last week of each month directly with unit training sections to develop a monthly hand-to-hand combative training plan. This developed training plan will be provided to the Contracting Officer Representati ve(COR)overseeing the contract no later than the second working day of each month for the same month. Class times will be scheduled between the hours of 0600-1500 hours, Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. Training will occur in facilities p rovided by the government.

KENPO is the martial art identified by the 10 SFG(A)that most closely meets the overall technique criteria. INSTRUCTIONAL EXPERIENCE: Contractor instructors are required to be an occupational Martial Arts Instructor. This requirement ensures the instructor competence in translat ing his or her physical skills into a learnable skill set for a large and diverse demographic. This is a critical requirement in ensuring the instructor possesses the ability to shape training plans and techniques that meet the demands of current operation al and environmental conditions our Soldiers face. The 10 SFG(A)does not have the time or desire to train instructors in how to teach techniques and build scena rios to prepare our Soldiers for current combat realities. OPERATIONAL SECURITY: Instructor(s) will be required to undergo a National Agency Check(NAC), receive a favorable NAC rating and sign a non-disclosure statement.

Techniques will allow acquisition of weapon and combine instantaneous elimination of assailant threat. (b)Retention and strikes with knives, pistols and assault weapons from standing, kneeling positions an d while the Soldier is walking. The threat must be reduced immediately both lethal and non-lethal methods are required. (c)Defensive and Offensive actions relating to hand Strikes (lethal, non-lethal application) instruction in where to strike and the resu lting effect, all hand strikes shall be applicable with the weapons retention techniques instructed. (d)Lower body quadrant kicks that break and incapacitate the threat and are performed while wearing all military equipment. They shall be performed in conf ined areas as well as open areas. (e)Fundamental kicking defense enables the Soldiers to prevent being kicked and simultaneously allows the Soldier to control the threat.

The techniques must be applicable in confined spaces, work instantaneously to allow the Soldier to deal with multiple assailants. (g)Throws that allow the Soldier to eliminate a threat if attacked from behind or initia te a throw to eliminate an assailant. (h)Ground fighting instruction that allows the Soldier to instantaneously gain the advantage, if he is taken or falls to the ground, so he can immediately return to his feet and will not be exposed to multiple attacker s. The ground fighting techniques shall directly relate to the standing hand and kicking techniques to reduce the complexity of the combative system being instructed and increase the Soldier ability to immediately apply the techniques. (i)Improvised Weapon s Techniques that are offensive and defensive in nature and allow the Soldier to defend against an assailant with a stick, pipe, furniture or any thing that the Soldier could face while deployed.
