An "out brief" is an after action report. It’s a military term that the TSA has adopted, and the military uses to discuss what worked and what did not, and why. It provides both the testers and the tested opportunities to learn from each other and improve performance on both sides.

Oh, and BTW, the Red Team only provides notice of a test to the local law enforcement agency who are required by federal law to not notify those being tested. That way it cuts down on the casualties of an unformed police officer charging into a test situation thinking it’s a real-world incident.
