MULTIYEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN State of Louisiana
Preface
The State of Louisiana has made great strides in increasing the safety of its citizens, key infrastructure, and economy from foreign and domestic terrorism. As past events have shown, there is a need to focus efforts on an all-hazards approach for emergency preparedness and response. Louisiana’s critical infrastructure; geographic location; and national, social, and economic assets continue to make it a vulnerable target. The State of Louisiana—in its efforts to prevent, protect, respond to, and recover from incidents affecting homeland security, whether technical or natural—has realized the need to embrace a capabilities-based approach to training and exercising. In pursuing this approach, the State has identified a need to coordinate planning, training, and exercising to strengthen the State’s overall defenses. Training and exercises play a crucial role in this strategy and provide the State with a means of attaining, practicing, validating, and improving new capabilities.
The State’s training and exercise programs are administered by the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP), with valued cooperation and contributions from nonprofit organizations; private industry; and Federal, State, and local government agencies. To achieve the State’s vision of a safe, secure, and sustainable Louisiana, stakeholders convened to develop this Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan (TEP). Accomplishment of the broad goals and specific objectives outlined herein, as well as the continued commitment of all parties to the preparedness process, will better equip Louisiana to protect its citizens from all hazards. The training and exercise agenda laid out in this plan provides guidance and expectations for all State-level response agencies as well as for any municipal response agencies that receive State homeland security funds. The agenda helps prepare the State to optimally address the natural and technical hazards it faces.

MULTIYEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN State of Louisiana
Purpose
The purpose of the Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan (TEP) is to provide a companion document to the State of Louisiana Homeland Security Strategy. The Louisiana Multiyear TEP is a living document that will be updated and refined annually. This plan provides a roadmap for Louisiana to follow in accomplishing the priorities described in the State of Louisiana Homeland Security Strategy. Each priority is linked to the associated target capabilities that will facilitate its accomplishment and to the training and exercises that will help obtain or validate those capabilities and address that priority.
The Louisiana Multiyear TEP includes the training and exercise schedule, which provides graphic illustration of proposed activities for the years 2009–2011. It represents the natural progression of training and exercises that should take place in accordance with the building-block approach.

MULTIYEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN State of Louisiana
Program Priorities
As part of the continuous preparedness process, the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) drafted the Louisiana Homeland Security Strategy to clearly define efforts and areas of focus. Based on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Preparedness Goal, the strategy commits Louisiana to the national priorities defined by the DHS and supplements these priorities with initiatives specific to Louisiana’s threats and capabilities.
Louisiana has identified 12 priorities on which to focus its planning, equipment acquisition, training, and exercises:
Priority 1: Communications Priority 2: National Incident Management System (NIMS) and National Response Framework
(NRF) Priority 3: Intelligence and Information Sharing Priority 4: Critical Infrastructures/Key Resources (CI/KR) Priority 5: Maritime Safety and Security Priority 6: Regional Collaboration Priority 7: Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Priority 8: Agriculture Safety and Security Priority 9: Cyber Safety and Security Priority 10: Citizen Preparedness Priority 11: Public Health Safety and Response Priority 12: Evacuation (parish-level priority only)
Louisiana has identified items on the Target Capabilities List (TCL) for direct association with the accomplishment of priorities and goals. Training and exercises scheduled for the next 3 years have been planned to allow Louisiana to attain the selected priorities and fill in capability gaps.
Priority 1: Communications
Develop and enhance communications with Federal, State, and local agencies to ensure that interoperable communications will be maintained during all-hazards incidents.

Multiyear Training and Exercise Schedule
The following schedule illustrates the current timeline for Louisiana’s training and exercise activities from September 2009 to December 2011. The schedule captures Louisiana’s desire for a progressive increase in training and exercise complexity over the next 3 years.
Louisiana’s Multiyear Training and Exercise Schedule will use a building-block approach when determining training and exercises. The building-block approach ensures successful progression in exercise design, complexity, and execution, and allows for the appropriate training and preparation to occur in the community that is conducting or participating in the exercise.
