What type of feedback is important during the assessment step of DIDEA?

During the assessment step of DIDEA, performance feedback on engagement effectiveness is crucial because it directly relates to evaluating how well the engagement met the established objectives. This feedback allows for a clear understanding of what tactics, techniques, and procedures worked effectively during the direct fire engagement and what did not. Analyzing the effectiveness of engagement helps in refining strategies for future operations and enhancing overall combat readiness.

While feedback on team morale, suggestions for equipment upgrades, and general observations of the battlefield are valuable, they do not specifically address the core purpose of the assessment step, which focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of the direct fire engagements themselves. Performance feedback zeroes in on outcomes and allows for targeted adjustments to improve future mission success.
