Improving AMC After Action Reports: What Is the Standard?

Abstract

Lessons learned programs and collection via After Action Reports can be an asset to institutional learning. The current Air Mobility Command process suffers from a variety of factors, and could benefit from standardization, availability, analysis, and application. This paper updates a theoretical framework for successful AARs by incorporating a human behavior influence to the model. The study evaluates the standardized content of AARs, and recommends elements for a standard template. Other recommendations include using the Joint Lessons Learned Information System as an AAR repository, and concentrated effort to publish lessons learned guidance and build the supporting culture in the command.
