Study Notes
Risk Management Fundamentals
- Controls lose effectiveness over time due to factors like overconfidence and complacency.
- Controls are specifically designed to reduce or eliminate risks.
Risk Assessment Matrix
- Terms such as "frequent," "likely," "occasional," "seldom," and "unlikely" indicate the probability of adverse events occurring.
- Severity levels in the matrix include "catastrophic," "critical," "moderate," and "negligible," which describe the impact of an adverse event.
Risk Management Process Steps
- The first step is to identify hazards within a mission or operation.
- Assessing hazards entails determining the probability and severity of potential hazards.
- Develop controls and make risk decisions to weigh the risk against the benefits of mission completion.
- The fifth step involves supervising and evaluating the effectiveness of implemented controls.
Mission Planning and Hazards
- Hazards during mission planning are identified using the METT-TC framework, which evaluates Mission, Enemy, Terrain and Weather, Troops and Equipment, Time, and Civilian considerations.
- On-duty leaders are responsible for supervising hazard controls and ensuring subordinates understand their implementation.
Off-Duty Responsibilities
- Individual Soldiers are responsible for their own off-duty risk decisions.
Implementation of Controls
- Controls are communicated and coordinated through standard operating procedures (SOPs), orders, briefings, and execution orders that detail the who, what, when, where, and how.
Residual Risk
- Residual risk is defined as the risk that remains after all controls have been selected and applied.
Continuous Reassessment
- The RM process requires continuous reassessment to ensure mission benefits outweigh the risks.
Civil Considerations in Hazard Identification
- Key considerations in civil factors include the presence of pedestrians, potential riots or demonstrations, and religious events when identifying hazards in populated areas.
Risk Level Definition
- The intersection of assessed probability and severity of a hazard is referred to as the risk level in the RM process.
