Lessons Learned

• 1 - AE Planner Needs to Be Involved Early
• Projected Laydown and Requirements
• Subject Matter Expert on UTC Capabilities
• 2 AE as a Player in MSCA
• Support When Tasked With Validated Requirements
• Military vs Civilian C2 are Always Issues But
  Workable
• Title 10 vs Title 32 are Big Players for AE
• Take Aways for Future
• Patient Preparation Issues, Coordinated Planning
• Bottom Line
• We Match Capabilities to Defined, Validated
  Requirements
