AAR
ACRONYMAfter Action Review
A meeting after a task to discuss what went well and what to improve.
On air
“All stations, AAR at the TOC in thirty mikes. Out.”
In conversation
In the AAR, everyone can speak, whatever their rank.
The after action review asks what was planned and what really happened.
We changed our SOP after the AAR.
Keep the AAR short and focus on lessons, not blame.
