I know I don't see the top side of this being where I'm at but what's the point of AAR's? Do you think they improve anything? Does it take a measure of time?
I say this because when you see the same thing over and over again it makes you wonder. Then you see Top or SGM roll in, get pissed about what you found negative in the first place and boom problem solved.

A well done AAR can mean the diff between life and death for soldiers. An AAR that is done poorly is a waste of time- garbage in garbage out. But that's like most things: counselings, PT, development plans, etc.

Goes with anything, it is what you make of it, if you learn from them, then good if you are afraid to tell the emperor he is nacked then no

In theory, AARs are reviewed prior to executing similar training or missions in the future in order to refine performance and eliminate frictions to execution. In practice, that means they have to be accessible (there's the rub, in my opinion) and part of the unit SOP or checklist during the planning process.
If your unit doesn't do that, you will see the same issues crop up repeatedly.
