Preparedness requires a continual process of education and awareness of the challenges which may be faced in a crisis situation.

As such it identifies:<br>-Strengths to be maintained and built upon<br>-Potential areas for improvement<br>-Recommendations for future exercises<br>The suggested actions in this report should be viewed as recommendations only. In some cases implementation may outweigh the costs (in terms of time and resources). In other cases the Air Command and Staff College Political Affairs Strategist faculty may identify alternative solutions which may prove equally effective.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
