"There are seven types of exercises in the building block approach. Each exercise type falls into one of two categories. The two categories of exercises are Discussionbased exercises and Operations-based exercises... Discussion-based exercises, as the name suggests, center on participant discussion... Operations-based exercises focus on action-oriented activities such as deployment of resources and personnel".
