SEESIM 14 ScenarioDevelopment Scenario Manager CPT Višnja Prebeg
National Scenarios Scenarios retained within the border of a single nation, but does not prevent cross-border coordination for additional resources Sub-Regional Scenarios Large incidents occurring in more than one nation that stimulates cross-border coordination Definitions
National Scenarios Agreed at ESC • Bosnia and Herzegovina – Cyber Attacks, Forest fire • Bulgaria – Flooding, Refugee Influx • Croatia – Earthquake, Cyber Attack • Montenegro – Earthquake • Romania – Terrorist attack • The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia* – Cyber Attack • SEEBRIG – Assistance to be determined (only for Disaster Relief Operations) • Albania, Georgia? -TBD • *Turkey recognizes the Republic of Macedonia with its constitutional name.
Sub-Regional Scenarios Agreed at ESC • Earthquake – Romania and Bulgaria • Flooding – Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, • Flooding – Bulgaria and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia*, • Chemical incident – Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia • Airplane crash – Croatia and Montenegro • Albania, Georgia? -TBD • *Turkey recognizes the Republic of Macedonia with its constitutional name.
Coordination of Sub-regional Incidents • Training Objectives (primary, secondary) • Locations/affected area (per nation) • Description “step by step” • Number of affected persons • Incident start/end time • Expected Outcome • Lead nation
Main Scenario • Themes Agreed at ESC: • Cyber Attacks • Bosnia and Herzegovina • Croatia • The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia* • Others? • Earthquakes • Croatia • Montenegro • Romania • Bulgaria • Others?
Main Scenario Themes Agreed at ESC: Floodings • Bulgaria • Bosnia and Herzegovina • Croatia • The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia* • Others?
To be considered . . . Leading Nations for sub-regional scenarios? Training Objectives for sub-regional scenarios – AAR analysis, data base updates? RPs required to establish a realistic training environment for the EOCs IOs, GOs, NGOs, Media (national and international) vs TOs?
Training Objectives • The list of agreed training objectives
Training Objectives • Describes desired outcome of a training activity • Based on essential tasks, and derived from joint doctrine, SOPs, and Commander’s guidance • Multiple training objectives may be prescribed for each task
Training Objective Workshop Goals • Derive Training Objectives from selected tasks by identifying: • Training Audiences (who must contribute to the accomplishment of a task?) • Fundamental activities and processes of each Training Audience contributing to accomplishment of a task (what must we do?) • Stimuli that spur the Training Audience to act (when must we respond?) • Associated performance metrics ( e.g., how well/ often, etc. must we do it?) • Methods to accomplish the training (how)
How TO are Developed • Ask..... • Who contributes to the accomplishment of the task? (the potential Training Audience, which may have multiple players) • Do they do all of the task or only part? • If only part, who else contributes? • What processes do they do? (performance) • What prompts them to do or affects them doing the task? (training situation) • What measures and criteria show task(s) completion?(level of performance) The combined answers equate to a Training Objective
A Training Objective MUST be Measurable!!! Short Term: Objectively (time, percentage, go-no) Long Term: Subjectively (very hard in SEESIM event) TO Workshop Goals
PRIMARY TRAINING AUDIENCE • PTA for SEESIM 14: • CMEP officials responsible for national response to a crisis. • PTA operates from Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) • Playing from their respective countries (JCATS availability?). • TA for SEEBRIG - SEEBRIG HQ • SEEBRIG HQ playing from Larissa, Greece • SEEBRIG Engineer Task Force (ETF)participation?
“Tools” For Developing TO NATO Task List (NTL) Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs) or Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) Training Manuals Operational Plans Doctrine / Tactics, Techniques & Procedures Lessons Learned Analysis
Training Objectives Summary • Properly prepared, training objectives, derived from essential tasks, assist the command to focus attention on improving required performance levels, demonstratedin training exercises • “If all training objectives for a particular task are achieved, that task can be accomplished to standard by the audience being observed.”

Training Objective (TO) Examples • 3 Categories of Level of Performance (LOP) • Process and procedures (P/P) • Time • % accomplished
Agreed during ESC • The Training Objective Workshop (TOW) and initial MEL/MIL Development Workshop are scheduled as part of the Initial Planning Conference (IPC) • Each nation should develop approximately 90-100 injects at the IPC • Each inject developed during the workshop should support a specific training objective and include an expected action to assist with proper evaluation
MEL/MIL Development • Scenario Managers will review all injects after the IPC and provide feedback at the MPC to identify gaps • A second MEL/MIL Development Workshop is scheduled for the Main Planning Conference (MPC) to finalize injects • Nations will be provided the opportunity to continue MEL/MIL development between planning conferences
SEESIM 14 Scenario • The SEESIM 14 Scenario will be constructed using events, incidents and injects. • Event – Entity (nacional, sub regional ..) • Incident – Major theme within the Event (flooding, earthquake, terrorist attack, …) • Inject – Detailed information sent to the training audience related to the incidents (28 homes completely submerged in they city of xxxx, 200 school children trapped under rubble, etc.)
MEL/MIL Development • An automated MEL/MIL development tool will be used to enter injects (JEMM) • Training on the automated tool will be provided prior to the MEL/MIL Workshop • A Final Draft of the MEL/MIL will be available for review at the Final Coordination Conference (FCC)
SEESIM 14 MEL/MIL WS • MEL/MIL Development Workshop • 60-70 draft MEL/MIL injects (view sample) • Coordination of Sub regional injects
Leading Nations for sub-regional scenarios? Training Objectives for sub-regional scenarios – AAR analysis, data base updates? RPs required to establish a realistic training environment for the EOCs IOs, GOs, NGOs, Media (national and international) vs TOs? To be considered
To ensure • “Expected Action” should be included for each inject to allow for proper analysis. • AAR personnel familiar with the scenario and national focus areas • Each nation to send MEL/MIL Trackers, JCATS operators and LNOs to EXCON Main • Suficient number of AAR analysts per Site • Suficient RPs to replicate IOs, NGOs
