Leader's Guide to Force Protection through Risk Management
Abstract
The Leader's Guide to Force Protection through Risk Management is designed to serve as both a quick and a comprehensive reference on risk management and force protection in today's force-projection Army. It is intended for use by commanders and other leaders, planners, and operators in brigades, battalions, and smaller units. The first section defines risk management and illustrates the relationship between force protection and operations. Section 2 provides examples of hazards associated with common tasks and missions along with control measures to reduce risks associated with the hazards. Subsections are arranged by topic. To use them most efficiently when time is short: (1) find the task(s) related to your mission; (2) review the list of possible hazards, and select the appropriate controls to reduce the risks to your force. (It is important to remember that the lists arc general and are not all inclusive. Hazards listed should be addressed in addition to not instead of the hazards identified by ris? assessment of the specific mission); (3) embed the selected controls in the appropriate paragraphs or graphics of your OFORD, FRAGO, or plan; and, 6) Enforce the control measures in the same manner as all other aspects of the order. Section 3 focuses on special conditions that may produce hazards unique to force-projection operations in various geographical locations. Applicable material in this section should be used to supplement that in section 2. Section 4 contains additional tactics, techniques, and procedures. Tailor and use these risk management-integration tools to meet your training and operational requirements. Remember, no single tool or technique alone can adequately protect the force. And tactics, techniques, and procedures applied without disciplined execution will not work.
