Summary:

Yorktown Systems Group is seeking a highly qualified Contract Program Manager to provide individual, leader, small unit, battle staff, and simulation-driven collective Mission Command (MC) training, technical, exercise, simulation, and organizational support for the ARNG Mission Command Training Support Program (MCTSP). The ARNG delivers individual and collective Mission Command system training in Live, Virtual, and Constructive environments to BNs, BDEs, and DIVs throughout the 54 states and territories in order to aid Commanders in achieving their Mission Command Objective T requirements as part of the Army National Guard Training and Readiness Guidance. The ARNG MCTSP currently operates six MTCs, MTC-Atterbury, IN; MTC-Chaffee, AR; MTC-Dodge, IA; MTC-Fort Indiantown Gap, PA; MTC-Gowen, ID; and MTC-Leavenworth, KS, each having its own designated Region. The six Regions collectively incorporate the 50 states, three territories and one District.

The DA G 3/5/7 has designated the Mission Training Complex (MTC) as the vehicle for providing individual through collective MC training across the Army. MC, as defined in Change 1 to Field Manual (FM) 3.0 Operations, is intended to focus on the command activities of understanding, visualizing, describing, directing, leading, and assessing as the primary drivers of the operational process. The Army's MTCs focus on realistic and demanding training. MC focuses our support on the leadership. MC recognizes the key role played by leadership in the dynamic environment of conflict. Furthermore, the focus on mission type orders emphasizes to subordinate leaders the results to be attained. In order to function effectively in the Army's Unified Land Operations operating environment, these leaders must receive the best training available to enable them to successfully carry out mission oriented orders.
