This FedBizOpps notice is an announcement seeking market information on businesses capable of providing the services as described herein.

Training will exercise the HUMINT operational cycle and mission planning essentials consistent with the criterion used within the MEU. Training will integrate Task Force specific operational tactics, techniques, and procedures used within the Marine Air Ground Task Fore (MAGTF). Training will involve the execution of offensive HUMINT skills, defensive Counterintelligence skills, and the entire spectrum of CI/HUMINT support to Force Protection. Training will yield an understanding of CI/HUMINT analysis and management and ultimately build upon the core CI/HUMINT trade skills taught at Navy Marine Corps Intelligence Training Center (NMITC) with quantifiable competency reviews to the supported combatant commanders. Event Parameters: The duration of the training will encompass three segments. The first segment of training will consist of a combination of platform instruction and practical exercises. The second segment will be the exercise portion of the training which will align with the MAGTFX portion of the MEU workup cycle. On average MAGTFXs are fourteen day exercises. The third segment of training will align with CERTEX portion of the MEU workup cycle which is a twelve day exercise. Both the second and third segments are performance training venues anchored on training objectives. Training Events: Many of the elements associated with CI/HUMINT training, referred to as tradecraft, is sensitive in nature and cannot be specifically outlined in standard unclassified media and communication channels. However, much of the training required surrounds two elements; Military Source Operations (to include Counterintelligence Force Protection Source Operations) and interrogation.
