What do the terms "catastrophic, critical, moderate, and negligible" describe in the risk
assessment matrix? - Answer Level of severity of an adverse event's effect
What is the first step in the risk management (RM) process? - Answer Identify hazards
How are hazards identified during mission planning? - Answer By applying the METT-
TC framework to examine risks posed by the mission, enemy, terrain and weather,
troops and equipment, time, and civil considerations
Which of the following is not a RM principle? - Answer Apply the RM process to
situations where serious injury might occur
You are part of a combat patrol in a foreign city. There are squad-sized insurgent forces

What METT-TC factor is at the root of the question: Do I remember the training I
received about what to do when encountering unexploded ordnance? - Answer Troops
and Equipment
What step in the risk management (RM) process is focused on determining the
probability and severity of a hazard occurring? - Answer Assess hazards
What is the intersection of the assessed probability and severity of a hazard called in
the RM process? - Answer Risk level
What is risk management (RM)? - Answer A decision-making process for identifying
hazards and controlling risks both on-duty and off-duty
What do of the terms "frequent, likely, occasional, seldom, and unlikely" describe in the
risk assessment matrix? - Answer Level of probability of an adverse event occurring
What is the purpose of the RM step, Develop Controls and Make Risk Decisions? -
Answer To determine whether the risk of an adverse event occurring is reduced enough
that the benefits of completing the mission outweigh the risks
What does "residual risk" mean in the RM process? - Answer Risk that remains after all
controls have been selected
What RM process step requires a cycle of continuous reassessment until the benefits of
completing the mission outweigh the risks of not completing it? - Answer Develop
controls and make risk decisions
