Wrap-Around Support and Solution Development
Personnel Support
Role Player Support
SPTF can provide varied role player support for surveillance detection modules and other scenario-based elements. For surveillance detection and scenarios, SPTF uses role players with culturally appropriate theatrics and attire to make the simulated circumstances as realistic as possible and to achieve specific program objectives. These role players are also available to conduct surveillance. For both types of events, role players generally receive advance briefings regarding scenarios and expectations. For surveillance detection modules, role players also give debriefings on students’ ability to detect role players’ mobile observation. SPTF can also provide specialized tactical role players for Combatives, Force-on-Force and similar types of events. These tactical role players are either former law enforcement or military, usually from a specialized unit. These role players are comfortable in the utilization of simulated munitions and explosive devices, both offensively and used in a capacity against them. SPTF hires new role players with regularity to guarantee a tactically up-to-date stable of role player capacity.
On-Site Fuel Supply
SPTF’s efficient fueling services on site allow events to take place without interruption. All vehicles are refueled on site using SPTF’s 10,000-gallon fuel supply of gasoline and a 2000-gallon fuel supply of on-road diesel for rapid refueling during operations. SPTF has a Fuel Master System that provides up-to-the-minute fuel information. Each user and each vehicle have an ID number; both numbers must be entered each time a vehicle is fueled, and accurate accountability of fuel dispensed is electronically recorded. This system provides accurate data for fuel consumption and identifies quantities to be accurately and efficiently captured.
Office Space/Classrooms
SPTF provides multiple structures with offices and classroom spaces. Some buildings even offer semi-private or private offices in addition to fully furnished cubicles with desks, chairs, and storage drawers. Each office space includes restrooms and a breakroom/kitchen area complete with microwave, full-sized refrigerator, coffee machine, sink with hot and cold water, tables, and chairs. All classrooms have tables and chairs and can be configured for any style meeting or need. All classrooms include flat screen televisions, Wi-Fi internet connectivity, A/V connections to television screens, and computer terminal. Full-time on-site IT support is available during regular working hours. In addition to what is already on-site, regular development occurs at SPTF to meet customer needs.

SPTF buildings are configured to accommodate multiple applications in addition to traditional classroom/office space. Several buildings include open areas accessible by roll-up or double doors suitable for storage, scenarios, and planning. These spaces can be specifically outfitted to meet customer needs, to include building modifications, special equipment installation and support, etc.

Training Vehicles
Vehicle Maintenance
SPTF has extensive on-site vehicle repair and maintenance facilities that provide continuous training support with a dedicated quality assurance manager on-site. The 9,600 square foot maintenance shop is fully equipped with ten lifts, three welders, overhead service modules, a completely stocked parts room, a transmission rebuild station, metal fabrication equipment and a wide range of required smaller tools. Spare rebuilt engines, transmissions, and major driveline components are always stocked. SPTF maintains an inventory of spare vehicles for every course. SPTF employs ASE certified personnel in this area, which includes thirteen mechanics familiar with every aspect of SPTF vehicle maintenance.
Mechanics have an average of nine or more years of experience repairing and maintaining armored and other training vehicles for U.S. Government, military, and other clients. SPTF also has vehicle detailing staff that wash all training vehicles and ensure they are fully cleaned prior to the start of training. The double bay cleaning area is compliant with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards; SPTF can thus perform vehicle detailing regardless of weather.
Defensive/Evasive Driving Vehicles
All vehicles are thoroughly inspected in preparation for high-speed and defensive driving maneuver training. SPTF spends four to six hours conducting a 64-point checklist inspection of all interior and exterior parts of each vehicle. During the initial checklist inspection, items not in precisely specified conditions are replaced. These vehicles are well-maintained with air-conditioning and heating systems, all of which are equipped with front and rear window defogging/defrosting systems. Vehicles are inspected before each class. All vehicles are modified and strengthened specifically for high-speed and evasive maneuvers training.
