Q

How does the Army define a hazard

?

  • damage, loss, or destruction of equipment and property
  • degradation of capabilities or mission failure

Q

How does RM fit into METT-TC?

A

M-Mission: what hazards associate w mission?
E-Enemy: what can enemy do to defeat/degrade mission
T-Terrain/weather: environmental hazards?
T-Troops and equipment: hazards w level of training, staffing, equipment maintenance/condition
T-Time: time to prepare 2/3 rule?
C-Civil considerations: will ops threaten civilians

16
Q

4 levels of severity?

A
  • catastrophic
  • critical
  • moderate
  • negligible
17
Q

Specific risk levels?

A
  • extremely high: mission failure likely
  • high: mission degraded; partially complete; below standard
  • medium: mission complete, but below standards
  • Low: little or no negative impact on mission
18
Q

Definition of “controls”

A

Controls reduce or eliminate hazards, which may result in reduced risk level

In developing controls, consider the reason for the hazard (cause vs symptom)

19
Q

What are effective controls?

A

Effective controls must be suitable, feasible, and acceptable; they’re no good if they cant be implemented

Effective controls specify who, what, where, when, and how

20
Q

What are the sources of controls?

A

Sources that can provide or ID possible control measures

  • Lessons-learned
  • RMIS
  • AAR’s
  • personal experience
21
Q

How to perform step 4 reassess hazards?

A

After controls are applied you reassess hazards

  • determine residual risk for each hazard
  • never higher than initial risk
22
Q

How to determine overall mission risk?

A
  • the highest risk hazard
    or
  • the number and types of hazards may make overall risk higher than any single hazard
23
Q

How are controls implemented?

A
  • integrate into SOP, TTP, Orders, briefings
  • convert into clear and simple execution orders
  • communicate among all concerned
24
Q

Methods of explaining risk controls?

A
  • graphics
  • drills/rehearsals
  • training
  • communications (voice/digits)
25
Q

When do you perform step 5: supervise and evaluate?

A

Supervise and evaluation occurs through all phases

26
Q

When evaluating you should?

A
  • ID new hazards
  • Assess controls
  • Assess accuracy of residual risk (did it really lower)
  • ensure compliance w guiding principles of RM
27
Q

What are the guiding principles of RM?

A
  • did we fully integrate RM
  • were risk decisions made at the right level
  • were unnecessary risks accepted
  • did we apply RM cyclically and continuously
28
Q

What is the individual responsibility during RM?

A
  • situational awareness (ID and report risks)
  • follow command guidance
  • self discipline on/off duty
  • know and use RM tools (ATP 5-19 and USACRC website)
