ORM does not aim to eliminate risk but to manage risk so that the mission can be accomplished with the minimum amount of loss.

The five-step ORM process is a standardized tool that will help you operate successfully in high-risk environments. As military personnel, we have a responsibility at every level to identify hazards, take measures to reduce the associated risk, and accept risk only when the benefits of the operation exceed the accepted risk.

The goal is to make ORM part of our daily operations. This simple, logical process will help save lives, protect people and preserve assets, while we accomplish our missions efficiently and effectively.
