The After Action Report
I had a thought last night as I commented on a reply to the Effective Tactics post. I commented on how things worked and didn't work at the Night Op and realized: a good training tool used by our real-steel counterparts is the After Action Report.
Now I know most of us are military buffs but if there's anyone out there that doesn't know, the AAR is a detailed debrief of an event. In the AAR everything that went right, as well as everything that went wrong, detailed so that in future similar events, those same things that went right can be repeated and those things that went wrong can be avoided.
I asked Komissar to create a new category on the forum for this so that each event can have an initial AAR created by a participant and have it so the rest of us can add to and discuss. This will create a record of the event so that if we approach a similar event we, in other posts, can back reference the previous event's AAR for review before we deploy. A form of continual training to better improve tactics that almost worked, or ditch tactics that completely failed.
Post your thoughts here.

Very nice, these should be good to read. Who will be writing the AARs?

The ideal person would be someone with the ability to analyze the missions/operations and disseminate the results, with the rest of us providing the first hand accounts as the participants' input. However the problem with this is that the best person for the role of Observational Combat Trainer (OCT) would be the field marshals. Since often they are just enforcing the rules of the field or, in the case of a Cimmerian OP, not on our team we would need to take a volunteer from the ranks. I can write some, but often I leave before the last mission so I won't have complete data. Fergie has the skill, as he demonstrated at the night game. Scramble, you know how to teach as is Komissar.
