Planning Committee You should have assembled a core exercise planning committee prior to undertaking the task of conducting an electronic exercise in your community. If possible, members of the planning committee who are going to participate in the exercise should not be designated as exercise controllers, exercise evaluators, or trusted agents because they have complete knowledge of the design of the exercise. Ensure everyone on the planning team knows who is on the planning committee along with their organization, contact information, and the sector they represent. Exercise Controllers Exercise controllers plan and manage the conduct of the exercise. Exercise controllers do not participate in the exercise unless absolutely necessary. Exercise controllers have distinct, intensive responsibilities in an electronic exercise, such as Leading the development of exercise materials, such as the exercise scenario, Master Scenario Events List (MSEL), scenario injects, and the Situation Manual (SitMan). These materials are explained in detail in Section 3 – Designing an Electronic Exercise. Trusted agents will assist the exercise controllers with this task. Managing the conduct of the exercise (see Section 5 – Conducting an Electronic Exercise), which includes the following subtasks: E-mailing scenario updates, scenario injects, and situation reports (SITREP) to exercise participants as scheduled in the exercise MSEL. Receiving e-mail responses from sector representatives participating in the exercise and using these responses to compile a daily SITREP. Setting up and facilitating conference calls with exercise participants, as needed. Making adjustments to the exercise MSEL, scenario, and injects, as needed. Making the exercise suitable to conduct using an electronic format. This topic is covered in Section 4 – Making It an Electronic Exercise. Assisting with the evaluation of the exercise. This topic is covered in Section 5 – Evaluating an Electronic Exercise. Taking the lead in conducting post-exercise briefings and meetings.
