Task Area 2 -Training Development. The Contractor shall provide Training Development support. This support typically includes, but is not limited to researching, writing and revising existing Maneuver Force, DoD, or DA training documents and materials (e.g., Programs of Instruction (POIs), graphic training aids, interactive computer-based materials, classroom reference materials. Training development can also include the use/integration/implementation of Training Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations (TADSS), as a substitute or replacement to a “live” item. (For example: (a) a new weapon might incorporate an inert version into the classroom for hands-on assembly/disassembly; (b) a vehicle with multiple configurations might use a programmable simulator for its different configurations and associated peculiarities. For these, the Contractor would revise a POI, implementing the TADSS for (a) safety or (b) cost/availability reasons.) The incorporation (or non-incorporation) of TADSS in training development involves research, document review, coordination with course proponents, writing, design and evaluation, and hands-on training to determine efficient and effective use of TADSS. Outcomes or products and include, but are not limited to: new or revised POI; determination/findings in a study of the effectiveness of a particular TADSS; recommendations for changes to current TADSS; courses of action and/or alternate training if/when a TADSS is unavailable. The Contractor shall submit all work products to the COR or designated MCoE official for review and approval. 5.3.1. The primary product will be a Program of Instruction (POI) or Lesson Plan, and interactive multimedia instruction (IMI). Secondary products include Graphical Training Aids (GTA), student handouts, study aids, classroom supplemental materials/take-aways, and similar training aids. In some cases, the work will result in new materials, institutional or unit training support packages, or programs of instruction developed or revised IAW TRADOC Regulation 350-70 (or the successor regulation). In some cases, the work results in new Combined Arms Training Strategy (CATS) or related publications. Development of Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) or distance learning (DL) product(s) supporting courses or any portion thereof shall be IAW TRADOC Xxx 350-70-2 and applicable related publications; IMI products range from simple (such as a PowerPoint presentation) to complex (such as a fully-submersed simulation that combines multiple senses to create a realistic scenario or environment), and can support instructor-led or independent learning, via electronic means. 5.3.2. POI description, approval authority, revision requirements and associated information are found in TRADOC Pamphlet 350-70-9 (Budgeting and Resourcing), Chapter 4 (Resourcing Institutional Individual Training and Education), Section IV (Program of Instruction). The MCoE is responsible for some 5100 lesson plans in 120 POIs over 57 courses, most of which are directly associated with Infantry and Armor Courses/POIs. (See Technical Exhibit G.) Each lesson plan is scheduled for review every two years. As the Army’s needs change through restructuring or current events, the potential increases for new courses, merged requirements, and conversion of existing materials to meet emerging circumstances, technologies, and requirements.
