CRM

Accident fatalities within the Army have
increased since 1994. Because of this fact, the
Secretary of Defense in 2002 issued a challenge
to reduce the number of mishaps and accident
rates by 50 during the following two
years. We didnt come close.
3
Small unit leaders and first-line leaders simply
lack the experience necessary to match the
mission risk with the identification and
implementation of the right control measures.
4
Accident Fatalities are not normally the result
of an inability to identify hazards.
5
There is an inherent risk in combat and realistic
training and our leaders generally identified the
appropriate hazards.
6
However, our leaders often do not do well
identifying and implementing the right control
measures to mitigate the risk of those hazards.

Three Deep
For Every mission, on or off duty, there needs
to be three levels of leader involvement.
9
Three Deep
Using their knowledge of the individual Soldier
and guidance from higher levels, the first-line
leader interacts face-to-face with each
subordinate.
10
Three Deep
The second-line leader supervises and spot
checks, providing an independent set of eyes and
the higher level of experience.
11
Three Deep
The top-line leader uses their wealth of
experience to provide guidance and supervises
the risk-mitigation process to ensure the right
control measures have been highlighted and
implemented.
12
Three Deep
The process of Dialogue between leader levels
gives less-experienced leaders knowledge in place
of experience to protect soldiers and move
towards a Composite Risk Management Band of
Excellence.
