It outlines exercise objectives and associated capabilities, linking expected outcomes to performance tasks under defined conditions. The document details participant roles (players, observers, facilitators, evaluators), the exercise structure with modules, functional group discussions, and a moderated plenary. It also provides evaluation guidance using Exercise Evaluation Guides and participant feedback to support an After-Action Report and Improvement Plan.","[Exercise Name]\nSituation Manual\n[Date]\nThis Situation Manual (SitMan) provides exercise participants with all the necessary tools for their roles in the exercise. Some exercise material is intended for the exclusive use of exercise planners, facilitators, and evaluators, but players may view other materials that are necessary to their performance. All exercise participants may view the SitMan.\nExercise Overview\nGeneral Information\nExercise Objectives and Capabilities\nThe following exercise objectives in Table 1 describe the expected outcomes for the exercise. The objectives are linked to capabilities, which are the means to accomplish a mission, function, or objective based on the performance of related tasks, under specified conditions, to target levels of performance. The objectives and aligned capabilities are guided by senior leaders and selected by the Exercise Planning Team.\nTable 1. Exercise Objectives and Associated Capabilities\nParticipant Roles and Responsibilities\nThe term participant encompasses many groups of people, not just those playing in the exercise. Groups of participants involved in the exercise, and their respective roles and responsibilities, are as follows:\nPlayers: Personnel who have an active role in discussing or performing their regular roles and responsibilities during the exercise. Players discuss or initiate actions in response to the simulated emergency.\nObservers: Do not directly participate in the exercise. However, they may support the development of player responses to the situation during the discussion by asking relevant questions or providing subject matter expertise.\nFacilitators: Provide situation updates and moderate discussions. They also provide additional information or resolve questions as required. Key Exercise Planning Team members also may assist with facilitation as subject matter experts (SMEs) during the exercise.\nEvaluators: Are assigned to observe and document certain objectives during the exercise. Their primary role is to document player discussions, including how and if those discussions conform to plans, polices, and procedures.\nExercise Structure\nThis exercise will be a multimedia, facilitated exercise. Players will participate in the following [insert number of modules] modules:\nModule 1: [Module name, e.g. Incident Notification]\nModule 2: [Module name]\nModule 3: [Module name]\nEach module begins with a multimedia update that summarizes key events occurring within that time period. After the updates, participants review the situation and engage in functional group discussions of appropriate [focus area] issues. For this exercise, the functional groups are as follows:\n[Functional group, e.g. Law Enforcement]\n[Functional group]\n[Functional group]\n[Functional group]\nAfter these functional group discussions, participants will engage in a moderated plenary discussion in which a spokesperson from each group will present a synopsis of the group’s actions, based on the scenario.\nExercise Guidelines\nThis exercise will be held in an open, no-fault environment wherein capabilities, plans, systems, and processes will be evaluated. Varying viewpoints, even disagreements, are expected.\nRespond to the scenario using your knowledge of current plans and capabilities (i.e., you may use only existing assets) and insights derived from your training.\nDecisions are not precedent setting and may not reflect your jurisdiction’s/ organization’s final position on a given issue. This exercise is an opportunity to discuss and present multiple options and possible solutions.\nIssue identification is not as valuable as suggestions and recommended actions that could improve [focus area] efforts. Problem-solving efforts should be the focus.\nThe assumption is that the exercise scenario is plausible and events occur as they are presented. All players will receive information at the same time.\nExercise Evaluation\nEvaluation of the exercise is based on the exercise objectives and aligned capabilities, ca","cbCaijYzl9g9KYyS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijYzl9g9KYyS","docx",43613,12,"English","en",105,"# Exercise Overview\n## General Information\n## Exercise Objectives and Capabilities\n## Participant Roles and Responsibilities\n## Exercise Structure\n## Exercise Guidelines\n## Exercise Evaluation\n# Module 1 -
