Where is an exercise program's long-term strategy and methodology outlined?

The long-term strategy and methodology of an exercise program are effectively outlined in the Multiyear Exercise Plan. This document serves as a comprehensive framework that provides guidance on how exercises will be conducted over an extended timeframe, typically detailing the types of exercises to be implemented, overall goals, objectives, and timelines.

By integrating various components such as training requirements, resource allocation, and assessment methods, the Multiyear Exercise Plan ensures that the exercise activities align with overall preparedness goals. This strategic perspective allows organizations to plan and prioritize exercises that develop the necessary capabilities and address identified gaps over multiple years. Thus, it plays a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing emergency management practices in a systematic manner.

Other options, while valuable in their context—like the Annual Review Plan, which focuses on yearly assessments; the Exercise Operations Guide, which details specific operational procedures; and the Exercise Evaluation Framework, which focuses on evaluation methodologies—do not provide the broader strategic vision that the Multiyear Exercise Plan accomplishes.