The schedule portrays both training and exercises that correspond to priorities for Louisiana. In addition to this hardcopy schedule, Louisiana has electronically scheduled its exercises through the National Exercise Schedule (NEXS) System located at www.hseep.dhs.gov.

MULTIYEAR TRAINING AND EXERCISE PLAN State of Louisiana
Appendix C: Exercise Types
Discussion-Based Exercises
Discussion-based exercises are normally used as starting points in the building-block approach to the cycle, mix, and range of exercises. Discussion-based exercises include seminars, workshops, tabletop exercises (TTXs), and games. These types of exercises typically highlight existing plans, policies, mutual aid agreements (MAAs), and procedures. Thus, they are exceptional tools for familiarizing agencies and personnel with current or expected jurisdictional capabilities. Discussion-based exercises typically focus on strategic policy-oriented issues; operations-based exercises focus more on tactical response-related issues. Facilitators and/or presenters usually lead the discussion, keeping participants on track while meeting the objectives of the exercise.
Seminars
Seminars are generally used to orient participants or to provide an overview of authorities, strategies, plans, policies, procedures, protocols, response resources, or concepts and ideas. Seminars provide a good starting point for jurisdictions that are developing or making major changes to their plans and procedures. They offer the following attributes:
Informal discussions led by a seminar leader Lack of time constraints caused by real-time portrayal of events Low-stress environment using a number of instruction techniques, such as lectures, multimedia
presentations, panel discussions, case study discussions, expert testimony, and decision support tools
Proven effectiveness with both small and large groups
Workshops
Workshops represent the second tier of exercises in the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) building-block approach. Although similar to seminars, workshops differ in two important aspects: participant interaction is increased, and the focus is on achieving or building a product (such as a plan or a policy). Workshops provide an ideal forum for the following:
Building teams Collecting or sharing information Obtaining consensus Obtaining new or different perspectives Problem solving of complex issues Testing new ideas, processes, or procedures Training groups in coordinated activities
In conjunction with exercise development, workshops are most useful in achieving specific aspects of exercise design, such as the following:
Determining evaluation elements and standards of performance Determining program or exercise objectives Developing exercise scenario and key events listings
For Official Use Only
Appendix C: Exercise Types C-2 State of Louisiana
For Official Use Only
A workshop may be used to produce new standard operating procedures (SOPs), emergency operations plans (EOPs), MAAs, multiyear exercise plans, and improvement plans (IPs). To be effective, workshops must be highly focused on a specific issue, and the desired outcome or goal must be clearly defined.
Potential relevant topics and goals are numerous, but all workshops share the following common attributes:
Effective with both small and large groups Facilitated, working breakout sessions Goals oriented toward an identifiable product Information conveyed using different instructional techniques Lack of time constraint from real-time portrayal of events Low-stress environment No-fault forum Plenary discussions led by a workshop leader
Tabletop Exercises (TTXs)
TTXs involve senior staff members, elected or appointed officials, or other key personnel in an informal setting, discussing simulated situations. This type of exercise is intended to stimulate discussion of various issues regarding a hypothetical situation. It can be used to assess plans, policies, and procedures or to assess types of systems needed to guide the prevention of, response to, and recovery from a defined incident. TTXs are typically aimed at facilitating understanding of concepts, identifying strengths and shortfalls, and/or achieving a change in attitude. Participants are encouraged to discuss issues in depth and develop decisions through slow-paced problem solving rather than the rapid, spontaneous decisionmaking that occurs under actual or simulated emergency conditions. In contrast to the scale and cost of operations-based exercises and games, TTXs can be cost-effective tools when used in conjunction with more complex exercises. The effectiveness of a TTX is derived from the energetic involvement of participants and their assessment of recommended revisions to current policies, procedures, and plans.
