1. What is risk management (RM)?

(1) A decision-making process for managing day-to-day schedules when there are conflicts ** (2) A decision-making process for identifying hazards and controlling risks both on-duty and off-duty (3) A tool for leadership to manage workflow and activities while on-duty (4) A tool for evaluating mission readiness and likelihood of equipment failure

5. You are part of a combat patrol in a foreign city. There are squad-sized insurgent forces operating in the area. What are key considerations when identifying hazards associated with the Civil
Considerations factor of METT-TC?

(1) Limited visibility, high winds, or extreme weather

(2) Pedestrians at the market, riots or demonstrations, and/or religious events taking place

(3) Fields of fire, avenues of approach, obstacles, and cover and concealment

(4) Vehicle maintenance and qualified drivers

(2) Pedestrians at the market, riots or demonstrations, and/or religious events taking place

6. 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?

(1) Mission

(2) Terrain and Weather

(3) Troops and Equipment

(4) Enemy

(3) Troops and Equipment

7. How are hazards identified during mission planning?

(1) By examining past performance, equipment failure, and civilian accident data

(2) By applying the METT-TC framework to examine risks posed by the mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and equipment, time, and civil considerations

(3) By using a risk assessment matrix to assign a standardized risk level based on probability and severity

(4) By surveying the leadership and Soldiers that will execute the mission

(2) By applying the METT-TC framework to examine risks posed by the mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and equipment, time, and civil considerations

8. What is the intersection of the assessed probability and severity of a hazard called in the RM process?

(1) Assessment

(2) Risk level

(3) Control

(4) Accident

(2) Risk level

9. What do the terms "catastrophic, critical, moderate, and negligible" describe in the risk assessment matrix?

(1) Initial risk ratings

(2) Residual risk ratings

(3) Probability of an event occurring

(4) Level of severity of an adverse event’s effect

(4) Level of severity of an adverse event’s effect ( 이 문제 좀 헤깔림. 틀릴 수도 있고 맞을 수도 있음.)

10. What do of the terms "frequent, likely, occasional, seldom, and unlikely" describe in the risk assessment matrix?

(1) Critical events

(2) Catastrophic events

(3) Level of probability of an adverse event occurring

(4) Severity of an adverse event’s effect

(4) Severity of an adverse event’s effect ( 이 문제 좀 헤깔림. 틀릴 수도 있고 맞을 수도 있음.)

11. What is the purpose of the RM step, Develop Controls and Make Risk Decisions?

(1) To determine whether the risk of an adverse event occurring is reduced enough that the benefits of completing the mission outweigh the risks

(2) o determine whether the initial risk is acceptable

(3) To effect changes so that situations or events with adverse impacts do not move forward with the mission

(4) To effect changes so that risk can be completely eliminated before moving forward with the mission

(1) To determine whether the risk of an adverse event occurring is reduced enough that the benefits of completing the mission outweigh the risks

12. What does "residual risk" mean in the RM process?

(1) Risk that the mission presents before any actions or controls are put in place

(2) Acknowledgment that every task in a mission has some level of risk

(3) Risk that remains after all controls have been selected

(4) Acknowledgement that the mission will always carry some unnecessary risk

…

13. What RM process step requires a cycle of continuous reassessment until the benefits of completing the mission outweigh the risks of not completing it?

(1) Identify hazards

(2) Assess hazards

(3) Implement controls

(4) Develop controls and make risk decisions

(4) Develop controls and make risk decisions

14. What method is used to implement controls in the RM process?

(1) Define who will do what, and by when and then seek authorization to execute from superiors

(2) Define the who, what, when, where, and how of the control

(3) Communicate, coordinate, implement, and integrate the control’s who, what, when, where, and how into SOPs, written and verbal orders, mission briefings, and staff estimates with clear and simple execution
Orders

(4) Determine through survey, training logs, and briefings that the control is actually being executed

(3) Communicate, coordinate, implement, and integrate the control’s who, what, when, where, and how into SOPs, written and verbal orders, mission briefings, and staff estimates with clear and simple execution Orders

15. What is the fifth step in the risk management (RM) process?

(1) Assess hazards

(2) Supervise and evaluate

(3) Develop controls and make risk decisions

(4) Implement controls

(2) Supervise and evaluate

16. What are controls designed to do?

(1) Reduce or eliminate risk

(2) Limit commanders’ authority

(3) Prevent Soldiers from having fun

(4) Increase Soldiers’ workloads

(1) Reduce or eliminate risk

17. Off-duty risk decisions are:

(1) Made by leaders and commanders

(2) The responsibility of individual Soldiers

(3) Dictated by the Department of the Army

(4) Not a consideration

(2) The responsibility of individual Soldiers

18. What factors can cause controls that are established and implemented
for a prolonged period to lose their effectiveness?

(1) Lack of resources and monitoring

(2) Overconfidence or complacency

(3) Equipment serviceability and availability

(4) Unrelenting hostile encounters

(2) Overconfidence or complacency

19. All of the following are questions asked as part of step 5 of the RM process to ensure compliance with the guiding principles, except:

(1) Was the RM process competed before the operation’s onset?

(2) Was the process integrated throughout all phases of the operations?

(3) Where risk decisions accurate and made at the appropriate level?

(4) Where there any unnecessary risks, and did the benefit outweigh the cost in terms of dollares, training benefit and time?

(3) Where risk decisions accurate and made at the appropriate level?

20. How do on-duty leaders supervise compliance with hazard controls during an operation?

(1) By ensuring subordinates understand how, when, and where controls are implemented, monitoring the employment of controls, and adjusting as situational awareness demands

(2) By isolating what went right during the mission or activity and
evaluating individuals’ implementation of the risk controls

(3) By using after-action reports to determine if controls were implemented

(4) y analyzing the mission after-action reports to determine whether all hazards were actually identified

(1) By ensuring subordinates understand how, when, and where controls are implemented, monitoring the employment of controls, and adjusting as situational awareness demands
