Study Notes

Risk Management Overview

Risk management involves identifying, assessing, and controlling operational risks while balancing risk costs with mission benefits.

Principles of Risk Management

Integrates risk management in every phase of missions and operations.
Decisions about risk are made at appropriate organizational levels.
No unnecessary risks should be accepted.
Risk management is a continual, cyclical process.

Steps for Risk Management

Identify hazards that could impact operations.
Assess the identified hazards to determine their potential impact.
Develop controls and make informed risk decisions based on the assessments.
Implement necessary controls to mitigate risks.
Supervise and evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented controls.

Probability Categories

Risks can be categorized based on likelihood:
- Frequent
- Likely
- Occasional
- Seldom
- Unlikely

Risk Levels

Risks are categorized into four levels:
- Low
- Moderate
- High
- Extremely High

Severity Levels

Severity of potential incidents is categorized as:
- Negligible
- Moderate
- Critical
- Catastrophic

Types of Controls

Controls for managing risks can be educational, physical, or involve elimination of hazards.

Deliberate Risk Management Worksheet

The DD 2977 form is utilized for documenting risk management processes.

Troop Leading Procedures

A dynamic process employed by small unit leaders for mission analysis, planning, and preparation.

Steps in Troop Leading Procedures

Receive the mission details.
Issue a warning order to notify personnel of upcoming actions.
Formulate a tentative plan for execution.
Initiate movement towards the operational area.
Conduct reconnaissance to gather information.
Finalize the operational plan.
Issue orders to subordinates.
Supervise all actions during the mission.

Individual's Role in Risk Management

Individuals must quickly identify and communicate any hazards that may jeopardize missions.

Leader's Responsibilities in Risk Management

Enforce standards for METL task performance.
Ensure personnel are well-trained in risk management practices.
Implement and assess the effectiveness of risk controls determined by command.
Promote and integrate risk management principles into all aspects of operational processes.

Definition of a Risk Decision

A risk decision is the acknowledgment by a commander or leader to accept or reject the risks associated with intended actions.
