At the start of the exercise it is most common to use S.M.E.A.C. to brief your team.

Our squadron has a Leadership Exercise Night every month. These exercises involve using a team of cadets and equipment to complete a specific objective, testing the skills of the leader. Usually we have 4 flights, which have a reasonable number of cadets. There are 3 different exercises that each flight will have completed by the end of the night.
