This paper presents the driving requirements, results, and user-oriented use cases behind the Enterprise After Action
Review (EAAR) prototype. The activity, funded in FY14 by Program Manager Integrated Training Environment (PM
ITE), focused on producing a reusable AAR architecture with transferrable technologies and lessons learned for early
adoption of the Common Operational Environment (COE) across PM ITE and PEO STRI. At project initiation it was
clear the successful execution of a prototype depended on collaboration between the PM ITE team and engineers
supporting the Command Post Computing Environment (CP CE) within PM Mission Command (MC). This paper
starts by introducing earlier efforts that provided critical insight and software that led to the feasibility of the EAAR
prototype investigation using COE constructs. It continues by highlighting common AAR requirements across the
training and operational MC community. This sheds light on the potential for AAR system lifecycle cost-savings
through shared AAR component development and use across the two communities. The paper then explores the
specific COE design constructs and technologies employed as part of the EAAR prototype effort. Finally, the paper
concludes with a section on technology transfer progress and a listing of the COE and other standards-based
technologies employed and their training or operational MC source.
