US ARMY WAR COLLEGE

CENTER OF STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP

ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH FELLOW AND WARGAME DEVELOPMENT

The Department of Strategic Wargaming (DSW) will utilize the skills provided by a contracted environmental security research fellow and a contracted wargame developer, to conduct research and develop a wargame focused on the future

human security impact on the indigenous base workers at Kwajalein Army Garrison in the Marshall Islands, as defined in this Performance Work Statement (see PART 5,Specific Tasks), to support research and the design and development of a wargame.

The Center for Strategic Leadership has not previously procured contractor support for environmental research or wargame development.

CURRENT REQUIREMENT.

Lot 1: The contractor will have the title of

Environmental Security Research Fellow. This contractor will work closely with the lead

principal investigator, Dr. Michele Devlin, on conducting research into the future human

security impact on the indigenous base workers who comprise the primary workforce for

Kwajalein Army Garrison in the Marshall Islands, and the likelihood that these critically

needed workers will remain in the Marshall Islands as it becomes submerged under

rising ocean levels. These workers are expected to experience a number of negative

human security issues that could have second and third order effects for the US Army

civilian workforce over the next 20 years as sea levels rise on Kwajalein and the

neighboring island of Ebeye, home to most of these base workers. The contractor will

be required to participate in research team forming, conduct of research, end of

research written report delivery and a final oral presentation(s).

Lot 2: The contractor

shall work with Professor of Environmental Security to determine the scope of a

professional wargame. Additionally, the contractor will leverage the work of the

researcher in Lot 1 in refining the scope of the wargame. The scope of the wargame

shall, at a minimum, include the elements of a wargame as defined in the USAWC

Strategic Wargaming Series Handbook, i.e., a Problem Statement, a Purpose

Statement, a statement of Objectives, and a statement of Research Questions

(collectively known as PPOR) to be addressed by the game. Estimated cost is

$250,000.00 for the period of performance, which shall be a 12-month period, starting

11 September 2023.

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
