Sheepdog Tip of the Day, After Combat tip 66
Artwohl and Christensen, Deadly Force Encounters: A debriefing is any discussion after an event that helps the participants come to terms with it, and learn from it. Hopefully, it helps to gain closure so that event will not continue to cause emotional distress. An informal debriefing can simply be a discussion that arises spontaneously after an event, while a formal debriefing takes the discussion one step further because it's organized and facilitated to ensure it helps everyone.
