COLAR Program Overall Rating Excellent Management Excellent The Contractor provided aerial administrative and maintenance support during February to FOB Tolemaida FOL Tumaco and FOL Larandia Additionally during February the Contractor provided aerial support to COLNM's Plan Patriota missions to San Jose and Larandia Contractor also provided aerial support to a temporary FOL in Neiva for Medevac and mission support for the 9 h Brigade This last mission to Neiva was clearly beyond contractual requirements in that the Contractor's Operation Manager clearly used his experience and knowledge of the lack of pre-planning on the part of the Colombian Military to correctly foresee that complications would arise with this simple one day mission This simple medevac mission 12 UNCLASSIFIED I UNCLASSIFIED grew into a much larger project and without the Contractor's Operations Manager foreseeing this possibility and correctly sending forward both operations and maintenance personnel along with the aircraft and flight crews this mission would not have ended successfully Clearly the Contractor's Management Team sustained support well in excess of contractual requirements The Contractor's noted mission flexibility was again highlighted this month The Contractor was able to sustain aerial supportby providing a QRF Quick Reaction Force that included slick aircraft gun ships and a Command and Control aircraft directly in support of ERADICATION spray efforts in the departments of Narino and Caqueta while continuing to provide aircraft for troop movements and re-supply efforts in direct support of the Counter Drug Brigade The Contractor continued to provide outstanding logistical and planning support with movements of FARP's from one location to another rapidly With the culmination of a HVT target near Mitu all equipment including FARP equipment and maintenance equipment was quickly reassembled in Larandia for the next HVT target Clearly the Contractor's logistical section is providing outstanding support i The Contractor continued to support CD Brigade missions in Tumaco and Larandia as Contractor was tasked with providing aerial assets and personnel for Operation Dignity near San Jose Miraflores and Mitu Contractor's efforts paid off in the mission's successful culmination The Contractor also provided outstanding support to the Colombian Army during a second HVT mission in the same month Their efforts in providing aerial assets and personnel were critical in the successful termination of this mission in capturing Sonja Manpower Utilization Excellent During February the Contractor moved personnel and aerial assets to Larandia from Tolemaida and Tumaco in direct support of 2 separate HVT missions in addition to supporting a highvisibility medevac mission to Neiva All this was conducted while supporting requirements the the FOB in Tolemaida and the FOLs located in Tumaco Larandia and San Jose This support was well beyond contract requirements The Contractor completed hiring and training of two Colombian local nationals in February as assistant OPSCOs This action has enabled the Contractor to adequately staff current FOLs Two additional permanent OPSCOs are still required for future multiple HVT missions The Contractor has shown that it is committed to the nationalization process in contracting host country personnel in such critical positions as Operations Coordinators Technical Excellent i 13 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED The Contractor continued to provide aerial support for ERAD QRF COLAR Operations and the FOB at Tolemaida The planned support of ERAD operations required a minimum of seven UH-1 helicopters and a minimum of 1 UH-60 aircraft at FOL Larandia and FOL Tumaco These two QRF support packages combined with the additional task of supporting the CD Brigade operations tasked the daily availability of aircraft However Contractor and its operations staff successfully planned and executed both missions These forward locations at times shared assets to accomplish the mission The Contractor continued to support multiple FOLs movements to and from FOLs support for HVT missions and continued its daily normal operations in addition to completing AQC aircraft qualification course for nine new COLAR pilots Now that these nine new pilots are aircraft qualified in the UH-1N aircraft they are continuing with mission training This training is essential to maintain progress towards the goal of nationalization Also supported during this February in spite of the high use of aerial assets in the support of HVT missions was the continued use of UH-1H-11 aircraft by TAFT for it's mission to complete UH-lHI1 AQC training of new COLAR pilots The Contractor has managed assets and made adjustments to offset the problem of scarce aerial resources Even though available flight hours were reduced the Contractor's maintenance personnel continued to support HVT operational missions and pilot training requirements Operations Excellent Operations Planning Excellent The Contractor's vast experience in the coordination of Air Assault operations was used successfully in the planning and implementation of operations San Jose Calamar Miraflores and Mitu in direct support of COLMIL's Plan Patriota Their planning and coordination efforts included the movement of aircraft personnel and equipment from several locations to accommodate the mission out of San Jose and Larandia These efforts led to several