CRMCRMPurpose, Premise, & ScopePurpose, Premise, & Scope

• Purpose

– Sound individual and leader risk decisions

– Prevent unnecessary loss

• The premise of CRM is that it does not matter where or how a loss occurs, the result is the same:

– decreased combat power

– degraded mission effectiveness

• The scope of CRM encompasses the full spectrum of Army missions, functions, operations, and activities. CRM broadens the scope of Safety to prevent loss from combat, accident, and other causes

CRM Guiding PrinciplesCRM Guiding Principles

• Integrate CRM into all phases of missions and operations

• Make risk decisions at the appropriate level

• Accept no unnecessary risk

• Apply the process cyclically and continuously

• Do not be risk averse

SuperviseSupervise

The purpose of supervision in CRM is to ensure that:– Subordinates understand how, when, and where controls

are implemented.– Controls are implemented, monitored, and remaining in

place.– Complacency, deviation from standards, and violation of

controls, are not allowed to threaten success.– Hazards produced by fatigue, equipment condition, and

the environment, are detected and controlled.

EvaluateEvaluate

• Identify any hazards that were not identified during the initial assessment, or new hazards that evolved during the operation or activity.

• Assess the effectiveness of CRM in supporting the mission.• Ensure compliance with the guiding principles of CRM:

– Was CRM integrated throughout all phases of the operation or activity?

– Were risk decisions made at the appropriate level?– Did risk decisions balance potential loss and expected gains?– Was CRM applied cyclically and continuously?– Were decision-makers willing to accept appropriate risk (not risk

averse)?

Supervise & EvaluateSupervise & Evaluate(Tools & Techniques)(Tools & Techniques)

• Tools– Spot-checks– Inspections– SITREP– Back briefs– Buddy checks– Close oversight (Leaders at key nodes of operation)– After Action Reviews (AAR)

• Techniques– Capture and disseminate Lessons Learned– Build a library of CRM worksheets

Personal Leader EngagementPersonal Leader Engagement(Oak Tree Counseling)(Oak Tree Counseling)

“With all the techniques available, preventing loss always boils down to personal leader engagement.”

General B. B. Bell

• Personal Leader Engagement (Oak Tree Counseling)

– Leader to Soldier

– Supervisor to Employee

• Directly address high-risk individual behavior traits on and off duty

• Special focus areas

– Alcohol or substance abuse

– Suicide potential

– Recently redeployed from combat

• Overconfidence

• New freedom

• Feelings of invincibility

• Leaders assist Soldiers and employees in Owning the Edge

• Question: True or False? Knowing and enforcing the commander's safety philosophy, training risk guidance, and performance standards are consistent with leadership and CRM.

• Question: True or False? Oak Tree Counseling has its limits. Leaders have no business asking subordinates about their personal, off duty plans and whether they will apply CRM off duty.

• Question: True or False? To determine where the Edge lies, leaders must know their troops and take the initiative to draw the line. The fist line leader determines where the Edge lies.
