Study Notes
Composite Risk Management (CRM) Overview
- CRM trains Soldiers, Army Civilians, Commanders, and Managers to manage risks effectively in missions and off-duty activities.
- It is the Army's primary decision-making tool to identify hazards, reduce risks, and prevent losses.
CRM Process Steps
- Assessment steps include identifying and assessing hazards.
- Key management steps consist of developing controls, making risk decisions, implementing controls, and supervising evaluations.
- The fifth step involves ensuring compliance with CRM principles and practices.
Risk Assessment Terms
- Residual risk is the risk that remains after implementing control measures.
- Risk level is determined by the intersection of assessed probability and severity of a hazard.
- The severity levels include catastrophic, critical, marginal, and negligible.
Hazard Identification
- Hazards during mission planning are identified using the METT-TC framework, which considers mission objectives, enemy forces, terrain, weather, troops and equipment, time, and civil considerations.
- Primary METT-TC factors related to decision-making include enemy capabilities and troops' knowledge.
Controlling Risks
- Controls are measures designed to reduce or eliminate identified risks.
- Effective communication and integration of controls into standard operating procedures (SOPs) are critical for successful implementation.
- Continuous reassessment is necessary to ensure that the benefits of completing a mission outweigh associated risks.
Off-Duty Risk Management
- Off-duty risks are evaluated similarly, with consideration given to ADTPTL (Acronym for Awareness, Development, Training, Protection, Time, Location).
- Questions addressing potential outside influences help in planning off-duty activities.
Hazards and Risks in Context
- While assessing the Civilian factor in a combat environment, consider hazards like pedestrians, riots, demonstrations, and religious gatherings.
- Factors such as overconfidence and complacency can diminish the effectiveness of established controls over time.
Important Questions in CRM
- Questions integral to risk assessment include the accuracy of risk decisions and supervision of hazard controls during operations.
- Ensuring all personnel understand their role in risk management is vital for operational success.
Purpose of CRM
- The primary goal of CRM is to minimize risks that could harm personnel, damage equipment, or hinder mission effectiveness.
