How are "lessons learned" from past operations incorporated into ESWS training?

The incorporation of "lessons learned" from past operations into ESWS training is primarily achieved through the review and analysis of those missions. This process involves examining what actions were effective, where mistakes were made, and how decisions impacted outcomes. By systematically evaluating these factors, the training can be enhanced to build on successful tactics and avoid repeating past errors. This iterative learning process fosters continuous improvement, ultimately leading to better preparedness and performance in future operations.

In contrast, developing entirely new training protocols may not take advantage of hard-won insights, ignoring valuable information that could inform improvements. Overlooking past failures or focusing solely on current technology would undermine the importance of historical context and proven strategies, potentially leading to the same mistakes being made again. Similarly, ensuring that no changes are made to existing methods would stifle innovation and the evolution of tactics based on real-world experiences, which is not conducive to effective training in an environment that continuously changes.