successful and safe missions 4 Training and mentorship has aided in producing quality officers in COLAR One such example who was instrumental in the successful completion of is the HVT mission in Larandia against Sonya His actions in planning and using forethought in mission planning successfully avoided major problems during this mission and is further evidence of progress towards nationalization Operational Effectiveness Excellent The Contractor safely flew a total of 1622 3 up from1457 3 hours in January moved 2491 passengers up from 1291 and lifted over 183 227 pounds of cargo down from 219 000 These missions were flown with zero incidents 14 UNCLASSIFIED B6 UNCLASSIFIED The Contractor's support for the successful completion of 3 down from 8 medical evacuation missions continues to prove its commitment to humanitarian assistance on behalf of the -Department of State Air Wing All missions were completed with zero accidents or incidents Of special interest this last month was the medevac mission to Neiva This mission highlighted the Contractor's Operations Manager and his forethought in sending along with the aircraft and flight crews both operational and maintenance personnel When the mission continued into many days the presence of these support personnel allowed the mission to proceed without mishap Training and Institution Building Excellent Training Programs Excellent The Contractor flew a total of 546 3 hours for training up from 484 hours in the UH-1N UH111-II and UH 60L in Tolemaida_ These flight hours were flown in direct support of flight training Even though multiple aircraft were deployed to various FOL's training was still fully supported With multiple FOLs and many numerous air and support missions the Contractor was able to increase training hours from those flown in January The Contractor successfully completed the Aircraft Qualification Course for nine new COLAR pilots for the UH-1N Their continued training in Mission Training and Instrument Training' continues Contractor is dedicated to their training while still managing to fully support the high mission requirements at the FOLs in San Jose Larandia and Tumaco The Contractor has completed a PIC review board for new COLAR Pilots in Command Of ten pilots nominated for pilot in command only six were selected based upon recommendations of pilots instructors and commander's evaluations These six individual's initial pre-examinations were recently completed Their individual flight training will begin within the immediate future The selection of more COLAR pilots for PIC status is yet another successful step forward in the nationalization process Standardization Satisfactory Quality Control Satisfactory Implementation of the uality Control Pro rg am Satisfactory Continual Evaluation of Maintenance Practices Satisfactory l Accuracy of Maintenance Records Satisfactory Trainin Satisfactory 15 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Maintenance Satisfactory Maintenance Management supported missions in at three FOL's and the main base FOB at Tolemaida FOL's were supported in Tumaco Larandia Neiva and San Jose This support is well above the required two FOL's and one operating base as outlined in the contract Below are the specific OR rates for the entire fleet UH-1N UH-IN NMCM OR Rate 16 0% 73 4% - last month's rate was 17 1% last month's rate was 70 3% UH-1H11 NMCM UH-1HII OR Rate 6 8% 90 6% last month's

4% NMCS 0% last month's rate was 4 2 % NMCS percentages on the UH-1HII UH-60L and K-1200 were at an outstanding level in February Normal ranges for NMCS are approximately 8% To have percentages of less than 5% indicates outstanding work by logistics support KMAX percentages were brought down dramatically as PLL history began to improve and modification hardware was on hand UH-1N NMCS rate was over the allowed 10% NMCS due to increased demands for parts during phase inspections However in the last two months this percentage has dramatically decreased Material Accountabilitv Satisfactory 16 UNCLASSIFIED l UNCLASSIFIED Material Mana eg ment Satisfactory With the movement of repair parts back to Larandia after months of moving around Colombia the ability to perform Phased Inspections on UH-1N aircraft continues in two locations Larandia and Tolemaida Another example of Contractor's Logistical Management Staff making prudent decisions shortening time from Logistics to the End User SAFETY Excellent Flight Safety Excellent Ground Safety Excellent The Contractor had zero incidents and zero accidents for the month Safety records continue to be at an all time low over the last three months This level of safety helps promote morale and increase efficiency Safety officers seem to be present everywhere The safety attitude of both Contractor supervisors and employees continues to show that safety awareness is present at all levels Safety personnel offered classes to the COLAR Aviation Battalion personnel in an effort to increase safety awareness across Contractor and COLAR programs This offer was eagerly received by BABEL COLAR Commanders and their military personnel are now being trained in the same safety courses required for the Contractor which resulted in an additional 45 COLAR personnel trained This effort demonstrates the Contractor's willingness to carry over all aspects of the program through nationalization Coordination was made with the BABEL COLAR staff to train the COLAR Aviation Safety Officers This situation