    4. Types of Contractors Theater Support (Contingency Contracting) Provide Goods, Services, and Minor Construction, Usually from the Local Commercial Sources External Support Prearranged Contracts to Support the Mission Army Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) Air Force Civil Augmentation Program (AFCAP) Navy Construction Capability (CONCAP) Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) Systems Contractors Support Fielded Vehicles, Weapon Systems, Aircraft, Command and Control (C2) Infrastructure Theater Support Theater support contractors support deployed operational forces under prearranged contracts, or contracts awarded from the mission area, by contracting officers serving under the direct contracting authority of the Army principal assistant responsible for contracting (PARC) or other Service/joint/multinational chief of contracting responsible for theater support contracting in a particular geographical region. Theater-support contractors provide goods, services, and minor construction, usually from the local commercial sources, to meet the immediate needs of operational commanders. Theater support contracts are the type of contract typically associated with contingency contracting. External Support External support contractors provide a variety of combat and combat service support to deployed forces. External support contracts are let by contracting officers from support organizations such as United States (US) Army Materiel Command (USAMC) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). They may be prearranged contracts or contracts awarded during the contingency itself to support the mission and may include a mix of US citizens, third-country nationals (TCN) and local national subcontractor employees. External support contracts include the Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) administered through USAMC's logistics support elements (LSE), sister Service LOGCAP equivelent programs the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, commercial sealift support administered by the US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), and leased real property and real estate procured by the USACE. Systems Contractors System contractors support many different Army materiel systems under pre-arranged contracts awarded by the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA[ALT]) program executive officer (PEO)/program manager (PM) offices and USAMC's Simulations, Training and Instrumentation Command (STICOM). Supported systems include, but are not limited to, newly or partially fielded vehicles, weapon systems, aircraft, command and control (C2) infrastructure, such as the Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS) and standard Army management information systems (STAMIS), and communications equipment. System contractors, made up mostly of US citizens, provide support in garrison and may deploy with the force to both training and real-world operations. They may provide either temporary support during the initial fielding of a system, called interim contracted support (ICS), or long-term support for selected materiel systems, often referred to as contractor logistic support (CLS). technical maintenance of weapon systems. maintenance, technical assistance, and equipment support. Contractor personnel deployed almost at the same time as the first U.S. troops and provided support mainly at echelons above corps. Some contractor field service representatives and contact teams were used in the corps and division area, and a few went into Iraq and Kuwait with combat elements. The ICT has defined three types of contractors and documented the definitions in FM's 100-10-2 and 100-21. Theater support contractors support deployed operational forces under prearranged contracts or under contracts awarded from the mission area by contracting officers serving under the direct contracting authority of the theater principal authority responsible for contracting (PARC). Theater support contractors provide goods and services and perform minor construction to meet the immediate needs of operational commanders. Contracting officers deploy immediately before and during the operation to procure goods, services, and minor construction, usually from local vendors or nearby offshore sources. Theater support contracting occurs according to the theater PARC's contracting support plan. This plan, which is an appendix to the logistics annex of the operation plan, campaign plan, or operation order, governs all procurement of goods, services, and minor construction within the area of operations. External support contractors provide support to deployed operational forces that is separate and distinct from either theater support or support provided by system contractors (see below). They may operate under pre-arranged contracts or contracts awarded during the contingency itself to support the mission. Contracting officers who award and administer external support contracts retain unique contracting authority derived from organizations other than the theater PARC. The Army Materiel Command (AMC), for example, provides commercial depot support by contracts through its commodity commands. Other organizations that provide external support contracts include the LOGCAP Program Office; the U.S. Transportation Command, which provides Civil Reserve Air Fleet and commercial sealift to support the theater; and the Army Corps of Engineers, which procures leased real property and real estate. These organizations retain contracting authority from their parent commands for those specific functions. Commanders and their staffs include these commands in their mission planning; they should include support appendices in the applicable staff section annex to the operation plan, campaign plan, or operation order. For example, the staff engineer coordinates Army Corps of Engineers procurement of real estate and real property, and the joint force transportation planner coordinates with U.S. Transportation Command component commands to monitor their assets. External support contractors establish and maintain liaison with the theater PARC as they conduct their unique support missions. They procure goods and services they need in the theater in accordance with the theater PARC's contracting support plan. System contractors support deployed operational forces under pre-arranged contracts awarded by program executive officers (PEO's), program managers (PM's), and AMC to provide specific support to materiel systems throughout their life cycle during peacetime and contingency operations. These systems include, but are not limited to, vehicles, weapon systems, aircraft, command and control infrastructure, and communications equipment. Contracting officers working for the PM's and AMC's major subordinate commands administer their system contractors' functions and operations through their contracts. AMC and the individual PM's maintain contracting authority for those contracts, plan required support for their systems, and coordinate that support with the supported commander in chief's planning staff. The contracting organization with responsibility for system contractors establishes and maintains liaison with the theater PARC or senior Army contracting official in theater as specified in the theater contracting support plan. These contractors procure goods and services they need in the theater as stipulated in the theater PARC's contracting support plan and published in the operation plan, campaign plan, or operation order. Note that these definitions do not include the term "contingency contractors," a term that has been in common use. This is because the term is not sufficiently precise for doctrine and policy publications; all contractors supporting military operations in an area of operations are contingency contractors.

