Additionally, the support extends to contributing to the development of the Joint Training Plan (JTP).

The contracting officer overseeing this acquisition is James A. Knight. The location of performance is Peterson AFB in Colorado, and the contract aims to ensure continuous exercise planning and execution support to maintain the readiness and operational capabilities of NORAD and USNORTHCOM through this interim period.
