Configurable role profile

Control the exercise. Protect its integrity.

White Team pathways develop exercise governance: designing a scenario that will produce the intended learning, setting Rules of Engagement and safety boundaries, releasing injects at the right moment, monitoring for safety events, adjudicating contested outcomes, and running an after-action review that separates observation from finding and root cause. Controllers hold the authority to pause or stop, and that authority remains available even when exercise workloads fail.

Team-colour terminology varies by organization

CLIP maps each label to an approved, versioned role profile with explicit responsibilities, permissions, Rules of Engagement and assessment criteria. The colour itself never establishes authorization.

Mission intent

The role's purpose and its boundaries.

Govern scenario execution, Rules of Engagement, injects, safety, scoring and adjudication.

Controllers govern the active exercise but cannot alter sealed evidence
Separation of duties applies between authoring, approval, control and adjudication
Safety authority can stop an exercise independently of its operational value

Core competencies

What this pathway develops.

Competencies are versioned and mapped to organizational, NICE, relevant SKKNI or custom frameworks without duplicating the underlying evidence.

  • 01Exercise design
  • 02Exercise control
  • 03Inject management
  • 04Safety
  • 05Scoring
  • 06After-action review

Learning pathway

Progressive difficulty, evidence at every step.

  1. 01FoundationStructured learning and prerequisites.
  2. 02Guided labSupervised practice with checkpoints.
  3. 03Team labCoordination and handoffs within the role.
  4. 04Integrated exerciseMulti-team scenario under exercise control.
  5. 05AssessmentObserved performance and assessor adjudication.

In sequence: Foundation knowledge leads into a guided laboratory, then a team laboratory, then an integrated multi-team exercise, and finally an assessment that produces competency evidence.

Representative scenarios

How the pathway is exercised.

  • Multi-team wargame

    Coordinating Red, Blue, Purple and Gold participation across one mission.

  • Crisis tabletop

    Running an inject-driven decision exercise without live infrastructure.

  • Emergency-stop drill

    Verifying that containment initiates within the tested threshold.

Tools and environments

Capability categories, not a tool list.

Specific tooling is selected per deployment after security, licence and air-gap review. The categories below describe what the pathway needs to work.

  • Exercise control and inject management surfaces
  • Safety monitoring independent of learner-controlled systems
  • Scoring, adjudication and after-action workspaces

Evidence of competence

What observable behaviour supports readiness.

A readiness claim for this role must trace back to these artifacts. Evidence freshness is tracked separately from current competence, so an expired record never silently counts as a current one.

How readiness is calculated
  • Approval record for scenario, scope and Rules of Engagement
  • Exercise log with inject provenance
  • Safety events and how each was handled
  • Adjudication decisions with rationale
  • After-action review quality and closure rate

Collaboration

Upstream and downstream handoffs.

No role operates alone. These are the relationships that make this pathway useful to the wider mission.

  • Authorises and governs every other team's activity within the exercise

  • Escalates strategic decisions to Gold Team

  • Works with Gray Team observers on independent assessment

Metrics

Operational and learning measures.

What the platform can measure for this role. Targets are baselined with each organization rather than claimed in advance.

  • Scenario completion and inject delivery accuracy
  • Scoring consistency
  • Emergency-stop time
  • After-action closure rate
