What is the goal of risk management?

The fundamental goal of risk management is to enhance operational capabilities and mission accomplishment, with acceptable loss.

FM 3-100.12 page I-1, para 2

44

Discuss the 4 principles of risk management.

1. Accept No Unnecessary Risk.

An unnecessary risk is any risk that, if taken, will not contribute meaningfully to mission accomplishment or will needlessly endanger lives or resources. No one intentionally accepts unnecessary risks. The most logical choices for accomplishing a mission are those that meet all mission requirements while exposing personnel and resources to the lowest acceptable risk. All military operations and off-duty activities involve some risk. The risk management process identifies threats that might otherwise go unidentified and provides tools to reduce or offset risk. The corollary to this axiom is “accept necessary risk” required to successfully complete the mission or task.

45

2. Make Risk Decisions at the Appropriate Level.Anyone can make a risk decision; however, the appropriate level for risk decisions is the one that can make decisions to eliminate or minimize the threat, implement controls to reduce the risk, or accept the risk. Commanders at all levels must ensure that subordinates know how much risk they can accept and when to elevate the decision to a higher level. Ensuring that risk decisions are made at the appropriate level will establish clear accountability. The risk management process must include those accountable for the mission. After the commander, leader, or individual responsible for executing the mission or task determines that controls available to them will not reduce risk to an acceptable level, they must elevate decisions to the next level in the chain of command.


46

3. Accept Risk When Benefits Outweigh the Cost.

The process of weighing risks against opportunities and benefits helps to maximize mission success. Balancing costs and benefits is a subjective process and must remain a leader's decision.


47


4. Anticipate and Manage Risk by Planning. Integrate risk management into planning at all levels. Commanders must dedicate time and resources to apply risk management effectively in the planning process, where risks can be more readily assessed and managed. Integrating risk management into planning as early as possible provides leaders the greatest opportunity to make well-informed decisions and implement effective risk controls. During execution phases of operations, the risk management process must be applied to address previously unidentified risks while continuing to evaluate the effectiveness of existing risk control measures and modify them as required.
