19. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 19 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Source of SEESIM 12 Recommendations National Lessons Learned FER – US Joint Staff J7 (20 NOV 2012)

20. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 20 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Training Audience –Improve English language skills of the EOC (TA) –Design future SEESIM exercises to include participation of live units or role players to provide realism to EOC participants Include NGO representation in the EOC Information Management –Build page on the Exercise Portal for use by AAR personnel (OCP) –Documents used by the EOCs need to be written in email form, not as attachments to an email –Clarify message templates to clearly identify how each message type is used

21. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 21 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Exercise Design –Identify and resolve any issues with maps early in the exercise planning process –Minimize exercise responsibilities of the Site Manager and AAR Analyst during DVD activities –Consider the use of a Public Information workshop to enhance training experience for the Training Audience –Daily operational rhythm is too intensive –Reduce Exercise duration (4 days)

22. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 22 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Exercise Design –Use of JTLS model is irrelevant to EOCs, so why is it used? –SEESIM should include a Post-Exercise Discussion (PXD) to evaluate improvements for the next exercise –EOCs haven’t had sufficient PCs to effectively communicate with other EOCs –Reduce the duration of the planning conferences (IPC, MPC, FCC) down to three days and the EX duration (4 days) –Reduce the number of personnel taking part in the working groups

23. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 23 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Exercise Design –Consideration distributing the simulation to EXCON Forward - Conduct a Training Objective Workshop (TOW) prior to MEL/MIL development to ensure each inject is linked to a specific training objective - Training Objective Workshop (TOW) should be used

24. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 24 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Scenario and MEL/MIL –Continue the use automated exercise management tool for MEL/MIL development and exercise execution (JEMM) –Sustain use of automated tool to manage the exercise –Use of JEMM improves design, monitoring and control of the exercise –Expand use of JEMM as MEL/MIL management tool –Integrate JEMM with e-mail client for automatic injection of MEL/MIL

25. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 25 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Scenario and MEL/MIL –The scenarios should be unified into one common scenario for all countries –Too many different scenarios in each nation resulted in an incoherent overall scenario –Reduce number of incidents in each country and focus on one or two regional incidents –Change concept of scenario to 3-4 major events across the region –Design the exercise to allow for multiple countries to be affected by a common consequence management threat

26. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 26 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Scenario and MEL/MIL –Use a single integrated scenario for all countries instead of 12 pieces of isolated scenarios –A more elaborate scenario or an integrated scenario for all countries and SEEBRIG could be a solution for better coordination of all participants –The Design of the SEESIM 12 scenario should have a common regional incident (disaster, terror attack, etc) which primarily affects the Host Nation, leading to regional cooperation –Eliminate Counter-Proliferation as an exercise theme or specifically develop incidents and injects to address this threat

27. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 27 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Scenario and MEL/MIL - Number of main events should be reduced to allow EOCs more time to cooperate with other EOCs - Scenario and MEL/MIL should be finalized well before the exercise - Decrease the number of injects to give EOCs time for strategic thinking and planning - Use the scenario disaster as the “Event” during the MEL/MIL build process instead of the nation

28. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 28 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Scenario and MEL/MIL –Develop quantified indicators to assess the level of regional objectives achievement –Scenario and MEL/MIL should be set up to reflect SOPs for EOCs –The flow of information was overwhelming and should be adapted to the capacity of each EOC –Develop a coordinated cyber threat that will enable a regional response to a coordinated cyber attack –Employ the use of local journalists to increase the training value

29. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 29 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Miscellaneous –Begin the White Cell meeting 30 minutes prior to stoppage of exercise play instead on one hour prior –Identify AAR personnel early in the planning process to ensure they are familiar with the scenario and national focus areas –International organizations participating in SEESIM should provide a summary fact sheet for all the EOCs –Existing data about SEEBRIG units needs to be updated to represent current capabilities –Place one international telephone and a separate fax in each room to facilitate discussions with national EOCs

30. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 30 SEESIM 12 Recommendations Miscellaneous –Synchronize national SOPs with other agencies and institutions –Improve national SOPs to facilitate quick integration of new personnel into the EOC –Update national SOPs to include collaboration with international organizations and to improve interoperability among national agencies –Improve the existing legal framework (law enforcement, IOT enhance cooperation between national ministries, related agencies, IOs and NGOs during emergencies –Ministry of Interior has responsibility for disaster management, not Ministry of Defense

31. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 31 Highlights: ­Refine and test plans and SOPs for emergency response to national or regional disasters. ­Further develop, refine and publish information management techniques and procedures to ensure contact with regional information sharing. ­Further enhance cooperation and coordination among national ministries, related agencies, as well as NGOs in case of civil-military emergency response. ­EOC’s SOPs should be reviewed and updated on the basis of SEESIM 12 lessons learned to ensure better mission accomplishment in future SEESIM 12 Recommendations

32. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 32 The C2 procedure replicated in the exercise are sometimes not perfectly adherent to the (ie Rome) EOC C2 procedures. Use of VTC communications also amongst national EOCs could facilitate the exchange of information and coordination activity. Additional focus on Workshops and Seminars during the exercise planning to increase mutual understanding and experience sharing (this will give further value to SEESIM activity. SEESIM 12 Recommendations

33. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 33 Role of media in crisis situation (pay more attention to media events IOs (law enforcement) NATO, EU elements inside EXCON. Improve English language skills of the EOC personnel. Emergency communications (both communication management and information management) Improve understanding of EOC staffs in the region to shorten time to provide assistance. SEESIM 12 Recommendations

34. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 34 Improve: Emergency management structure Definition of jurisdictions – avoid overlapping of jurisdictions SOPs to improve interoperability among agencies Improve national interagency cooperation – better understanding of procedures and actions of other agencies Designate specific jurisdictions to avoid overlapping responsibilities Role of media in crisis situation (EOC) Include representatives from other relevant agencies SEESIM 12 Recommendations

35. SEESIM 14 UNCLASSIFIED 35 Improve: Situational awareness requires improvement. More attention on media events.
