Operation Arctic Heat is a series of structured case exercises designed to promote and capitalize on graduate-level concepts in the planning and conduct of contingency and expeditionary contracting events. The case exercises utilize the most current strategic, operational, and tactical directives and guidance as their foundations and supporting structure, including, but not limited to, Joint Publication 4-10, Joint Publication 5-0, and Operational Contract Support directives, while capitalizing on advanced graduate pedagogy. The cases are designed to complement briefings and lectures, in-class discussions, and student readings contained in the Naval Postgraduate School's MN3318 Contingency Contracting course, and the Defense Acquisition University's CON234 and CON334 courses. As part of the DoD, Coast Guard, and Civilian Agency Arctic mission, hereafter called Multi-Agency Arctic Mission (MAAM), a military/civilian environmental monitoring team will be positioned in the Arctic for purposes of monitoring important climatic, atmospheric, and oceanic changes occurring in the Arctic regions for an indefinite period of time. The mission will consist of 80 persons, along with over 16 tons of sensitive test and observational gear, and 20 tons of habitability support material. The time-phased scenarios of this case exercise are as follows: Phase Zero -- Initial Strategy and Planning for Expeditionary Operations; Phase One -- Multi-Agency Arctic Mission (MAAM) Deployed for Arctic for Expeditionary Operations; Phase Two -- Build Up -- MAAM Main Research Group Deployed for Arctic for Expeditionary Operations, Additional Follow-on Teams Arriving and Operating in Theater; Phase Three -- Sustainment -- MAAM Expanded Research Group in Full Operation in Arctic for Expeditionary Operations; Phase Four -- Termination and Redeployment -- MAAM Expanded Research Group Re-Deployed, Leaving 15-person Team in-place for Continued Expeditionary Operations.
