- Recommend which CIDAC personnel or capabilities should participate in each exercise based on its objectives, scenario, and planned activities.
- Provide on-site or remote support during selected exercise events, as directed, and document observations and outcomes needed for follow-up.
- Produce and update required support documents, meeting minutes, and after-action reports within applicable contract timelines and after government review.
