Booz Allen has experience designing and delivering both discussion-based and operations-based exercises. Our discussion-based exercises build partnerships, create a shared understanding of complex challenges, and develop new strategies with strong stakeholder agreement through focused conversations. Our operations-based exercises are action-based to simulate high-stress, multi-organization, complex incidents and often involve the dispatch of real-world resources in a safe environment.
Types of Exercises

A discussion with focused group activities to develop a strategy, consensus, or product. Develops a new strategy, plan, or other product that requires diverse stakeholder input. - Tabletop Exercise
A scenario-based discussion to test strategies, policies, plans, and approaches. Test and refine strategy and plans against simulated challenges or threats. - Drill
An exercise with coordinated activities to validate a specific function or capability in a single organization. Test and refine strategy and plans against simulated challenges or threats. - Functional Exercise/Command Post Exercise
An exercise to validate and evaluate the synchronization of management with various operational capabilities (logistics, communications, command and control, and coordination). Validates leadership functions in a real-time, scenario-based environment. - Full-Scale Exercise/Field Training Exercise
