FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM -- DECEMBER 2, 2005 designate institutions as recognized providers for the identified standardized curriculum. The CO-OP will provide a training infrastructure for implementation and institutionalization that addresses the challenges experienced by State, local, and Tribal jurisdictions related to TTT efforts. O&T recognizes existing capabilities of State/local Fire and Police Academies, Universities and Community Colleges, and other certified or approved institutions to deliver identified O&T sponsored and certified training programs through TTT methods. For more detailed information on the CO-OP, please see Information Bulletin #193, dated October 20, 2005. D.S. Exercises Exercises conducted with G&T support (grant funds or direct support) must be managed and executed in accordance with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP). HSEEP Volumes I-III contain guidance and recommendations for designing, developing, conducting, and evaluating exercises. HSEEP Volume IV provides sample exercise materials. All four volumes can be found on the HSEEP website at htto:/fhseeo.dhs.gov. NIMS Compliance Exercises conducted using HSOP funding must be NIMS compliant. Training and Exercise Plan Workshop In previous guidance States have been required to conduct an annual Exercise Plan Workshop and out of that workshop, develop and implement a Multi-year Exercise Plan. In addition to this exercise requirement, States are now encouraged to coordinate exercises with training courses and produce a Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan. As part of the capabilities-based planning process, this workshop will now be modified to address training in addition to exercises. Through the Training and Exercise Plan Workshop, States will identify training and exercise priorities which align to their Homeland Security Strategies and map to the 37 Target Capabilities identified as part of the implementation of the Goal. The Training and Exercise Plan Workshop will provide States the opportunity to identify key priorities and major events over a multi-year time frame and align training and exercises in support of those priorities. A Multi-year Training and Exercise Plan will be produced from a Training and Exercise Plan Workshop and submitted to O&T through O&1's Secure Portal located at httos:l/odp.esoortals.com. The Training and Exercise Plan will include the State's training and exercise priorities (based on the homeland security strategy and previous year improvement plans), associated training and exercise capabilities, and a multi-year training and exercise schedule (to be updated annually and resubmitted to O&T within 60 days of the Workshop). The schedule should reflect all exercises that are being conducted throughout the State, not just those that are sponsored by O&T. All scheduled exercises must be entered through O&T Secure Portal (h Ups:/ / odo. esportals.com). The Training and Exercise Plan should employ a cycle of activity that includes training and exercises of increasing levels of complexity. A cycle of exercises will, at a minimum, include the completion of at least one discussion-based exercise, followed by at least one operations-based exercise building upon the lessons learned from the discussion-based exercise. For example, a jurisdiction may conduct a workshop to develop a plan, followed by a tabletop exercise to PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORATE'S or'TICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING 41
