Work under these contracts will involve fielding the CCP21 concept to the installations by teaching each required action and then, by hands-on assistance of the application of each required action to ensure the required information is produced to continue the process as contained in the TRADOC training manual. The process will conclude with the publication of a commander approved vision book or program plan which is organized according to ten human needs categories that shows vision, goals, prioritized action plans, area action plans, resources, installation management action plans. The vision book will provide the basic requirements for a service based budget, benchmarking, and evaluation. The vision book will show all actions from current to 20 years in the future that are required to accomplish the vision. Task Orders issued to the Contractor may require attending HQ TRADOC sponsored training on the CCP21 concept and plan development; providing similar training to selected installation senior staff members; and participating in subsequent training of other participants at the installations.
