    The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines requirements for contracting subject matter experts (SMEs) to support the Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF) Training Liaison Officers at Maritime Expeditionary Security Groups ONE and TWO. The MESF is tasked with securing maritime infrastructure worldwide, supporting both operational readiness and training for Maritime Security Squadrons TWO, THREE, and FOUR (MSRON-2, MSRON-3, MSRON-4). The urgent need for contractor assistance arises due to a lack of internal training expertise, which hinders the effectiveness of their operational training plans. The contract spans a 12-month base period with options for two additional years, requiring contractors to aid the MSRON N7s in managing training resources, ensuring personnel readiness, and meeting compliance with Navy standards. Key responsibilities include facilitating training schedules, supporting weapon qualification, overseeing command training team (CTT) development, and assisting in readiness reporting. The document details travel requirements, security clearances, and outlines specific deliverables and reporting structures related to training assessments and personnel development, aiming to enhance the operational capacity of the MESF in executing major combat operations. This PWS reflects a structured effort to integrate contractor expertise into military training processes to ensure mission success.
