Safe Army Now: A Commander's Guide for Increased Readiness

Abstract

One of the toughest issues associated with Army readiness is overcoming the perceived dichotomy between realistic training and safety. Basically, the problem lies in our failure to integrate safety with the demand for realistic combat training. Too often we view the elements separately, with safety seen as an inhibitor to training. This pamphlet is designed to help commanders conduct safe, tough, realistic training. The risk management technique described herein makes safety part of the process commanders use in developing tactical operations. This technique can help resolve the safety versus mission conflicts that commanders wrestle with today. Safety goes hand-in-gloves with a leader's responsibilities to safeguard his soldiers and to protect and conserve the equipment entrusted to him.
