After Action Review

NCODP — Leader Presence & Military Bearing · individual input

Unit
Date
Rank / Name (optional)

This is not a customer-satisfaction survey. An AAR is a professional discussion focused on performance against a standard. Candor is the requirement. If the block was too long, unclear, or didn't teach you anything — say so. That is the input that improves the next one.

1
What was supposed to happen?
What were the stated objectives of this block?
2
What actually happened?
Be specific. Time, content, delivery, environment.
3
What went well — and why?
The "why" is the part that makes it repeatable.
4
What should be improved — and how?
A complaint without a "how" can't be actioned.

AAR Consolidation & Facilitator Script

Complete within 72 hours of execution

Running the AAR — 5 minutes

SET"This is an AAR, not a critique. Nobody's in trouble and nobody's getting graded. I need to know what to change."
RULEState that rank does not apply for the next five minutes. Then prove it by taking the first piece of criticism without defending yourself.
ASK 1–2Run questions 1 and 2 verbally and fast. They establish shared facts and take about 60 seconds.
ASK 3Take two or three "sustain" answers. Push each one to why — "why did that work?" is where the reusable lesson lives.
ASK 4Take at least two "improve" answers before anyone starts writing. If the room is silent, offer one of your own failures first.
WRITEHand out page 1. Give them four quiet minutes. Do not talk during this.
CLOSEName one change you are committing to based on what you just heard. Then collect the forms at the door yourself.

The failure mode: an instructor who defends the block during the AAR. The first time you explain why a criticism is wrong, the AAR is over — everyone else in the room just learned that honest input costs them something.

Close the loop

Open the next NCODP by naming one change you made because of these forms. That single sentence is the reason people fill out the next one honestly. An AAR that disappears into a binder teaches Soldiers that their input is decorative.
