In chapter 5 the author describes the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program, which consists of seven types of exercises – four being discussion based and three being operations based.

answer the following questions:

– Examine and communicate the pros and cons of discussion-based as opposed to operations based and identify factors that limit one over the other.

-Subsequently research and describe an actual exercise to include identifying the benefits derived and the lessons learned.

– Do you feel these types of exercises benefit any type of organization or do they do little in terms of preparation?
