These priorities guide the direction of an exercise program and the development of individual exercises. These priorities guide planners as they identify exercise objectives and align them to capabilities for evaluation during the exercise.
Through improvement planning, organizations take the corrective actions needed to improve plans, build and sustain capabilities, and maintain readiness. The Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program HSEEP provides a set of fundamental principles for exercise programs, as well as a common approach to program management, design and development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning.
Exercises are an important component of preparedness, by providing the whole community1 with the opportunity to shape planning, assess and validate capabilities, and address areas for improvement. These priorities guide the overall direction of an exercise program where individual exercises anchor to a common set of priorities or objectives, which increase in complexity over time.
These priorities guide the design and development of individual exercises and allow planners to identify and align objectives to the capabilities being evaluated. Stakeholders are reminded of the importance of implementing corrective actions.
Fundamental Principles:. Applying the following principles is critical for exercise program management:. Senior leaders provide the overarching guidance and direction for the exercise and evaluation program as well as specific intent for individual exercises. Exercises focus on assessing performance against capability-based objectives.
Progressive exercise planning does not always imply a linear progression of exercise types. The following chapters contain more detailed descriptions of each phase. Program Management:. An effective exercise program maximizes efficiency, resources, time, and funding by ensuring an integrated approach to building, sustaining, and delivering capabilities. Through the management of an exercise program, leaders provide oversight for preparedness activities sustained over time.
Exercise Design and Development:. During design and development, the exercise planning team members use the intent and guidance of senior leaders and the program priorities to shape the individual or series of exercises. Exercise Conduct:. Exercise conduct involves activities such as preparing for exercise play, managing exercise play, and conducting immediate exercise wrap-up activities.
For a discussion-based exercise, conduct entails presentation, facilitation, and discussion. For an operations-based exercise, conduct, encompasses all operations occurring between the designated Start of the Exercise StartEx and End of the Exercise EndEx.
Exercise Evaluation:. An effective evaluation assesses performance against exercise objectives and identifies and documents strengths and areas for improvement relative to capabilities. Operations-based Exercises validate plans, policies, agreements and procedures, clarify roles and responsibilities, and identify resource gaps in an operational environment.
Types of Operations-based Exercises include:. In order for an entity to be considered HSEEP compliant it must satisfy four distinct performance requirements:. Subscribe Now! Sign In Sign Out. Site maintained by: John Pike. Join the GlobalSecurity. Enter Your Email Address.
