Why is it important to conclude exercises?

It is important for cadets to conclude an exercise as it is an important step in project management. Recognizing

areas for improvement and successes will allow people to take this knowledge into their next project and improve its chances for success.

Conducting a Briefing

Having a debriefing with the personnel involved in the exercise is a crucial step in identifying the practices to keep and the practices to avoid in future projects from the experience gained during the current project. The people involved in the project can, by sharing their experiences, observations and suggestions, help a leader recognize the achievements and areas for improvement encountered during the various planning and conducting stages of the exercise.
