Conducting Effective After-Action Reviews for Team Improvement

This lesson outlines the process and significance of conducting After-Action Reviews (AARs) to enhance team performance. An AAR is leader-guided and soldier-centered, focusing on critical learning objectives. It is not merely a lecture or a session for grievances. Instead, it serves to analyze strengths and weaknesses, encouraging open communication and critical thinking among team members. Key steps include preparing for the AAR, conducting the review, and summarizing findings to improve future performance.
