What: SA16 Command Post Exercise When: 1-12 August 2016 SA16 will be a Command Post Exercise (CPX) focused on Peace Enforcement Operations (PEO) by integrating the SADC partner nations with USARAF forces and forming a Sector Headquarters to conduct operational planning of the UN/AU mandated operation in DRC. USARAF and MDF will set the conditions by coordinating with Partner Nations to ensure objectives and tasks are identified, validated, and incorporated into the exercise throughout JELC conferences and weekly DCO meetings. Identification of individual/ collective training that supports the commanders’ endstate will be identified and coordinated through the use of TCT, Mil-Mil, and online training utilizing APAN and VTC. The exercise will begin with an Opening Ceremony and proceed into academics at the Operational level that support UN/ AU PO operations. Upon completion of the academics the exercise will move into practical application in which the Sector HQ will conduct Mission Command and Consequence Management of its tactical (simulated) forces. Upon completion of the practical application, a series of discussions and After Action Reviews will be held to capture “Lessons Learned” and best practices to be further applied to future Southern Accords and SADC operations.
