Methodology for Evaluation of PREP Area Exercises

摘要

For many years, the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) has been charged with reconstructing and analyzing the Navy's major fleet exercises. Before deploying, a carrier battle group completes its work-up cycle by participating in a major exercise war. CNA provides reconstruction and analysis support at the request of the fleet commanders, who need an objective evaluation of their battle group's tactics and readiness. On 26 and 27 September 1995, Commander, Naval Base San Diego and Fleet Industrial Supply Center, Sand Diego hosted the 1995 San Diego Preparedness for Response Exercise Program (PREP) Area Exercise. This report documents our evaluation methodology, and offers a suggested evaluation plan for use in future PREP area exercises.
