Leaders and managers are responsible for integrating risk management into all Army processes and operations. Risk management is the Army’s process for helping organizations and individuals make informed decisions to reduce or offset risk. Using this process increases operational effectiveness and the probability of mission accomplishment. It is a systematic way of identifying hazards, assessing them, and managing the associated risks.
While safety-related, risk management is not contained solely within the protection warfighting function. Commanders, staffs, Army leaders, Soldiers, and Army civilians integrate RM into all planning, preparing, executing, and assessing of operations. The process applies to all types of operations, tasks, and activities.
Commanders ensure first-line supervisors apply the process, where it has the greatest impact. Individuals should also use the process for off-duty activities.
