exercise planning and execution with contingency plans and lessons learned. CPS was developed as
a successor to Pacific Area's Exercise (PEX) and Atlantic Area's Exercise (LEX) databases.
5. DISCUSSION.
a. CPS provides an efficient means of entering, integrating, managing, and monitoring Contingency
Plans, Concept of Exercise (COE) reports, capturing After Action Reports (AARs), Lessons
Learned (LL), and Best Practices (BP) from operations, contingency responses, and exercises.