was discussed with LTC Murillo BABEL Commander and these courses are slated to begin soon The POI for these safety courses were written and approved by the BABEL This is yet another example of assisting COLAR personnel in attaining the nationalization goal With multiple moves to forward locations the ALSE technicians must insure coordination with the Operations Manager and FOL OPSCOs to insure that sufficient equipment arrives with the crew crews A serious complication to this ASLE inventory and maintenance process is the number of different kinds of the missions being performed by the Contractor The Contractor's ALSE technicians have quickly adapted to the different kinds of missions and have insured that all locations have sufficient equipment for both training and operational missions Even with a slow response in getting the required NVG inspection equipment back from calibration ALSE personnel worked long and diligent hours to provided needed ALSE equipment to flight crews This hard work demonstrates the desire of the ALSE personnel to provide safe equipment regardless of problems outside their control 17 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Cost Satisfactory Eradication Program Overall Rating Excellent Management Excellent The Contractor's Site Manager used excellent judgment and management with the Colombia Eradication Program The Contractor spayed over 12 500 hectares of coca for the month of February surpassing the 12 000 hectare goal and over 100 hectares of poppy another excellent month INL A Continues to be concerned about the vacancies of approved and open positions especially in the maintenance and operations arenas This is the one factor that has downgraded management from an outstanding rating to excellent Technical Satisfactory Operations Excellent A total of 12 569 hectares of coca and 110 hectares of poppy were eradicated for the month compared to 15 822 hectares for coca and 0 hectares for poppy for the same period of the previous year While this is not a record pace set backs due to weather and aircraft availability have been overcome to meet and exceed requirements The coca goal for the month of February was 12 000 hectares Efforts of the Contractor's site management and their efforts should be recognized The Communications Specialist identified a cost-effective solution for internal mobile communications at FOLs This solution relies primarily on existing equipment which needs only refurbishment while augmented by only a small number of new radios and repeaters This solution provides a significant cost savings while increasing the efficiency of field operations The Communications Specialist assisted in identifying solutions to provide portable selfcontained mobile communications systems for deployment to COLAR FOLs These 18 UNCLASSIFIED r UNCLASSIFIED recommended systems are cost effective and consist of units currently standardized throughout the program and repairable locally This is an example of the Contractor's ability to devise creative inexpensive solutions Operations Planning Excellent The Contractor was suffering from incomplete and inaccurate cartographic data and was highlighted in January's award fee input The Contractor has taken positive steps to correct the errors and product quality is improving The Contractor has taken on the additional responsibility for the threat data on the maps and ensuring that all intelligence arrives in the FOL's without delay Although there are obstacles to negotiate the Contractor continues to make progress in all aspects related to ensuring that all information is accurate and timely O erational Effectiveness Excellent A total of 12 569 hectares of coca and 110 hectares of poppy were eradicated for the month compared to 15 822 hectares for coca and 0 hectares for poppy for the same period of the previous year While this is not a record pace set hacks due to weather and aircraft availability have been overcome to meet and exceed requirements Coca goal for the month of February was 12 000 hectares While still early in the year the contractor is on track to meet and exceed 2004 goal of 130 000 hectares of coca and 3 000 hectares on poppy i Training and Institution Building Satisfactory E UA would encourage the Contractor to continue to fill needed positions in the standardization I arena with highly-qualified personnel With the immense size of the program in Colombia key positions cannot continue to go unfilled INUA is sensitive however to the Contractor's inability to recruit at present due to the status of the current contract and the recompete Quality Control Satisfactory Maintenance Satisfactory While maintenance Operational Readiness rates here show that the Contractor is within contract requirements bar the OV-10's the number of hours for depot repair is extremely high Battle damage is considerably down this year in comparisons to last and yet aircraft availability is decreasing The cause is the aging fleet of helicopters and OV-10's Immediate steps will need to be taken to keep the aircraft serviceable for future operations and to reduce cost with commercial aviation upgrades and retrofits The Contractor however must fill approved and open maintenance positions to ensure continued spray mission success 19 UNCLASSIFIED I I UNCLASSIFIED AT-802 AT-802 C-208 C-208 C-27 C-27 OV-10 OV-10 T-65 T-65 UH-IN UH-1N last month's rate was 6 8 % NMCM 12 8% OR Rate 80 4% -75% required last month's rate was
