TAM AAR Tactics, Techniques Procedures

• Good facilitation of an AAR ensures that all
  present get a chance to provide input and the AAR
  is not just a briefing of what happened.
  Facilitation opens discussion, allowing those
  present to participate and share ideas.

TAM AAR Tactics, Techniques Procedures

• Identify a note taker to capture highlights,
  issues, suspenses etc., which occur or are
  contracted during the AAR.
• After the Commander briefs Phase I (what occurred
  during IDT weekends in preparation for AT)
  facilitate a discussion covering things the unit
  needs to sustain and improve. Discussion should
  focus around tasks trained, leader validation and
  soldier level training during IDT in preparation
  for AT. Ask the unit what training best prepared
  them for AT, and what could be done to better
  prepare.

TAM AAR Tactics, Techniques Procedures

• When showing assessment and valuation of METL
  and supporting tasks, keep ratings covered up
  (Phase I II). Allow the leaders to tell the
  commander and evaluator what their assessments
  are (company, platoon squad). This facilitates
  discussion on the tasks, and insures the
  commander understands where and how his/her
  leaders rate themselves and their unit. Then
  present ratings.

TAM AAR Tactics, Techniques Procedures

• When a problem is identified, dont stop at
  identification. Ensure all understand the
  problem, and why it occurred. What really caused
  the problem must be identified (most critical
  step in problem solving). Identify potential
  solutions, who will solve it, and when it will be
  solved (timeline or suspense's).
