The Department of the Army, U.S. Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC), U.S. Army Security Assistance Training Management (USASATMO) has a requirement for Ground Training and Technical Assistance Related Services.

SATMO is a subordinate command under the U.S. Army Security Assistance Command (USASAC), a Major Subordinate Command (MSC) of Army Material Command (AMC). USASATMO executes the overseas portion of the U.S. Army’s Security Assistance Enterprise Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) training and technical assistance mission. USASATMO plans, forms, prepares, deploys, sustains and re-deploys Continental United States (CONUS)-based (from the continental U.S.) Security Assistance Teams (SATs) to execute OCONUS (overseas) Security Cooperation missions in support of Geographic Combatant Command Theater Security Cooperation Programs and U.S. foreign policy (For the purposes herein, the terms “Security Assistance” and “Security Cooperation” mean “Foreign Military Aid.”).

• SATMO staff teams with active component Army, active component members of other services, reserve component Army, reserve component members of other services and Department of Defense (DoD) civilians. SATMO may use contractor services if none of these are available for a given Ground SAT mission. Because of long lead-times for non-contract personnel, and current operations tempo, SATMO anticipates an increasing requirement for contractor support, especially for ground defense systems, maintenance and operational planning.
• Specific skill requirements will be identified at the Task Order (TO) level. When it is known that uniformed personnel will not be available, contractor support will become the first option considered. In other cases, the more rapid reaction time of contractors may be a governing factor in using contractor teams. Ground SATs deployed because of these requirements may be a single Contractor employee, a combination of DoD personnel and Contractor employee(s), or entirely Contractor employees.
• Ground services will be provided during the Ground SAT execution phase and during the post deployment stage of a Ground SAT mission cycle. The ground services required are divided into two (2) categories: training-related services and technical assistance-related services. The example subtasks and explanations listed below are representative, but not all inclusive, of Ground SAT missions that SATMO may accomplish during a TO.
