Document background
The Risk Assessment Army Form is a critical document used across U.S. military operations to systematically evaluate and address potential hazards before conducting any significant military activity. This standardized form, developed in accordance with Department of Defense guidelines and Army regulations, is required whenever units plan operations, training exercises, or activities that could pose risks to personnel, equipment, or mission success. The document integrates the Army's 5-step risk management process, ensuring thorough hazard identification, risk evaluation, and implementation of control measures. It must be completed by qualified personnel and approved by appropriate command levels based on the assessed risk level. The form serves multiple purposes: as a planning tool, a legal record of due diligence, and a reference document for similar future operations.
