Study Notes
Risk Management Principles
- FM 100-14 emphasizes the importance of risk management for conserving combat power and resources.
- Risk management is the systematic process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks related to operational factors while balancing risk costs with mission benefits.
Goals and Benefits of Risk Management
- Aims to conserve lives and resources while avoiding unnecessary risks.
- Supports informed decision-making to implement a Course of Action (COA).
- Identifies practical control measures when specific guidelines are lacking.
Fundamental Concepts
- Risk management is applicable at all levels, involving leaders and soldiers across various Army operations.
- It is integral to mission planning, execution, and preparation, ensuring risks are assessed at appropriate levels within the command structure.
Limitations of Risk Management
- Does not inhibit commanders or leaders' flexibility or initiative.
- Does not eliminate risks or adopt a zero defects mentality.
- Does not necessitate a GO/NO GO decision or sanction legal violations.
- Does not eliminate the need for standardized drills and procedures.
Risk Management Process Overview
- Focuses on identifying and controlling hazards to optimize combat resources.
- Involves five critical steps: identifying hazards; assessing risks; developing and implementing controls; and continuous supervision and evaluation.
Types of Risks
- Distinguishes between Tactical Risk (related to enemy presence) and Accident Risk (all other operational risks, including hazards to personnel, civilians, and the environment).
Steps in Risk Management
- Steps 1 and 2 prioritize risk assessment to bolster situational awareness: identifying hazards and evaluating their direct impacts on missions.
- Steps 3 to 5 emphasize the necessity of follow-through: balancing risks, continuous assessment during execution, and evaluating the effectiveness of implemented controls.
Hazard Identification
- Involves recognizing hazards to personnel, property, and mission effectiveness while accounting for current and future operational conditions.
- Requires consideration of METT-TC (Mission, Enemy, Terrain, Troops, Time, and civilian considerations).
Conditions Affecting Risk
- Five key hazard conditions influence risk management effectiveness: complexity of mission; terrain/environment; available equipment; experience; morale; and training.
Risk Management Terminology
- Key terms to understand include Hazard (potential condition for harm), Probability (likelihood of occurrence), Severity (expected impact), Exposure (frequency and duration of hazard exposure), and Controls (actions to mitigate risk).
Understanding Risks and Their Impact
- Risks represent the chance of negative outcomes due to hazards.
- Probability categories: Frequent (often), Likely (several times), Occasional (sporadic), Seldom (rarely), Unlikely (not expected).
- Severity refers to the expected consequence of an event, while exposure pertains to how often and how long soldiers, equipment, and missions face a hazard.
