MCTP BRIDGE PERIOD 2 - 5 MONTH EXTENSION

Fort Leavenworth is the U.S. Army’s Center for Excellence in combined arms education, doctrine, and leadership development. The MCTP supports the collective training of U.S. Army units as directed by the Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA) and scheduled by U.S. Army Western Hemisphere Command in accordance with the U.S. Army Sustainable Readiness Model in order to train leaders and provide commanders the opportunity to train on mission command in Unified Land Operations. The MCTP performs this mission by conducting four basic types of exercises: Warfighter Exercises; U.S. Army Service Component/Joint and Combined Staff Training Exercises; Mission Readiness Exercises; and Contingency Operations. On average, the MCTP conducts 73 exercises annually in support of brigades and other units up to and including U.S. Army Service Component Commands. Each exercise requires approximately 10 weeks of planning and support over a period of nine to twelve months; at any one time, the MCTP is developing between five and seven exercises.

The contractor must provide non-personal technical services to support the mission requirements of the MCTP. The contractor must provide a staff with the qualifications necessary to operate computer-based simulations and models, and automated tools used for the collection and analysis of information used by MCTP. These include the Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability (JLCCTC) systems, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Information Systems (C4I), Warfighters Simulation (WARSIM), legacy simulation federation models such as After Action Review System (AARS), and Joint Training Information Management System (JTIMS).
