Which elements should the after-action report for a PFSP exercise document?

• A. Details of the exercise schedule and participant names.
• B. Performance gaps, corrective actions, responsible parties, and deadlines.
• C. A summary of weather conditions during the exercise.
• D. A list of unrelated security incidents from the previous year.

Answer: (B)

After-action reports for PFSP exercises focus on what didn’t go as planned and how to fix it. The best answer highlights the performance gaps identified during the exercise, the corrective actions needed, who is responsible for implementing them, and the deadlines for completion. This makes the report practical and actionable, turning observed shortfalls into concrete steps and accountability so improvements can be tracked and verified. Details about the exercise schedule, participant names, weather conditions, or unrelated incidents from previous years don’t directly contribute to addressing the exercise findings, so they aren’t the core content of the AAR.
