Dear Mark Wade,

Hostile Control Tactics is pleased to offer Convoy Transportation Security Services to the Joint Contracting Command

Iraq/Afghanistan. Included in this package are descriptions and costs of HCT services that comply with the specification

and the spirit of the solicitation.

We are pleased to announce a teaming arrangement with two outstanding organizations who will assist us in the

implementation and delivery of services should we become the contract award recipient.

Our partners include Phillips Defense Consultants, lead by former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense (AT&L), Major

General John F. Phillips (retired) and Sector One Security Solutions, managed by Kenneth L. Sanford. Mr. Sanford

brings twenty years of logistics management expertise acquired serving the US Marine Corps. He recently formed Sector

One Security after leaving DynCorp International as Senior Technical Recruiter. He managed recruiting activities,

organized training agendas and successfully deployed over five hundred civilian security personnel into Iraq for the State

Department’s $6 billion WPPS high threat diplomatic security project.

Hostile Control Tactics is a recognized international leader in high threat security consulting and special operations tactical

training. In 2006, we trained and mobilized over 300 multi-national close protection teams for security operations in the

middle-east. We are confident that our team can deliver the most effective security services approach with the greatest

value.

This proposal reflects our best offer and we carefully comply with your instructions. It is valid for 30 calendar days

from the due date of July 3, 2007. Please contact me if you need clarification or additional forms completed. We

remain ready and committed to the mission of Joint Contracting Command Iraq/Afghanistan.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH

1.1

HCT management understands the technical requirements, goals and objectives of successful protective security detail

operations. Since 2003, Hostile Control Tactics has recruited, trained, completed pre-employment screening and co-

deployed more than three hundred (300) multi-national civilian security contractors for both DoS Diplomatic Security

Services (DSS) and US DoD/High Threat missions.

Our management approach lays out an integrated strategy to promote a rapid and accurate exchange of information

between: our Project Manager, the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer, the in-country

government representative, the Logistics Management Control Center (LMCC) and HCT Corporate Office in Virginia.

HCT’s primary objective is to ensure safe and expedient movement of security personnel, vehicles and cargo

according to terms and conditions outlined in the Scope of Work. HCT tactical strategies and operational procedures

will:

Prevent loss of life or injury to personnel

Counter, deter, detect and respond to insurgent/terrorist attacks against vehicles and in transit in cargo

utilizing theater appropriate escalating Rules for Use of Force and Rules of Engagement.

Register convoy movements with PCO LMCC, and a GTR shall be completed and sent to PCO LMCC 72

hours prior to movement. An additional copy will be sent to the JCC-I Contracting Officer.

Report all loads/pickups, delays and deliveries to the JCC-I Contracting Officer.

Provide detailed timely reports with respect to Task Order missions, site visits/analysis or pickups,

coordination of mission related activities with LMCC/COR and Contracting Officer, weapon firing

incidents to ROC, and the submission of invoices (DD Form 250) for payment.

Maintain an efficient and flow of communications between HCT and government contracting

representatives.

HCT’s management approach emphasizes increased decision making authority for our Project Manager in Baghdad; it

places a greater emphasis on utilizing qualified special operations capable personnel in the planning and execution of

proactive surveillance/surveillance detection operations.

This approach will reduce PSD risk susceptibility by building additional cordons of security in the advance planning

stages of security operations (both aerial and ground), improve the safety of in-transit operations by providing real-

time feedback of potential threats to PSD teams in-route, thereby impacting the overall success of PSD security

missions. HCT employs techniques, concepts, and controls that provide the highest likelihood for mission success.


01 June 2007

MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY

Local Program Management Structure

Corporate Leadership

Providing expert guidance and leadership to our Local Project Management Staff (LPMS) is former US Deputy

Undersecretary of Defense (AT&L) Major General John F. Phillips (retired).

John Phillips is an active partner with HCT, fully committed to the success of this contracting effort.

Bringing more than thirty years of US government and private-sector contracting and acquisition expertise to bear,

General John F. Phillips consults with LPMS located in Prince George, Virginia. His input with regards to technical

management, operations planning, service implementation, contract compliance, financial accountability and

performance sustainment strategies is beneficial to this project.

Steven Bernal is a ten year US Navy Veteran, a twelve year Police SWAT Operations Tactical Instructor with three

years of in-country (Iraq) PSD Team Leadership experience. Steven Bernal was the PSD Team Leader responsible for

the safety of former Ambassador Paul Bremer while contracted to the US Department of State with Blackwater USA.

Steven Bernal will serve as Senior Local Program Manager reporting directly to John Phillips and other key LPMS in

Virginia.

