• B. An independent auditor
• C. The Exercise Controller
• D. External media outlets

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The Exercise Controller

In a TTEx, the Exercise Controller (or facilitation team led by the Controller) acts as the central point of contact for managing the flow of the scenario. Their role involves:

• Introducing scenario elements: Providing new information, updates, or challenges as the exercise progresses (e.g., "A new report just came in stating X," or "Communication lines to Area Y are down").

• Delivering injects: These are pre-planned or dynamic inputs that simulate real-world events, designed to test specific aspects of the participants' plans, decision-making, and coordination.

• Guiding the discussion: Ensuring the exercise stays on track and that all key objectives are addressed.
