Assessment should include

• identifying risk types (e.g., operational, environmental, communication, personnel, logistical)
• analyzing likelihood and impact, using a structured method that prioritizes high‑consequence threats
• recommending mitigation steps to reduce, transfer, avoid, or accept risks based on mission objectives
• completing a written risk matrix or similar tool to visually demonstrate analysis and decision‑making rationale.

Process/Skill Questions:

• Who is impacted if the identified risks occur?
• When is the likelihood of each risk highest?
• Why must mission leaders evaluate both likelihood and impact?
• How can mitigation strategies reduce or prevent negative outcomes?
