Risk Assessment and Force Protection Task Analysis

Description: Armed with the results of the mission analysis and hazard and threat identification (criticality, threat, and vulnerability assessments), a FP task analysis and initial risk assessment will then be conducted. Specified FP tasks are those specifically identified as a result of the mission analysis. Other FP tasks will be derived from a detailed analysis of the hazards and threats from the previous step. The risk assessment will be completed to determine the potential adverse effects from those hazards and threats, the probability of occurrence, and the degree of exposure. Risks are then prioritized and FP measures, tasks, and activities identified. Pending the type of operation, any residual risk is accepted by the commander in close coordination with partner nations.
