This Performance work statement (PWS) identifies the mission support requirements of the U.S. Army Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) at Fort Polk, Louisiana. It describes the tasks and functions required by the user and provides the contractor with information concerning the concept, expectations, and performance requirements of the JRTC's Mission Support Contract (MSC). 1.2 Mission Overview. The JRTC is one of the U.S. Army's Combat Training Centers that is focused on providing a realistic, high-end collective training experience at the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) level. The JRTC derives its mission from Army Regulation (AR) 350-50: "Combat Training Center Program." Instructions regarding the implementation of AR 350-50 are provided by various U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) supplemental regulations. Both Active and Reserve Component U.S. Army units participate in JRTC rotational exercises. The JRTC's primary focus is on training light infantry, air assault, airborne, and special operations units, including rangers. However, it is not uncommon for JRTC to host rotational exercises for U.S. Army motorized and mechanized formations, as well as selected units from the U.S. Marine Corps or U.S. Navy. U.S. Air Force Close Air Support (CAS) and Air Mobility assets are closely integrated into virtually every rotational exercise. The JRTC is also a critical element in the military's Joint National Training Center initiative which exists to train joint force units and headquarters. Furthermore, in the future, the Joint Readiness Training Center may be required to have the capacity to conduct standard CTC rotations simultaneously to an exportable training capability to either Power Projection Platforms or home station training sites in accordance with higher headquarters direction. 1.3 Rotational Training Units. The Rotational Training Unit (RTU) is typically a U.S. Army BCT of 3-5 maneuver battalions with all habitually supporting elements. Each rotation also typically includes an Area Support Group (ASG) or Corps Support Group (CSG) - and associated subordinate elements - in order to replicate support units from Units of Employment (UEx) and (UEy) levels of command. In addition, U.S. Army Special Operations Forces (SOF) are normally integrated into the rotational exercise. SOF elements are typically task organized around a U.S. Army Special Forces battalion headquarters with habitually supporting CA, PSYOPS, CI, and tactical HUMINT elements, 2 Operational Detachment B's (ODB's) and up to 8 Operational Detachment A's (ODA's). Occasionally, the RTU may have a U.S. Army Aviation Brigade and/or an Army Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB) in Direct Support of their operations. Also, it is not uncommon for an element of a sister service to be under the OPCON or TACON of, or in Direct Support of, the RTU. Examples include USMC conventional units at battalion or F company level, USN gunfire support, or USN/USAF SOF forces. The USAF routinely provides a variety of assets to provide CAS and Tactical Airlift support to the RTU throughout the duration of the rotational exercise. The exact RTU task organization for each rotational exercise remains at the discretion of the government and is normally identified at the rotational exercise Initial Planning Conference (IPC). The JRTC endeavors to conduct the IPC with the RTU approximately 210 days prior to the start of each rotational exercise. 1.4 Standard Rotational Exercises. The JRTC has historically hosted 10 rotational exercises each Fiscal Year (FY). These exercises are typically Full-Spectrum Force-On-Force (FOF) exercises based on any combination of full spectrum operations: Stability Ops Support Ops (SOSO) and Counter Insurgency (COIN) Ops. Standard rotations are typically 14 days in length. Standard rotations take place in a generic region with scenarios and OPFOR threats based on the contemporary operational environment (COE). RTU missions conducted during standard rotations are generally in direct alignment to the RTU's standard METL and training objectives. The Exercise Director provides JRTC P/EMC with general scenario and mission guidance at the rotational IPC. Final command approval of the exercise scenario and mission profile normally occurs at the rotational exercise In- Progress Review, conducted approximately 90 days prior to D-Day. The exact number of rotational exercises that will take place in any FY, as well as their duration, will fluctuate at the discretion of the government. Live Fire Exercises (LFX) are integrated into every rotational exercise. The LFX phase may begin as early as D-10 and continue through change of mission (COM) as discrete operations that are integrated into the fabric of the rotational exercise. Standard rotations will also typically include a Command Post Exercise (CPX) for three maneuver battalion subordinate to the RTU headquarters. During the FOF phase of rotational exercises, training is conducted on a continuous 24-hour per day basis in a free-play mode. Rotational training exercises are fully instrumented and be linked to units in the constructive exercise. In the future typical rotational support provided by the contractor may include additional requirements linked to the reduction in military personnel available for rotational support. 