Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW)

2. Enabling Objectives
After completing this lesson you should be able to explain:
The purpose of a Training and Exercise Planning Workshop (TEPW)
The purpose a Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan (TEP) and development and coordination of the Multiyear Training and Exercise Schedule
Exercise Program Manager’s role in managing program resources and how the Rolling Summary Report supports these efforts.
Module 2: HSEEP Program Managemnt

3. Training and Exercise Plan Workshop
Program Level Planning
Held on periodic basis (at least annually)
Planning based on program needs or predetermined requirements.
Module 2: HSEEP Program Managemnt

4. Training and Exercise Plan Workshop
Forum for developing, reviewing, or updating a Multi- Year TEP and Schedule.
The Training and Exercise Plan Workshop (TEPW) is the forum for developing, reviewing, or updating a Multi-Year Training and Exercise Plan and Schedule.
This is pre-requisite material and is to be delivered as a review.

5. Why?  Purpose of the TEPW
Translate priorities into specific objectives and exercises
Track IP actions against current capabilities, training, and exercises
Coordinate exercise activities
Identify and coordinate possible funding sources
Module 2: HSEEP Program Managemnt

6. Who?  Participants
Module 2: HSEEP Program Managemnt

7. Creating a Training and Exercise Schedule
Identify the appropriate type and timeline for exercises:
Current capabilities
Jurisdiction’s priorities
In order to identify the appropriate type and timeline for exercises, consider current capabilities and the jurisdiction’s priorities.

8. How? – Identify Priority Factors
Module 2: HSEEP Program Managemnt

9. Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan
How? – Risk Assessments
Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA) Guide (CPG 201)
Results used to define goals for
Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan
Module 2: HSEEP Program Managemnt

10. How? – Link Core Capabilities
Link each identified risk factor to the capabilities that mitigate the risk
Prioritize these capabilities and
Identify which stakeholder organizations provide support toward mitigation of the risk.

11. Mission Areas/Core Capabilities
Module 2: HSEEP Program Managemnt

12. Priorities Inform TEP
Module 2: HSEEP Program Managemnt

13. Exercises of exercise to meet the priority and achieve the associated
For each priority, list the type
of exercise to meet the priority
and achieve the associated
capabilities.
Determine the type of
exercise that will validate
the training received.
Ensure a building-block
approach to exercise.
For each priority, list the type of exercise needed to meet the priority and achieve the associated capabilities. Determine the type of exercise that will validate the training received. Ensure a building-block approach is applied to the identified exercises.

14. Creating a Training and Exercise Schedule
Capabilities-based planning tools
Personnel training and equipment acquisition schedules
Jurisdiction’s exercise experience
Use a combination of exercises to accomplish program goals and objectives
Consider capabilities-based planning tools. Also consider personnel training and equipment acquisition schedules along with the jurisdiction’s exercise experience. In order to create a Multi-Year Training and Exercise Schedule (TEP), use a combination of exercises to accomplish program goals and objectives.

15. Creating a Training and Exercise Schedule
Building-block approach exposes participants to increasingly complex exercises.
Training is tied to exercises so that training courses are validated.

16. Training and Exercise Schedule
The schedule is broken into quarters and months; if an exercise or training is “TBD,” enter the information in the appropriate year or quarter.
If the exercise type is not yet known, place an “X” in the appropriate location.
