More Information

An After Action Review (AAR) is a professional discussion of an event, focused on performance standards, that enables radio operators to discover for themselves what happened, why it happened, and how to sustain strengths and improve on weaknesses. It is a tool leaders and units can use to get maximum benefit from every incident or project.

1. What was planned?
- Review the intent of the mission
- Key task assignments.
- Desired "End State" (what does "Right" look like).

2. What actually happened?
- Establish the facts
- Provide your perspective to build a shared picture of what happened.

3. Why did it happen?
- Analysis of cause and effect
- Focus on WHAT, not WHO.
- Explain what occurred.

4. What are we going to do next time?
- Correct Weaknesses - Focus on items you can fix, rather than external forces outside of your control.
- Sustain/Maintain Strengths - Identify areas where groups are performing well and should sustain. This will help repeat success and create a balanced approach to the AAR."
