Subject Matter Experts (SME)s will be needed to fill Exercise Play Functions (EPF) as role players and SMEs in the Exercise Control Organization (EXCON).�Each exercise will have a unique combination of EPFs and thus a set of STOCs depending on the scenario and exercise design.� BIDDING PROCEDURE NATO ICB requires that the U.S. Government issue a DOE for potential U.S. prime contractors interested in this project.
