What's a after action report?
An After Action Report (or AAR) is any form of retrospective analysis on a given sequence of goal oriented actions previously undertaken, generally by the author itself. The Analytical AAR, exercised as part of a process of performance evaluation and improvement, while in most cases AARs are a combination of both.
Analytical AARs have 5 central objectives [at TG]:- Identifying problematic issues and tactics
- Identifying positive points and "what works"
- Proposing measures to counteract problematic elements
- Obtaining “lessons learned”
- Reinforcing submitted awards nominations
Structure of a AAR- Overview
- Goals and objectives
- Analysis of outcomes
- Analysis of the performance shown on critical tasks
- Summary
- Recommendations
(Some AARs will not have all 6 pieces of the structure.)
