Question Answer
What is an Exercise management program? is the ongoing process of overseeing and integrating a variety of exercises over time. An effective exercise program helps organizations maximize efficiency, resources, time, and funding by ensuring that exercises are part of a coordinated, integrated approach to building, sustaining, and delivering core capabilities.
Effective exercise program management promotes a multi-year approach to: • Engaging elected and appointed officials. • Establishing multi-year exercise program priorities • Developing a multi-year TEP. • Maintaining a rolling summary of exercise outcomes. • Managing exercise program resources.
Multi-year Exercise Program Priorities Exercising is a continual process where previous risk assessments, jurisdictional and threat changes are analyzed to establish new preparedness goals to be evaluated in the next series of exercises.
The multiyear approach is driven by these steps: • Engaging elected and appointed officials • Establishing multiyear exercise program priorities • Developing a multi-year Training and Exercise Plan (TEP) • Maintaining a rolling summary of exercise outcomes • Managing exercise program resources
Progressive Approach Is a series of exercises tied to a set of common program priorities. Each exercise builds on previous exercises using more sophisticated simulation techniques or requiring more preparation time, personnel, and planning.
4 Types of Discussion-based Exercises • Seminar • Workshop • Tabletop Exercise (TTX) • Game
Seminar Seminars provide an overview into strategies, plans, policies, or procedures. Seminars can be valuable when an entity is developing new plans or making changes to existing plans or procedures.
Workshop Workshops are more structured than seminars. Participant attendance and collaboration from relevant stakeholders is essential to obtain consensus and produce effective plans, procedures, and agreements.
Tabletop Exercise (TTX) They facilitate conceptual understanding, identify strengths, and areas for improvements, and/or achieving changes in perceptions. Participants are encouraged to problem-solve together through in-depth discussion. An effective TTX comes from active participants and their assessment of recommended revisions to current plans, policies, and procedures.
Game A simulation of operations that often involves two or more teams using rules, data, and procedures designed to depict an actual or hypothetical situation. Identifying critical decision-making points is a major factor in the success of games.
Operations-based Exercises • Drill • Functional Exercise (FE) • Full-Scale Exercise (FSE)
