During which phase does the case agent conduct a post-operational briefing?

• A. Planning Phase
• B. Execution Phase
• C. Evaluation Phase
• D. Termination Phase

Answer: (C)

Post-operational debriefs happen after the operation to assess how it went, what worked well, what didn’t, and what can be improved. This is the evaluation phase, which focuses on analyzing performance, documenting outcomes, and identifying lessons learned to inform future operations. The planning phase is about preparing before action, the execution phase is carrying out the tasks, and the termination phase is closing out the case. So the post-operational briefing belongs in the evaluation phase.
