example tdgs/stex #2 - Wildland Fire Leadership Development

confirmed the discussion can move to the “how” at which point resource deployment
decisions can be discussed.
During the AAR items for discussion may also include:
• What qualities should a lookout possess
• Did the player reference the IRPG What sections
Whatever the decided course of action, ask other participants for their perspective.
This may be a good time to discuss the importance of an anchor point, potential fire
behavior, how to offer alternatives to an assignment when the initial one seems
questionable, or how to properly refuse risk.

After Action Review:
Conduct an AAR with focus on the training objective. Use the AAR format found in
the IRPG to facilitate the AAR. There are four basic questions in the AAR.
1. What was planned
2. What actually happened
3. Why did it happen
4. What can we do next time
TDGS shouldn’t have a single solution and keep the focus of the AAR on what was
done and why.
