What is evaluated during the CART process?

The CART (Contingency Assessment and Response Training) process primarily evaluates post checks, evolutions, and drills as it is designed to assess and improve the readiness and response capabilities of personnel during emergency situations. This involves a systematic review of how well teams perform specific drills, assess their responses to various scenarios, and ensure that all checks have been completed effectively. The focus on post checks and evolutions helps identify areas where individuals and teams may need additional training or adjustments to protocols to enhance overall operational readiness and safety.

While aspects like training budgets, physical fitness, and deployment strategies are critical factors in preparing personnel for various situations, they are not the central focus of the CART evaluation process itself. CART is more about assessing practical responses and operational readiness rather than financial or physical readiness, which are addressed through different means and processes.
