1. AAR Policy
Instructional tradecraft: Define when an AAR is mandatory, draft timelines, and review deadlines.
- Mandate: An AAR is mandatory within [N] hours of engagement termination, any EAP activation, or any reportable security incident.
- Timelines: Draft completed within [N] hours by Detail Leader; Review Board convened by Operations Manager within [N] days.
- Dissemination: The finalized AAR is the ART-after-action-report artifact; beyond the Review Board it feeds PIR management (EP-019), the training and readiness program (EP-029), and the lessons-ingestion pipeline (AGT-010), which proposes doctrine diffs for owner review.
2. Facilitation Method
Instructional tradecraft: Outline the timeline reconstruction and chronolog. Grade all sources per Admiralty.
- Method: structured review answering:
- What was planned?
- What actually happened?
- Why was there a difference?
- What do we sustain?
- What do we improve?
2.1 Chronological Timeline Reconstruction
| Timestamp | Event Description | Sourced From | Admiralty Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| [HH:MM:SS] | [Event Detail] | [Log / Audio / Video] | [A1-F6] |
| [HH:MM:SS] | [Event Detail] | [Log / Operator Account] | [B2] |
3. Metrics Block
- Medical Response latency: [MINUTES / SECONDS] from trigger to evacuation.
- Comms Failures: [COUNT] radio drops or signal dropouts.
- Advance Accuracy: [COUNT] discrepancies between advance report and actual site layout.
- Near-Misses: [COUNT] security boundary close-calls.
4. Incident Cross-Reference
- Related EAP log: [REF ID].
- Related Daily Brief: [REF ID].
5. Corrective Action Register
Instructional tradecraft: Record all corrective actions, assigning owner roles and verification methods (I/A/D/T).
| # | Finding | Root Cause | Corrective Action | Owner Role | Due Date | Verification | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [e.g. Driver route error] | [GPS signal loss] | [Mandatory route card printout] | Lead Driver | [YYYY-MM-DD] | Test | [Open / Closed] |
6. Doctrine Feedback Loop
Instructional tradecraft: Detail the trigger rules that update the parent post orders, PACE, and PIRs.
- Rule A: Any communication failure updates the PACE plan (EP-011) failover triggers.
- Rule B: Access control lapses directly update EP-009 Post Orders.
- Rule C: New POI tactics immediately update the Standing PIRs in EP-019.
7. Distribution & Retention
- Distribution: Operations Manager, Team Leader, Detail Leader.
- Retention Period: Retained securely for [N] years post-engagement.
