26. Scope This chapter describes the steps used in the development of all types of exercises. With the exception of the paragraph on directive prepa- ration, a step-by-step process for the develop- ment of all exercises and variations caused by the different echelons of commands is outlined in general terms. Directive preparation re- ceives more detailed treatment since a properly formulated directive is necessary for future planning in all types of exercises. Variations introduced by the many different types of ex- ercises are discussed in later chapters. In gen- eral, however, the steps used in the develop- ment of all types of exercises are similar. 27. Realism a. Soldiers learn best by doing. For this reason, training doctrine emphasizes that theory must give way to practical exercise as quickly as possible. b.
