1. Mission/Task Description: Briefly describe the overall
Mission or Task for which the deliberate risk assessment
is being conducted.
9. Residual Risk Level: After controls are implemented,
determine resulting probability, severity, and residual risk
level.
2. Date ''00<<<<: Self Explanatory.
10. Overall Risk After Controls are Implemented: Assign
an overall residual risk level. This is the highest residual
risk level (from block 9).
3.
Prepared By: Information provided by the individual
conducting the deliberate risk assessment for the operation
or training .

13
. Risk Assessment Review: Should be conducted on a
regular basis. Reviewers should have sufficient oversight of
the mission or activity and controls to provide valid input on
changes or adjustments needed. If the residual risk rises
above the level already approved, operations should cease
until the appropriate approval authority is contacted and
approves continued operations.
6.
Initial Risk Level: Determine probability and severity.
Using the risk assessment matrix (page 3), determine level
of risk for each hazard specified. probability, severity and
associated Risk Level; enter level into column.
14
. Feedback and Le
ssons Learned: Provide specific input
on the effectiveness of risk controls and their contribution to
mission success or failure. Include recommendations for
new or revised controls, practicable solutions, or alternate
actions. Submit and brief valid lessons learned as necessary
to persons affected.
7. Co
ntrol: Enter risk mitigation resources/controls identified
to abate or reduce risk relevant to the hazard identified in
block 5.
15. Additional Comments or Remarks: Preparer provides
additional comments, remarks, or information to support
the risk assessment. If block 15 is used as a continuation
of block 14, strike through the block number and title.
8.
How to Implement / Who Will Implement: Briefly
describe the means of employment for each control
(i.e., OPORD, briefing, rehearsal) and the name of the
individual unit or office that has primary responsibility for
control implementation.
Additional Guidance: Block 4-9 continuance page may be
