What type of information is included in an exercise plan?

An exercise plan is designed to provide comprehensive information to all participants involved in the exercise, ensuring that everyone understands their roles, responsibilities, and the overall objectives of the event. This type of information typically includes details about the scenario being tested, the timelines for the exercise, guidelines for participation, safety protocols, and logistical considerations. By including such information, the exercise plan facilitates coordinated efforts among all participants, promotes effective communication, and enhances the overall success of the exercise.

In contrast, other choices provide information that is not essential for all participants. Confidential details of evaluators would be limited to those involved in the evaluation process and would not contribute to the participants' understanding of their roles. Legal disclaimers and waivers address liability concerns but do not guide the flow or conduct of the exercise itself. Cost estimates, while important for planning, are typically used internally by the organizing team and are not pertinent to participants’ understanding of their involvement in the exercise. Thus, the choice that emphasizes broad access to essential information for all participants aligns best with the purpose of an exercise plan.
