Effective DMEx require more than just technical planning; they need enthusiastic support and active participation from the top. When senior leaders champion these exercises, it signals their importance to the entire organization, ensuring:
Resource allocation: Necessary funding, personnel, and equipment are made available.
Prioritization: DMEx are given the attention and time they deserve amidst other commitments.
Buy-in from all levels: Staff at every tier understand the value and participate seriously.
Accountability: Leaders can ensure that lessons learned are implemented and improvements are made.
Without this strong leadership, DMEx can become mere formalities, losing their effectiveness in genuinely enhancing preparedness.
