The purpose of exercise evaluation is to assess the ability to meet exercise objectives through conducting a Tabletop Exercise (TTX).
Evaluation of the exercise is limited to observation of exercise play and the ability to meet exercise objectives. Individual players and participants are not evaluated.
In conjunction with data collected from the TTX hotwash and TTX participant feedback forms, evaluation of exercises utilizing an Exercise Evaluation Guide (EEG) allows for the development of a formal After-Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) which allows for the documentation of strengths, areas for improvement, and corrective actions.
This allows organizations to become informed about the steps and actions necessary to improve plans, build and sustain capabilities, and maintain readiness.
