Historically, the U. S. Army has suffered more losses to accidents (including fratricide) than to enemy action while deployed in combat theaters. Typically, these accidents are the same types experienced in peacetime during exercises at home station and at combat training centers (CTCs). A battle-focused training program can identify and correct the reasons for these accidents and protect the force. Effective force protection provides the commander a full measure of combat power for use at the decisive point and time. Combat power is generated by men and machines performing battlefield operating system (BOS) functions in the operational environment. The seven BOS functions are maneuver, fire support, air defense, battle command, intelligence, mobility and survivability and combat service support. Accidents occur when performance of these functions is below standard due to human error, materiel failure or inadequate precautions for environmental factors. As in any after-action review, identifying below-standard performance tells what happened, but is only the first step to improvement. The second step is to identify the reasons why it happened. These reasons are found in factors that affect the ability of BOS functions to protect the force.

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.

Objective of the assessment is to identify unit strengths and weaknesses in force protection (safety) and risk management and to produce recommendations for sustainment or improvement in these areas. b. The assessment procedure and tools presented below are also described pages 6-9 of the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) Newsletter, "Risk Management for Brigades and Battalions", Jun 95.

A. Objective of the assessment is to identify unit strengths and weaknesses in force protection (safety) and risk management and to produce recommendations for sustainment or improvement in these areas. b. The assessment procedure and tools presented below are also described in pages 6-9 of the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) Newsletter, "Risk Management for Brigades and Battalions", Jun 95. c.. The assessment will help your unit to identify: (1) Who will probably have the next accident (individual soldiers and unit elements). (2) What kind of accidents will probably happen (METL task, type accident and reasons/sources of the accident cause factors). (3) What to do about it (commander's guidance and improvements in SOP, training, support, standards enforcement and guidance for soldiers). d. The assessment tools should be administered to as many of the unit's soldiers/leaders as time and availability permit. Minimum recommended sample of soldiers and leaders is 33% at each echelon from Platoon to Brigade.

Today's Army is challenged by a wide range of threats and operating environments. These challenges, plus new technologies, require our leaders to use creative measures to provide positive protection to our Soldiers and equipment. In April 1998, Field Manual (FM) 100-14 (FM 5-19) introduced to the Army the first doctrinal publication on risk management. It detailed the application of a step-by-step process to conserve combat power and resources. This milestone manual outlined a framework that leaders could use to make force protection a routine part of planning, preparing, and executing operational, training, and garrison missions. Before the outset of the global war on terrorism it became apparent that FM 100-14 would require updating to meet the needs of the future. Army assessments also indicated that the existing manual needed to be expanded to provide clear standards and guidance on how the risk management process was to be applied. This led to this current revision. During development of this revision the Army broadened its understanding of the risk management process to encompass all operations and activities, on and off duty. This holistic approach focuses on the composite risks from all sources rather than the traditional practice of separating accident from tactical hazards and associated risks. This revision has been refocused to clearly reflect the Army's new composite approach, and has been retitled Composite Risk Management (CRM). CRM represents a culture change for the Army. It departs from the past cookie cutter safety and risk management mentality through teaching Soldiers “how to think” rather than telling them “what to think.” This manual expands the context of the original FM by focusing on the application of composite risk management to the military decisionmaking process (MDMP) and the Army training management system. It further assigns the responsibilities for conducting risk management training during initial entry training and professional military education. It is a tool that works in conjunction with the Army's on-going initiative to firmly attach CRM to all Army processes. It is a milestone document for the standardization and institutionalization of the techniques, tools, and procedures that lead to sound decisionmaking and valid risk acceptance by leaders at all levels. This revision is a full rewrite of FM 100-14. It marks a break with the past by integrating the CRM process into Army operations. CRM is not a stand-alone process, a “paper work” drill, or an add-on feature. Rather, it is used as a fully-integrated element of detailed planning. It must be so integrated as to allow it to be executed intuitively in situations that require immediate action. CRM should be viewed as part of the military art interwoven throughout the Army's military decisionmaking and training management cycles.

This book describes how future Army forces, as part of joint, interorganizational, and multinational efforts, operate to accomplish campaign objectives and protect U.S. national interests. It describes the Army's contribution to globally integrated operations, and addresses the need for Army forces to provide foundational capabilities for the Joint Force and to project power onto land and from land across the air, maritime, space, and cyberspace domains. The Army Operating Concept guides future force development through the identification of first order capabilities that the Army must possess to accomplish missions in support of policy goals and objectives.

Tunnell¿s memoir is the history of one Soldier¿s and one unit¿s experience in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Personal accounts of war are a critical aspect of understanding that immensely complex phenomenon. Using a journal which he kept during the war, then reflecting on his experiences while recovering from the wounds he suffered, LTC Tunnell tells the story of the 1st Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment in Northern Iraq. The story of the Red Devils covers that crucial period of time from early 2003 when the Army prepared for war, through the end of so called 'major combat operations¿, and into the start of the insurgency and counterinsurgency. This is a first hand account of Operation Iraqi Freedom¿s earliest period.
