PurposeThis pamphlet establishes a framework for making risk Management a routine and required part of planning, preparing,and executing missions and everyday tasks in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) andArmy Regulation (AR) 385 10. This framework allows army leaders to operate with maximum initiative, flexibility,and adaptability.

10 army operations, whether they involve military situations including tough, realistic training, combatoperations, contingency basing, or the industrial base supporting research, development, testing, and production, aredemanding and complex. They are all inherently dangerous and each has the potential to jeopardize Soldiers and Armycivilians, resulting in the needless loss of limited resources. Managing risks related to such operations requires educatedjudgment, situational knowledge, demonstrated experience, and professional competence.
