- Description
- The Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Acquisition Directorate (AD) is conducting market research to locate qualified, experienced and interested small businesses to provide�the�Ministry of Defense Advisors (MoDA) Instruction and Management Training Support Services, in support of the Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) customer.�� The MODA program was established to respond to operational requirements in Afghanistan and�increased U.S. Government emphasis on civilian-led capacity building at the ministerial level. In�the past, DoD carried out advisory efforts on an ad hoc basis, utilizing military or contract�personnel whose functional expertise and advisory skills were not matched to address technical processes and gaps in civilian government ministries. MODA was designed to leverage the�subject matter expertise of the DoD civilian workforce in addressing partner ministerial�development objectives, and to provide these civilians with cultural, operational, and advisory�training necessary to ensure that the advisory effort is appropriate and effective. Since July�2010, MODA has trained and deployed over 800 advisors worldwide. Pre-existing programs employed to prepare civilian and military personnel for deployment were�focused on minimal preparation requirements (administrative, equipment issue, etc.), extremely�short in duration (in some cases as few as 3 days) and were often subordinated to Senior Military�Commander�s training objectives/requirements. National leadership identified the need to provide deploying civilians and their military counterparts a comprehensive, full-immersion�preparation experience that was tailored to a specific integrated set of civilian and military�requirements. Ergo, the need was recognized for greater interaction and coordination between�uniformed and civilian personnel and their associated missions. To support the President�s�Overseas Contingency Operations strategy, to institutionalize lessons learned from over a decade�of conflict, and to ensure the overall workforce has been introduced to working in a deployed�environment emphasizing full-immersion - theater specific training programs to prepare�government personnel to operate as part of the DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce.�Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 1404.10, published on January 23, 2009, established�to integrate civilian resources into the total workforce, focusing on contingencies, forward�deployment, and emergency response.
