         under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9113M-06-R-0001, for meteorological
         support services (MSS) at the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll/Reagan Test Site

         USAKA/RTS   is a Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) of the Department of


         'The ITCZ is the region that circles the earth, near the equator, where the trade
         winds of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere come together, which causes
         unique and varying weather patterns. See http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov.
