RESPONSIBILITIES
The EEPM is responsible for leading and supervising discussion- and operations-based exercise design, development, conduct, evaluation, and improvement planning and supporting related functions, including training, competency-building, and integrated resiliency and preparedness initiatives external to the vendor’s organization. The EEPM will be expected to identify stakeholder groups and garner maximal participation and collaboration in exercise activities from stakeholders within one or more critical infrastructure sectors. The EEPM supervises assigned staff and functional areas of an external exercise project, including concept and objectives, scope and scale, project planning, leveraging external staffing and resources, leveraging local staffing and resources, stakeholder engagement and collaboration, team building and leadership, time and resource management, promoting inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility, occupational safety and health, evaluation strategies, capability targeting, and after-action reporting.

The EEPM supports the sustained delivery of a comprehensive full-spectrum exercise support service in compliance with Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) guidelines. HSEEP defines two types of exercises: discussion-based and operations-based. Discussion-based exercises familiarize participants with plans, policies, agreements, and procedures. Examples of these exercises are seminars, workshops, tabletop exercises, and games. Operations-based exercises validate the plans, policies, agreements, and procedures that were reviewed in discussion-based exercises. Examples of operations-based exercises are drills, functional exercises, and full-scale exercises.
