“No matter how exhausted from an operation or how busy planning for the next mission, time is made for this debrief because lives and future mission success depend on it.  A post-operational debrief examines all phases of an operation from planning through execution, in a concise format.  It addresses the following for the combat mission just completed: What went right?  What went wrong?  How can we adapt our tactics to make us even more effective and increase our advantage over the enemy?  Such self-examination allows SEAL units to reevaluate, enhance, and refine what worked and what didn’t so that they can constantly improve.  It is critical for the success of any team in any business to do the same and implement those changes into their future plans so that they don’t repeat the same mistakes.” ~ Leif Babin, Extreme Ownership (Page 208)