    6. Functions Contractors Cannot Perform Command and Control of U.S. Military and Civilian Personnel Armed Combat Contractors have supported, and will continue to support, the Army across the full spectrum of military operations, and they will be used in virtually all locations on the battlefield. However, there are three functions that contractors, by law, cannot perform Armed combat. The United States does not contract out its warfighting. Command and control of U.S. military and civilian personnel. Command and control is a uniquely military function that cannot be contracted. Contracting. The Army does not hire contractors to perform its contracting function. Except for these limitations, contractors can perform any Army function. This means that virtually all Army CS and CSS functions potentially are contractible. Today, contractors routinely perform such CS and CSS functions as transportation, maintenance, medical support, signal support, real estate management, and mortuary affairs.

The new contract was awarded on 4 Feb 2002, also to RMS AFCAP is managed by AFCESA and administered by Tyndalls Contracting Squadron. The new contract is an 8-year, cost plus award-fee contract. An award fee is the contractors primary incentive to perform. This award fee can vary between 4 to 6% of the total amount of a project called a task order depending on the nature of the work. An Award Fee Board from AFCESA meets every 6 months to determine the total award fee amount of all the task orders performed during that period. Though the board has the final decision on how much of the award fee the contractor receives, the decision is based primarily on inputs given by the customers overseeing each individual task order. The contract has a basic year and seven option years. During AFCAPs basic year, the contractor was tasked to develop a Worldwide Management Plan. This is an extensive plan that explains in detail how the contractor would respond to any of the numerous contingencies. It is similar in nature to a Base Civil Engineer Contingency Response Plan but includes much more such as a database of worldwide resources available to them and the plans to execute contingencies in the Services career field. Any governmental agency may act as the requestor or customer for AFCAP support. Typically, Air Force Major Command Civil Engineers request a task order but there have been others. For example, the Immigration & Naturalization Service, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance have also been AFCAP customers. The contract allows for up to 404 million dollars of task orders through the life of the contract. Customers are responsible for funding individual task orders, while AFCESA pays for the RMS management team and office in Panama City, FL ($2.7M). We have awarded just over $150 million in AFCAP task orders in the first 5 years of its existence.

An Award Fee Board from AFCESA meets every 6 months to determine the total award fee amount of all the task orders performed during that period. Though the board has the final decision on how much of the award fee the contractor receives, the decision is based primarily on inputs given by the customers overseeing each individual task order. The contract has a basic year and seven option years. During AFCAPs basic year, the contractor was tasked to develop a Worldwide Management Plan. This is an extensive plan that explains in detail how the contractor would respond to any of the numerous contingencies. It is similar in nature to a Base Civil Engineer Contingency Response Plan but includes much more such as a database of worldwide resources available to them and the plans to execute contingencies in the Services career field. Any governmental agency may act as the requestor or customer for AFCAP support. Typically, Air Force Major Command Civil Engineers request a task order but there have been others. For example, the Immigration & Naturalization Service, the Department of Justice, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance have also been AFCAP customers. The contract allows for up to 404 million dollars of task orders through the life of the contract. Customers are responsible for funding individual task orders, while AFCESA pays for the RMS management team and office in Panama City, FL ($2.7M). We have awarded just over $150 million in AFCAP task orders in the first 5 years of its existence.
