Front 1

What army regulation covers risk management

Back 1

atp 5-19, april 2014

Front 2

What are the risk management steps?

Back 2

1. Identify the hazards

2. assess the hazards

3. develop controls and make risk decisions

4. implement controls

5. supervise and evaluate

Front 3

What is risk management?

Back 3

Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks arising from
operational factors and making decisions that balance risk cost with mission benefits (JP 3-0). The Army
uses risk management (RM) to help maintain combat power while ensuring mission accomplishment in
current and future operations. RM applies to operations and to nonoperational activities.

Front 4

What are the principles of RM?

Back 4

The principles of RM are—
 Integrate RM into all phases of missions and operations.
 Make risk decisions at the appropriate level.
 Accept no unnecessary risk.
 Apply RM cyclically and continuously

Front 5

How should RM be applied?

Back 5

cyclically and continuously

Front 6

What are the risk levels?

Back 6

 Extremely high (EH).
 High (H).
 Medium (M).
 Low (L).

Front 7

How is the level of risk determined?

Back 7

By using the risk assessment matrix - Table 1-1 ATP 5-19

Front 8

What are the substeps for step 2 (assess the hazards)?

Back 8

Estimate a probability for occurance (Frequent, likely, occasional, seldom, unlikely)

Estimate the expected severity of an occurence (catastrophic, severe, moderate, negligable)

Determine the level of risk (extremely high, high, medium, low)

Front 9

What are the substeps for step 3 (develop controls and make risk decisions)?

Back 9

1. develop controls

2. make risk decisions

Front 10

Three categories of controls

Back 10

Educational controls.
 Physical controls.
 Hazard elimination controls.

Front 11

What is the criteria for effective controls?

Back 11

ffective controls meet the eight criteria of effectiveness (see descriptions in table 1-3):
 Feasibility.
 Acceptability.
 Suitability.
 Support.
 Explicitness.
 Standards.
 Training.
 Leadership.
 The individual.

Front 12

What might you do to implement controls?

Back 12

Overlays and graphics.
 Drills for vehicle and aircraft silhouette identification.
 Rehearsals and battle drills.
 Refresher training on intensive threat and friendly vehicle identification for all anti-armor and air
defense weapons crews.
 Installation and maintenance of communications links for key civilian organizations.
 Operation of convoys with a prescribed minimum number of vehicles.
 Provisions to carry weapons and wear body armor and helmets when outside secure compounds.
 Accident awareness, safety briefings, and warnings.

Front 13

What is the army form for deliberate risk assessment?

Back 13

DD FOrm 2977 - document risk mgmt steps during planning, preparation, and execution

Front 14

The composite risk management form is now obsolete ( da form 7566)
