This section only describes a typical Scenario Village plot: NETs are responding in their neighborhood in the aftermath of a megathrust earthquake and mass casualty situation (MCI) on an afternoon with clear weather. The Village is versatile enough that an exercise designer could consider any number of alternative training scenarios, or add/take away/change any of the exercise elements described below.

The Village is versatile enough that an exercise designer could consider any number of training scenarios. However, the typical scenario enacted by PBEM proctors is a megathrust earthquake and mass casualty situation (MCI).  
The following exercise objectives in the table below describe the expected outcomes for the exercise. The objectives are linked to core capabilities, which are distinct critical elements necessary to achieve the specific mission area(s).

==== Exercise Assumptions and Artificialities ====
In any Scenario Village exercise, assumptions and artificialities may be necessary to complete play in the time allotted and/or account for logistical limitations. Scenario Village participants should accept that assumptions and artificialities, and not allow these considerations to negatively impact their participation.
 
* Cell service is "down"; players cannot use cell phones to communicate with each other. ''However'', participants may use the DAMM.
* Because of security rules of the Village, players cannot carry cutting instruments/sharp instruments into the exercise area.
* "Survivors" will wear triage cards around their necks with information about their condition such as heart rate, etc. Many "survivors" will also wear [[moulage]] to simulate injuries.
* Players are NOT permitted to mark up the buildings in the Village (to convey casualties inside, etc). Large sticky note pads will be provided to write on and place on the outer walls of buildings.
