Command Post Exercise (CPX)

A Command Post Exercise (CPX) is a simulated training activity for military or emergency management personnel to practice command and control functions without deploying actual forces. It involves detailed scenarios where leaders and staff analyze information, make decisions, and coordinate responses using communication systems and planning tools. The goal is to improve strategic planning, communication, and decision-making skills, ensuring teams are prepared to effectively manage real-world situations such as emergencies or military operations. CPXs help identify strengths and weaknesses in existing procedures, facilitating better coordination and readiness.
