NARR/REF (A) REQUIRES SUBMISSION OF APPROVED AFTER ACTION REPORTS,
HOT WASH REP0RTS, OBSERVATIONS, BRIEFINGS OR OTHER MEDIA THAT
INCLUDE LESSONS LEARNED OR RECOMMENDATIONS.//
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. PURPOSE.  TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE ON
TIMING AND OCCASIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF AFTER ACTION REPORTS (AARS)
AND LESSONS LEARNED MATERIAL.
2.  BACKGROUND. 
A.  THE FOUNDATION OF AN EFFECTIVE AND DYNAMIC LESSONS LEARNED
PROGRAM IS THE ACTIVE SUBMISSION OF AFTER ACTION REPORTS (AAR),
OBSERVATIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIAL BY
OPERATING FORCES.  COLLECTION AND DISSEMINATION OF THIS MATERIAL
SERVES TWO PRIMARY PURPOSES:
(1) DISSEMINATION ALLOWS OTHER DEPLOYING UNITS TO QUICKLY BENEFIT
FROM THESE HARD-EARNED OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCES, AND (2) THIS
MATERIAL CAN BE USED BY ADVOCATES AND PROPONENTS CHARGED WITH
IMPROVING HOW MARINE FORCES ARE ORGANIZED, TRAINED, EQUIPPED AND
PROVIDED TO COMBATANT COMMANDERS TO  MAKE ANY NEEDED INSTITUTIONAL
CHANGES TO DOCTRINE, ORGANIZATION, TRAINING, MATERIEL, LEADERSHIP
AND EDUCATION, PERSONNEL AND FACILITIES (DOTMLPF). 
B.  MCCLL HAS DEVELOPED VERSION 1.0 OF AN AAR BUILDER WITHIN THE
ONLINE LESSON MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS) TO STANDARDIZE AND FACILITATE
THE ASSEMBLY OF UNITS' AARS.  UPGRADES TO THIS SYSTEM WILL BE
INCORPORATED AS USAGE INCREASES.  A MOBILE LMS APPLICATION IS ALSO
BEING DEVELOPED FOR USE WHEN CONNECTIVITY OR BANDWIDTH RESTRICTS
ACCESS TO THE MCCLL WEBSITE.  THE MOBILE LMS WILL ALLOW ENTRY OF
INDIVIDUAL LESSONS AS TIME PERMITS, AND LATER, COLLATION OF THOSE
LESSONS INTO A UNIT AAR.
3.  ACTION.  WHILE THE ONLINE LESSONS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CAN BE USED
AT ANY TIME TO ENTER OPERATIONAL OBSERVATIONS TO FACILITATE A RAPID
INCORPORATION OF LESSONS LEARNED INTO TRAINING AND OTHER DOTMLPF
FUNCTIONS, ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO COMPLETE AND SUBMIT
AAR LESSONS, OBSERVATIONS AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIAL WITHIN 30 DAYS
OF COMPLETING A DEPLOYMENT, MAJOR EXERCISE OR OPERATION.  LESSONS
AND AARS MAY BE SUMBITTED ELECTRONICALLY BY ACCESSING THE MCCLL
WEBSITE AT HTTP://WWW.MCCLL.USMC.MIL <HTTP://WWW.MCCLL.USMC.MIL>
FOR NIPR NET AND HTTP://WWW.MCCLL.USMC.SMIL.MIL FOR CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.
4.  THIS BULLETIN IS ALSO APPLICABLE TO THE MARINE CORPS RESERVE.
5.  CONTENT OF THIS MARADMIN WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO A FUTURE
REVISION OF REF (A).
