The Composite Risk Management Worksheet provides Army units with a structured framework for assessing and controlling risks associated with missions, training events, and other operational activities. Unit leaders, safety officers, and operations personnel use this document to catalog hazards, assign risk levels, develop control measures, and record supervisory responsibilities before any activity begins.
The form is organized around five sequential steps. Section 1 records the mission or task details including date, location, unit designation, and task description. Section 2 is the hazard identification phase, covering risk sources such as terrain, weather conditions, equipment status, and human performance factors. Section 3 requires an initial risk level assignment for each hazard using the Army risk matrix, with categories from Low through Extremely High. Section 4 documents specific controls for each hazard and the name and rank of the supervisor responsible for enforcing them. Section 5 records the overall residual risk level after all controls are applied and collects the risk decision authority signature.
Originally published under procedures in FM 5-19 with the Training and Doctrine Command serving as the proponent agency, this worksheet is closely related to the DD Form 2977, which serves as the Army's current primary deliberate risk assessment tool for complex missions. Units may reference both documents depending on standard operating procedures. Additional risk management resources include the FORSCOM Soldier Risk Assessment and the general Army Risk Assessment Form.
