- Allow strategic commanders to observe and debate the command decisions and function necessary to mitigate and control a complex and protracted major emergency incident.
The Outcomes of MARS
- To test a simulated exercise to ascertain which methodology provides the best audit trail and learning outcomes
- Fully validate the standard operating procedures of all of the organisations involved
- Facilitate a learning experience for strategic managers
- Provide the opportunity for external delegates to examine the procedures and decision-making processes involved in a major operational emergency and to interact with silver and gold commanders to tease out why, where and when decisions were taken
- Provide a full audit trail and learning outcomes for both the participants and delegates to assist in the formation of subsequent standard operating procedures.