TTX methods are divided into two categories: basic and advanced. In a basic TTX, the scene set by the scenario materials remains constant. It describes an event or emergency incident and brings discussion participants up to the simulated present time. Players apply their knowledge and skills to a list of problems presented by the facilitator; problems are discussed as a group; and resolution is generally agreed upon and summarized by the leader. In an advanced TTX, play focuses on delivery of prescripted messages to players that alter the original scenario. The exercise facilitator usually introduces problems one at a time in the form of a written message, simulated telephone call, videotape, or other means. Participants discuss the issues raised by the problem, using appropriate plans and procedures. TTX attributes may include the following:
Achieving limited or specific objectives Assessing interagency coordination Conducting a specific case study Examining personnel contingencies Familiarizing senior officials with a situation Participating in information sharing Practicing group problem solving Testing group message interpretation
Operations-Based Exercises
Operations-based exercises are used to validate the plans, policies, agreements, and procedures solidified in discussion-based exercises. Operations-based exercises include drills, functional exercises, and full-scale exercises (FSEs). They can clarify roles and responsibilities, identify gaps in resources needed to implement
For Official Use Only
Appendix C: Exercise Types C-3 State of Louisiana
For Official Use Only
plans and procedures, and improve individual and team performance. Operations-based exercises are characterized by actual response, mobilization of apparatus and resources, and commitment of personnel, usually over an extended period of time.
Drills
A drill is a coordinated, supervised activity usually used to test a single specific operation or function in a single agency. Drills are commonly used to provide training on new equipment, develop or test new policies or procedures, or practice and maintain current skills. Typical attributes include the following:
A narrow focus, measured against established standards Instant feedback Performance in isolation Realistic environment
Functional Exercises (FEs)
An FE, also known as a Command Post Exercise (CPX), is designed to test and evaluate individual capabilities, multiple functions or activities within a function, or interdependent groups of functions. FEs generally focus on exercising the plans, policies, procedures, and staffs of the direction and control nodes of the Incident Command System (ICS) and Unified Command. Generally, incidents are projected through an exercise scenario with event updates that drive activity at the management level. Movement of personnel and equipment is simulated.
The objective of the FE is to execute specific plans and procedures and apply established policies, plans, and procedures under crisis conditions, within or by particular function teams. An FE simulates the reality of operations in a functional area by presenting complex and realistic problems that require rapid and effective responses by trained personnel in a highly stressful environment. Attributes of an FE include the following:
Evaluating EOC, headquarters, and staff Evaluating functions Examining interjurisdictional relationships Measuring resource adequacy Reinforcing established policies and procedures
Full-Scale Exercises (FSEs)
FSEs are multiagency, multijurisdictional exercises that test many facets of emergency response and recovery. They include many first responders operating under the ICS or Unified Command to effectively and efficiently respond to, and recover from, an incident. An FSE focuses on implementing and analyzing the plans, policies, and procedures developed in discussion-based exercises and honed in previous, smaller operations-based exercises. The events are projected through a scripted exercise scenario with built-in flexibility to allow updates to drive activity. It is conducted in a real-time, stressful environment that closely mirrors a real incident. First responders and resources are mobilized and deployed to the scene where they conduct their actions as if a real incident had occurred (with minor exceptions). The FSE simulates the reality of operations in multiple functional areas by presenting complex and realistic problems that require critical thinking, rapid problem solving, and effective responses by trained personnel in a highly stressful environment. Other entities that are not involved in the exercise, but that would be involved in an actual incident, should be instructed not to respond.
An FSE provides an opportunity to execute plans, procedures, and MAAs in response to a simulated live incident in a highly stressful environment. Typical FSE attributes include the following:
For Official Use Only
Appendix C: Exercise Types C-4 State of Louisiana
For Official Use Only
Activating personnel and equipment Allocating resources and personnel Analyzing memorandums of understanding (MOUs), SOPs, plans, policies, and procedures Assessing equipment capabilities Assessing interjurisdictional cooperation Assessing organizational and individual performance Demonstrating interagency cooperation Exercising public information systems Testing communication systems and procedures
The level of support needed to conduct an FSE is greater than needed for other types of exercises. The exercise site is usually extensive, with complex site logistics. Food and water must be supplied to participants and volunteers. Safety issues, including those surrounding the use of props and special effects, must be monitored.
FSE controllers ensure that participants’ behavior remains within predefined boundaries. Simulation Cell (SimCell) controllers continuously inject scenario elements to simulate real events. Evaluators observe behaviors and compare them against established plans, policies, procedures, and standard practices (if applicable). Safety controllers ensure that all activity is executed within a safe environment.
