This book was released on 2012-11-16 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's Army is challenged by a wide range of threats and operating environments. These challenges, plus new technologies, require our leaders to use creative measures to provide positive protection to our Soldiers and equipment. In April 1998, Field Manual (FM) 100-14 (FM 5-19) introduced to the Army the first doctrinal publication on risk management. It detailed the application of a step-by-step process to conserve combat power and resources. This milestone manual outlined a framework that leaders could use to make force protection a routine part of planning, preparing, and executing operational, training, and garrison missions. Before the outset of the global war on terrorism it became apparent that FM 100-14 would require updating to meet the needs of the future. Army assessments also indicated that the existing manual needed to be expanded to provide clear standards and guidance on how the risk management process was to be applied. This led to this current revision. During development of this revision the Army broadened its understanding of the risk management process to encompass all operations and activities, on and off duty. This holistic approach focuses on the composite risks from all sources rather than the traditional practice of separating accident from tactical hazards and associated risks. This revision has been refocused to clearly reflect the Army's new composite approach, and has been retitled Composite Risk Management (CRM). CRM represents a culture change for the Army. It departs from the past cookie cutter safety and risk management mentality through teaching Soldiers “how to think” rather than telling them “what to think.” This manual expands the context of the original FM by focusing on the application of composite risk management to the military decisionmaking process (MDMP) and the Army training management system. It further assigns the responsibilities for conducting risk management training during initial entry training and professional military education. It is a tool that works in conjunction with the Army's on-going initiative to firmly attach CRM to all Army processes. It is a milestone document for the standardization and institutionalization of the techniques, tools, and procedures that lead to sound decisionmaking and valid risk acceptance by leaders at all levels. This revision is a full rewrite of FM 100-14. It marks a break with the past by integrating the CRM process into Army operations. CRM is not a stand-alone process, a “paper work” drill, or an add-on feature. Rather, it is used as a fully-integrated element of detailed planning. It must be so integrated as to allow it to be executed intuitively in situations that require immediate action. CRM should be viewed as part of the military art interwoven throughout the Army's military decisionmaking and training management cycles.

Book excerpt: ADP 6-22 describes enduring concepts of leadership through the core competencies and attributes required of leaders of all cohorts and all organizations, regardless of mission or setting. These principles reflect decades of experience and validated scientific knowledge.An ideal Army leader serves as a role model through strong intellect, physical presence, professional competence, and moral character. An Army leader is able and willing to act decisively, within superior leaders' intent and purpose, and in the organization's best interests. Army leaders recognize that organizations, built on mutual trust and confidence, accomplish missions. Every member of the Army, military or civilian, is part of a team and functions in the role of leader and subordinate. Being a good subordinate is part of being an effective leader. Leaders do not just lead subordinates-they also lead other leaders. Leaders are not limited to just those designated by position, rank, or authority.

This book was released on 2013-06-22 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reflects a year's worth of work at the direction of the Army's Senior Leadership to provide a "directed telescope" on the alarming rate of suicides in the Army. It represents both initial findings of the Army Suicide Prevention Task Force and informs the future of Suicide Prevention within the Army. Suicide is a devastating event. What was once considered a private affair or family matter now threatens our Army's readiness. Equally alarming to the rising rate of suicide in the Army is an increasing number of Soldiers who engage in high risk behavior. Equivocal deaths,1 deaths by drug toxicity, accidental deaths, attempted suicides, and drug overdoses are reducing the ranks and negatively effecting the Army's ability to engage in contingency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. These deaths further strain efforts to sustain institutional operations. No one could have foreseen the impact of nine years of war on our leaders and Soldiers. As a result of the protracted and intense operational tempo, the Army has lost its former situational awareness and understanding of good order and discipline within its ranks. This report's comprehensive review exposes gaps in how we see, identify, engage and mitigate high risk Soldiers. These gaps exist in our systems and processes due in part to Army Transformation and nearly a decade of war. Policy, process, structure and programs have not kept pace with the expanding needs of our strained Army. While leadership schools emphasize battlefield skills, leaders are not as adept at negotiating the art of leadership in a garrison environment as they were prior to OEF and OIF. Failure to execute policies designed to ensure good order and discipline in garrison sends a message of permissive complacency. Failure to refer a Soldier with a drug positive urinalysis to the Army Substance Abuse Program (ASAP); initiate administrative separation for positive urinalysis; administratively separate Soldiers committing multiple instances of misconduct; and report unlawful activity all contribute to a breakdown in good order and discipline. This, in turn, has led to an increasing population of high risk Soldiers whose transmittable behavior can erode Army values and unit readiness. Additionally, our units, Soldiers and Families are feeling the strain and stress of nine years of conflict. The cumulative effect of transitions borne of institutional requirements (professional military education, PCS moves, promotions) coupled with family expectations/obligations (marriage, child birth, aging parents) and compounded by deployments is, on one hand, building a resilient force while on the other, pushing some units, Soldiers and Families to the brink.

Book excerpt: Conquering fear by summoning courage is a neglected human dimension that is an important combat and performance multiplier for professions that go in harms way. Why a person risks their life in the face of danger is explained. The factors that lead to a person's courage and heroism and how it can be developed through training are described. A set of principles with illustrative techniques and representative applications are presented to provide an insight into ways of developing fortitude or "battlemind". The rationale for these considerations is also given, so that they can be acted upon with confidence. Through training, high risk professions can reduce the fear of their personnel by increasing their fortitude or inner strength. While the soldier is the key focus of this effort, the term "warrior" is used to represent all members of the military and other professions who go in harm's way.

Book excerpt: This is a dark, raw and uncompromising tale of the human condition in extremis, drawing on the many lives of Ben Timberlake: as an archaeologist, Special Forces soldier, combat medic and drug addict. Starting with Ben's first near-death experience--in a Nazi-themed bar in wartime Yugoslavia--High Risk is a whirlwind tour of everything from service in the SAS, combat in Iraq, and encounters with a gambling-obsessed 9/11 hijacker, to veterans blissed out on MDMA, hook-ups in the world of extreme sex, and battling a heroin habit on a remote Scottish island.Ben pursued the rush, and the chase often took him over the edge. Instead of asking why, he asked, why not? Blending confessional narrative, classic reportage and acerbic humour, this memoir takes a gonzo look at terrorists, junkies, soldiers and strippers, through the tale of one extraordinary life.