In-Country Management

Tim L. Bullock will serve as In-Country Project Manager. Tim will be supported by a Deputy Project Manager and a

Business Manager. Tim Bullock will be given full authority and autonomy to make programmatic, contractual, and

financial decisions regarding the project, without the need to first obtain approval from HCT corporate level decision

makers in Virginia.

Timothy Bullock will work closely with the COR, Contracting Officer and Logistics Management Control Center

(LMCC) to coordinate program requirements and supply guidance to personnel on the ground.

In-Country Operations Management

As part of his responsibilities for overall project management, Tim Bullock will perform the following management

and leadership functions:

Supervise project personnel

Liaise between the COR, LMCC, government representatives and HCT corporate office

Commit and allocate personnel resources

Notify the COR of all relevant matters pertaining to movement and activities of the detail

Provide reports in accordance with TO and contract requirements

Serve as onsite Administrative Officer for HCT personnel operating in Iraq

The organizational chart shown below reflects our overall project organization. Breakout charts for each of the

functional areas are also provided in the following pages. HCT proposes augmenting security operations personnel

with support staff to address maintenance, house-keeping, logistics, HR, communications and medical concerns.

01 June 2007

Chain of Command

All operational elements will fall under the direct supervision of the DPM for Operations.

Each security detail and administrative support element will be assigned to a supervisor capable of handling the

management of subordinates at a ratio not greater than one-to-five.

Reporting Structure

HCT will implement a straightforward, bottom-to-top reporting structure that separates Scope of Work requirements

into the distinct categories of Operations, Support, and Business Management.

One Deputy Project Manager (DPM) will be assigned to Operations and the other DPM to Support, while a Business

Manager will be assigned to oversee finances, procurement, and other administrative aspects of the program. The

DPMs and Business Manager will report directly to the In-country Project Manager, who has overall responsibility for

the entire program.

HCT will assign a first-line supervisor for each operational element and support service. All line personnel within that

area will report directly to that supervisor. For example, all PSS personnel will report directly to their designated Shift

Leader. Shift Leaders will report to their assigned Detail Leader, who in turn will report to the DPM for Operations.

The DPM for Operations reports directly to the In-country Project Manager, who is responsible for all aspects of the

program. The In-country Project Manager will report directly to the Contracting Officer Representative, Contracting

Officer and Logistics Management Control Center for all operational matters, while reporting directly to HCT’s

Program Manager, Tim Bullock, for all administrative or contract administration issues. This streamlined reporting

chain provides the In-country Project Manager with the autonomy necessary to quickly react to mission requirements

while receiving support from the LPMO.

Reporting will be accomplished using one or more of the following methods:

Face-to-face report

Telephone contact

Email when/where appropriate

Deliverables and Reports

HCT will prepare and deliver all reports in accordance with all requirements in the table located in C.4.6.1 of the base

contract and the JCC-I/A Vendor Handbook published November 20, 2005. A copy of every report will be delivered

to HCT’s Program Manager, Timothy Bullock. Tim will track required reports and ensure that each is submitted on

time and in the prescribed format. A brief description of each report is provided below:



8

Lesson Plans

As new training requirements are identified, or when there is a need to modify current training curriculum, HCT

director of Training, Rick Rardon, will prepare the corresponding lesson plan in accordance with guidance from JCC-

I/A and the Scope of Work. Each new lesson plan will be reviewed by HCT staff as a quality control measure and

submitted to the LPMO for review and input. The proposed lesson plan will then be submitted to JCC-I/A for review

and approval. If further changes are required, HCT Senior Training Cadre will review those requirements to determine

how best to integrate instructions from JCC-I/A, and modify the lesson plan to comply with that guidance.

Training Reports

During the pre-employment screening process that occurs before a PSD training session, Sector One recruiters collect

each applicant’s resume biography form, review previous security or tactical certificates earned, evaluate military

and/or police training records and other documents to assess an individual’s level of tactical proficiency. These

documents together with progress reports generated by HCT Instructor/Trainers assist recruiters in determining the job

title or position offered to a course graduate.

Sector One Security Solutions will maintain an in-theater Training Record of each security operator. That training

record will contain; live-fire pistol score card (DA Form 88-R), rifle training score card (DA Form 5241), and an three

page Anti-terrorist Force Protection Report Card that reflects an individuals demonstrated tactical ability in mission

critical areas.

{See attachment below}. Copies on training reports will be made accessible on-demand to JCC-I/A, Contracting

Officers and Inspectors.

