3.0 BACKGROUND:
3.1 The IFEB Branch develops a multitude of techniques, applications, system engineering, site support, support to Department of Defense (DOD), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), United States Forces Korea (USFK), Eighth United States Army (EUSA) 2nd Division, United States Army, Korea, Joint Forces Intelligence Command (JFIC), and support to Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome Research Site projects.
3.1.1 The bulk of the work performed under previous orders during the past several years has been operational support to the Commands in Korea, such as USFK/EUSA and 2nd Division. A smaller portion of the work is operational support being accomplished at DIA and JFIC. The operational Korean work continues to be accomplished at the Korean user sites, with minimal work being accomplished at U.S. facilities. Work for the DIA, JFIC and AFRL Rome Research Site will be accomplished at U.S. sites. The work anticipated under the contract is primarily operational, with some software Research and Development anticipated.
