It's 0'dark thirty. The crew has worked the fire for sixteen hours straight. No one has eaten a hot meal for days and oh yeah, you might as well be cold.

No time for the After Action Review? -- Think again

It's time to bust out the …CHAINSAW AAR 

The idea behind the Chainsaw AAR is simple; SPEED.  When you need to get an After Action Review done quickly try this simple format.

1. Have the team form a loose circle.
2. Start with a single team member and ask one of these questions:

-What is one thing that went well on this shift?
-What is one thing that went bad on this shift?
-What is one thing you would do different next time?
-What is one thing you learned today?

3. Continue around the circle until everyone has had a chance. It may be necessary to place a time limit on each individual (i.e. 30 seconds).
4. Avoid unnecessary discussion (dinner is waiting).
5. Note the comments for future discussion.

Remember to use this format as a temporary fix, it shouldn't replace the full AAR.
