RECON Professional: Tabletop Exercise Design & Facilitation Toolkit
**Plan with purpose. Facilitate with clarity. Turn findings into action.**
**RECON Professional: Tabletop Exercise Design & Facilitation Toolkit** helps security, facilities, and operations professionals prepare structured discussion exercises, guide meaningful decisions, and turn observations into practical improvements.
Designed for physical security managers, operational supervisors, exercise facilitators, and training coordinators, this package combines professional guidance with a complete fictional exercise and reusable tools.
**Inside the toolkit:**
- **26-page Professional Guide** covering objectives, scenario design, inject development, facilitation, evaluation, and improvement planning.
- **18-page Facilitator Control Pack** with a 90-minute agenda, opening script, six timed injects, controller response rules, and observer guidance.
