For more detail, see Objective 2, Deliverable 7.
Virtual Course: The IIR-prepared proposal for developing a seven-lesson, module-based Fundamentals of Task Force Operations virtual training, utilizing chosen vendor Vivayic, was approved by BJA and a budget modification and GAM submitted to BJA program office. Once approved, IIR coordinated with Vivayic to develop a statement of work for this effort, as well as finalized a contract with Vivayic. IIR held several planning calls, process overview, and initial content plan calls with Vivayic.

Course progress will be reported in the next reporting period.
