On January 3, the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) – Fort Eustis, VA posted the request for proposal (RFP) for the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Deputy Chief for Intelligence (G-2) Operational Environment (OE) and Core Functions Support Services requirement. Proposals are due by 10:00 a.m. Eastern on February 6.
An OE is the aggregate of the conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect the employment of capabilities and bear on the decisions of the commander. For US Army Forces, an OE encompasses the air, land, maritime, space, and cyberspace domains; the Information Environment (IE); the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS); and other factors. Commanders and staffs analyze an operational environment using the eight operational variables: Political; Military; Economic; Social; Information; Infrastructure; Physical environment; and Time (PMESII-PT). Within an OE, it is difficult to discern how the many entities will behave and interact with each other, as well as the differing circumstances that will result from these actions. No two (2) OEs are the same. Additionally, an OE is not static; it continually transforms. This transformation results from opposing forces and actors interacting and their abilities to learn and adapt. The complex and dynamic nature of an OE makes determining the relationship between cause and effect difficult and contributes to the uncertain nature of military operations.
TRADOC G-2’s mission is to understand, visualize, describe, deliver & assess the OE in order to reduce risk and prevent surprise; today and over the next ten years. TRADOC G-2 is the designated Core Function Lead for the OE (TRADOC Reg. 10-5, Jul 2021). The OE is a composite of the conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect the employment of capabilities and bear on the decisions of the commander. The process of developing, verifying, validating, accrediting, and providing OE products and services represents an authoritative, validated OE contextual baseline for TRADOC users and operational forces in the areas of training and training development; education; leader development; doctrine development; and across: Doctrine; Organization; Training; Materiel; Leadership and Education; Personnel; and Facilities (DOTMLP-F) integration.
