The KBSC supports Unified Land Operations during theater level training exercises in the Republic of Korea and Japan, Training and Mission Rehearsal Exercises (MRX) and facilitates Joint, Combined, coalition training, and Service Component commander, staff and leader constructive simulation training from platoon to Combined/Joint Task Force (C/JTF). KBSC trains Korea, Japan, Pacific region, and CONUS based (when required) personnel to use Army Mission Command Systems; manages constructive simulation training resources; and contributes to theater engagement strategy. 1.4.1. Korea Battle Simulation Center (KBSC)is a field operating agency assigned to US Army Pacific (USARPAC) under the operational control of CFC/USFK CJ3. The KBSC, located in the Walker Center at Yongsan Army Garrison, Seoul Korea, is the quote mark hub quote mark for simulation driven exercises at the division level and higher using constructive simulation federations.. For the purpose of Eighth Army exercises, the KBSC responds to the Eighth Army G3. For all other exercises, the KBSC responds to the supported commander or exercise director. 1.4.1.1.. Background Information. The Korea Battle Simulation Center (KBSC) was established by US Forces Korea/Eighth US Army (USFK/8A) in September of 1991. It provides Combined Forces Command (CFC)/US Forces Korea (USFK)/Eighth Army (8A)/ US Army Pacific/US ArmyJapan, the commanders and staffs, their components and major subordinate commands, the ROK Armed Forces, and others with cost effective training alternatives to restrictions imposed by the increased complexity and ranges of current and emerging weapons systems, as well as limited maneuver areas, OPTEMPO, and training dollars. CFC will undergo Operational Control Transition from US led to ROK led-US supported during this contract period. The contractor shall be required to fully support this transition effort in the performance of this contract. Included in this transition will be physical move of KBSC from its current location to Camp Humphreys. 1.4.1.1.1.. KBSC Missions. 1.4.1.1.1.1.. Conduct CFC theater level simulation-driven exercises 1.4.1.1.1..2. Support 8A and 2nd Infantry Division Exercises 1.4.1.1.1..3. Serve as US Army Pacific Regional Simulation Center (RSC) 1.4.1.1.1.4. Provide simulation support to US Army Japan (USARJ). 1.4.1.1.1.5. Support the US Army Mission Command Training Program (MCTP). 1.4.1.1.1..6. Serve as executive agent for the Eighth Army Certification Exercise (CERTEX) program. 1.4.1.1.1..7. Assist ROK Armed Forces in the use of simulations in training 1.4.1.1.1..8. Other exercises, training, test and fielding events. 1.4.1.1.2. Purpose and Operating Philosophy. 1.4.1.1.2.1. The KBSC exists to enhance the readiness of the ROK/US Combined Forces Command; United States Forces, Korea; Eighth Army, US Army Pacific; and other selected US and allied military organizations. The KBSC facilitates the training of these organizations by supporting the conduct of combined, joint, and service exercises from the theater through the small unit level. Normally they are simulation-driven Command Post Exercises (CPXs). However, they may be scripted CPXs, Field Training Exercises (FTXs), Mission Rehearsal Exercises (MRX), Combined Counter-Fire Exercises (CCX), or combinations thereof involving the use ofL-V-C-G technology. The mission is dynamic - short notice exercise-related taskings are the norm. 1.4.1.1.2.2. The KBSC is a service organization devoted to satisfying the customer (the training audience) by providing a high quality product (realistic, stressful, first-rate exercises). It provides the full spectrum training environment from individual through battle staff training and a total immersion in war fighting for Mission Command Leader Training. 1.4.1.1.2.3. The KBSC approach to training through exercise planning and execution is characterized by the tenets of major combat operations. Careful attention is paid to clearly defining for each exercise the training audience, training objectives, and resources available to conduct the exercise. Maximum efficiency and effectiveness are assured through the use of comprehensive and deliberate planning and preparation. 1.4.1.1.2.4. In general, exercises are taken to the training audience... not the reverse. Whenever dictated by the needs of an exercise, simulations will be distributed to remote sites. The KBSC is manned, equipped, and attuned to conducting bare-base, remote operations. 1.4.1.2. Warrior Mission Planning and Rehearsal Complex (WMPRC), located at Camp Casey, Dongduchon, Republic of Korea provides realistic maneuver training to Battalions, Brigades, and Mission Rehearsal Exercises (MRX). Primary simulation federations used are the Joint Live Virtual Constructive (JLVC) Federation and/or Joint Land Component Constructive Training Capability - Entity Resolution Federation (JLCCTC-ERF). In coordination with Training Support Activity Korea (TSAK), virtual simulators and gaming models are used to support live, virtual, constructive (LVC) exercises. The KBSC wide area network provides the Live Virtual Constructive-Integrating Architecture (LVC-IA) to conduct these exercises. 1.4.2. The use of simulations as a training tool for commanders at theater level and below is under a constant state of change. This requires innovative thinking and dynamic procedures to employ them in a manner that provides supported commanders and staff a realistic view of the modern battlefield. Simulations place the command and control elements of the training audience in an environment that stresses decision-making, coordination, and staff interaction. Role players located in simulation centers, communicate with the training audience via organic communication links. In some cases, computer simulations feed data directly to the mission command systems of the training audience. Contractors assume multiple roles in assisting participants during the conduct of a simulation exercise. 1.5. Period of Performance. The period of performance will be from 1 June 2013 to 30 May inclusive of 30 days phase-in period with four (4) one-year option periods. 1.6. General Information. 1.6.1. Hours of Operation. 1.6.1.1.
