    (C) providing advance notification of drills and exercises;

    (D) planning for post-drill or after-action reviews of each drill and exercise; and

    (E) ensuring drills and exercises are age and developmentally appropriate with the understanding that more complex drills and exercises will require a hierarchy of learning to achieve or obtain more advanced goals or objectives.

  (4) Exercises are more complex than drills. It is recommended that school systems start with discussion-based exercises and work up to operation-based exercises. Discussion-based exercises include seminar exercises, tabletop exercises, and workshop exercises. Operation-based exercises include functional exercises and full-scale exercises. Exercises can be used for:

    (A) testing and validating policies, plans, procedures, training, equipment, and interagency agreements;

    (B) clarifying and training personnel in roles and responsibilities;

    (C) improving interagency coordination and communications;

    (D) identifying gaps in resources;

    (E) improving individual performance; and

    (F) identifying opportunities for improvement.
