A Modern Acceptable Level of Risk Model for the Operational Maritime Commander in the Great Power Competition Era

Abstract

To effectively face a peer competitor in the Great Power era, the U.S. Navy will require a modern risk assessment model to effectively accomplish maritime objectives in support of the joint force effort towards operational and strategic objectives during a high-end fight. Modernizing the current risk assessment process of identifying hazards, determining frequency, and impacts into a broader acceptable level of risk (ALR) construct, like that of the U.S. Air Force, will enable commanders to better communicate risk acceptance levels and intent in the distributed maritime operations (DMO) model of fleet employment. Additionally, tactical-level commanders will better understand the boundaries or limits of risk acceptance at the tactical level when executing mission command within the DMO concept.