Incident Reports

At any time during contract execution, incidents may occur that are not anticipated, do not fall within the scope

of the operation, or may reflect negatively on the Government, HCT, or the Program Manager will minimize the

impact of such events. HCT commits to do the following:

1. HCT’s Program Manager will ensure that all leadership personnel at the LPMO and in the field receive

adequate training for their specific responsibilities. This will be accomplished either during pre-deployment

processing or in the field when promotions occur. In the case of field promotions, the In-country Project Manager

will be responsible for ensuring that training instruction is provided. A report of the training, including the date it

was conducted, the individual receiving the training, and the individual providing the training, will be prepared

and submitted to Timothy Bullock.

2. Timothy will follow-up with program supervisors to ensure that all personnel have received the required

training. Copies of our training reports will be made available to JCC-I/A upon request.

3. Incidents that could possibly affect mission capability, program or Government reputation, or general

morale will be immediately reported through the chain of command to Timothy Bullock.

4. Timothy will immediately notify JCC-I/A of all serious incidents, such as occurrences of weapons

discharge, attack, injury or death, anything of a negative nature, and incidents that would reflect negatively on

DoD, HCT or the RSO. Simultaneous notification will be made in-country by the Detail Leader or the Project

Manager to the RSO.

5. A follow-up investigation will be initiated at the next supervisory level above those involved in the

incident.

6. After the investigation is completed, a finalized report will be prepared and submitted to JCC-I/A via the

same chain of command described above.

Muster Report Accurate, timely reporting of these incidents will help reduce the frequency of unfavorable exposure, particularly

when unacceptable conduct or poor judgment is the source of the problem, by demonstrating a commitment to

higher behavioral standards. HCT’s commitment to professional standards of conduct has significantly reduced

these types of incidents among our employees, but we recognize there is still room for improvement. HCT will

work diligently to that end, which we believe will produce a better working relationship between HCT, JCC-I/A,

and the RSO’s office in-country.

This report provides JCC-I/A with an official roster of HCT employees to assist JCC-I/A in validating contractor

invoices. HCT’s in-country admin staff will maintain a daily list of employees in-country. The DPM for

Operations will maintain daily contact with Shift and Detail Leaders to ensure an accurate accounting of

personnel on the ground. Any changes will be identified and noted on this report, which will be submitted by the

DPM for Operations on the 10th

and 25th

of each month to JCC-I/A, the RSO, and the LPMO.

Monthly Contract Performance Report The purpose of this report will be to provide contract performance information to JCC-I/A. Input for this report

will be provided by the In-country Project and Deputy Project Managers, Detail Leaders, In-country Business

Manager, and the leadership staff at the LPMO. The report will be prepared at the LPMO and submitted to JCC-

I/A and the RSO using the provided format. Timothy Bullock will review this report for accuracy and

completeness prior to it’s being submitted on the 10th

of each month.

Monthly Operations Report

This report provides a summary of the month’s operational activities and incidents. Input will come primarily

from Shift and Detail Leaders. It will also provide a mechanism for making notifications of potential future

requirements and recommendations for possible solutions. Information will be submitted to the DPM for

Operations, who prepares the final report for submission to Timothy Bullock. Timothy will review the report for

accuracy and completeness and ensure that it is submitted by the 10th

of every month to JCC-I/A and the RSO.



14

Inventory Report

When new materials or equipment are received in-country, a quality inspection will be conducted by the

Logistics Manager, one or more of the ALSS, or a HCT Manager.

Receipts of equipment will be recorded in the inventory system, and the LPMO will be notified NLT close of

business the day after the item arrives. DPM for Support will formally report procurement activities on a

quarterly basis via the Government provided inventory format.

Quarterly reports will be prepared by the DPM for Support in accordance with the approved format and

submitted by the 10th of each quarter.

Semi-Annual Performance Report Information in this report will include a summary of staffing and the status of TO requirements. The report

will be prepared at the LPMO using input from a combination of relevant reports (such as monthly,

performance, and operations), and will also include information on emerging trends or recent incidents as

reported by program leadership. The information will be verified and validated by Timothy Bullock prior to

submission on the 10th

of every six-month period, and delivered to JCC-I/A and the RSO.

Annual Performance Report

In addition to performance information, this report will include an accounting of all inventory (GFE and

CFE), to include weapons, vehicles, and other equipment. Our LPMO office will prepare this report with input

from the in-country leadership. A final review and verification of accuracy and completeness will be

conducted by Timothy Bullock. The report will be submitted to JCC-I/A and the RSO on the 10th

day of the

month, one year after the official TO start date, and every option year thereafter.

Monthly Invoice Invoices provide detailed information related to costs incurred for program operations. They are the method

used by contractors to request payment for services and supplies, and are intended to give the Government

justification for reimbursement. We will submit the DD for 250 for invoicing purposes as specified in the

Scope of Work.

Our goal is to satisfy JCC-I/A requirements, maintain financial accountability and provide accurate, useful,

and compliant invoices with zero defects.