1.5 Special Rotational Exercises. Special rotations are modified standard rotations. The JRTC will schedule special rotations as required. These modified rotations include, but are not limited to, Mission Rehearsal Exercises (MRE), Mission Readiness Exercises (MRX), or exercises that are experimental in nature. Special rotations generally follow the same key event timeline as standard rotations. However, the scenario and mission profiles for special rotations are specially constructed to replicate the environment and conditions that the RTU is likely to encounter in a specific operational theater. Recent MRE/MRX examples include exercises in preparation for RTU deployment to Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Joint Guardian, and Operation Joint Forge. Special rotations frequently involve additional support requirements from the MSC. These additional requirements include, but are not limited to, the following: additional role players; cultural role players; subject matter experts; short notice scenario development adjustments; maneuver area preparation and recovery; MSC support at off-site locations, and fabrication of special props. Increased costs associated with special rotations are provided on a reimbursable cost-plus-award-fee basis. During special rotations, it is common for a Situational Training Exercise (STX) phase of 4-8 days to be added to the rotational exercise - increasing the duration of the total rotational exercise up to 21 days. During the STX phase of rotational exercises, training is normally conducted up to 18 hours per day. Both the STX and FOF phases of special rotations are fully instrumented. 1.5.1 Other unique rotational requirements. During the course of the contract specific training may require additions to paragraphs 1.3 or 1.4. These requirements shall be negotiated by specific modification and charged to the contract under separate CLINs. Requirements will be initially captured by modification and added to contract by attachment. Each modification shall have specific periods of performance noted. 1.6 Rotational Exercise Locations. While not bound by the following list, rotational exercises are typically conducted at or from the following locations: 1.6.1 FOF and STX phases: Within the Fort Polk Maneuver Training Area - to include the Fullerton and Peason Ridge/Horse's Head training areas; England Industrial Air Park (Alexandria, LA); and Camp Beauregard, LA. 1.6.2 LFX phase: Peason Ridge/Horse's Head portion of the Fort Polk Maneuver Training Area expanding to Fullerton and Stuttgart Gordon on occasions. 1.6.3 SOF: Within the Fort Polk Maneuver Training Area - to include the Fullerton and Peason Ridge/Horse's Head training areas; England Industrial Air Park (Alexandria, LA); Camp Beauregard, LA; Camp Shelby, MS; and the U.S. Army National Training Center (Fort Irwin, CA). 1.6.4 U.S. Air Force Close Air Support operations: originating from Barksdale AFB, LA. 1.6.5 U.S. Air Force Air Mobility operations: originating from Little Rock AFB, AK. 1.6 Personnel 1.6.1 Personnel involved in program management, Leader Training Program, scenario development, training analysis, and battle simulation should possess an in-depth and current understanding of the missions, functions, and structure of the Army's light infantry, airborne, air assault, and special operations forces.

Up to twenty mock villages (typical use is 15 villages) in the Fullerton and Peason Ridge training areas of Fort Polk serve as the place setting for Role Play activity on the notional island of Aragon. The focus is on a regional or district government with villages that are self governing at the local level. The national and/or regional governments have very limited capability to provide basic needs and services for its citizens. The economic base primarily focuses on subsistence farming and local trade. All finished goods must be imported from outside the region. There are limited repair parts, hardware, foodstuffs, tools, work clothing, fuel, and other miscellaneous supplies to sustain its day-to-day existence. Public works and utilities, such as telephone, water, electricity, natural gas, sewage and road maintenance are all notionally provided by the host nation or IO or NGO agencies. Law enforcement activities are not extensive or continuous, but have local jurisdiction and are drawn from, and have allegiance to, the local community. The community has a small governing body consisting of a mayor and a council that can regulate community affairs and has jurisdiction over goods and services provided to the citizens by the community. The governing body is chosen and approved by the community at large through the electoral process, which is described in the Area Study. Above all, the community has and maintains all of the freedoms and rights under host nation law, and is not subject to any U.S. military or civil law. The community and its citizens have the ability to resist occupation by, and control of, any of its private assets by U.S. military forces. The use and control of public assets is strictly governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA) between the U.S. and the host nation. These agreements are included in the information received by rotational units. Local government officials perform their duties on a part time basis while tending to their notional occupations in the community on a full time basis. The community consists of farmers and their families, as well as the merchants who provide the goods and services described above. 5.8.3 Village Staffing.
