After-action Review

An After-Action Review is a structured retrospective evaluation, belonging to the genus of organizational learning mechanisms, that systematically identifies and analyzes performance outcomes, decisions, and actions taken during a specific incident or exercise—particularly within high-stakes domains such as Mass Casualty Management—to differentiate effective practices from deficiencies and thereby inform future improvements in operational and managerial frameworks.
