# Observation: Different individuals acted as Incident Commander, ARO, and scribe. | # Observation: Different individuals acted as Incident Commander, ARO, and scribe. a. Impact: Having a distinct Incident Commander, ARO, and scribe improves communication and coordination during an exercise. b. '''Recommendation: There should always be at least one Incident Commander, one ARO, and one scribe. In certain instances, it may be useful to have a scribe for both IC and Ops if they are in different locations. Scribes should also use paper to record current status, incident log, and observations.''' | ||
# | # Observation: Incident Commanders, medical, and Team Leaders delegated new roles to SUVs as the exercise scenario changed. a. Impact: Doing so kept all SUVs engaged and active. It also helped ICs, TLs, medical, and SUVs adapt and respond to new scenarios. b. '''Recommendation: Identify roles and assignments at the start of the exercise but be prepared to adapt as needed. IC and Ops should always be anticipating future delegations. SUVs should be ready to change roles at any moment.''' | ||
# Observation: Medical was situated near the Incident Commander. a. Impact: Communication improved when medical was located near the Incident Commander. Complex information could be shared face-to-face. Additionally, the IC could better monitor the medical staging area and delegate as needed. b. '''Recommendation: The medical staging area should be located near the IC when possible.''' | |||
# Observation: Participants used tactical callsigns when using radio communications. a. Impact: This prevented confusion and saved time during the exercise. b. '''Recommendation: Encourage NETs to use tactical callsigns during Scenario Village exercises. Standardizing modes of communication will better equip NETs to communicate during actual emergencies.''' | |||
# Observation: SUVs were given new tasks when they finished their assignments. a. Impact: SUVs successfully adapted to support areas of greatest need as the situation changed. b. '''Recommendation: Continue emphasizing adaptive exercises during Scenario Village. NETs should be able to focus on a specific task as well as quickly change gears.''' | |||
