This publication, "Risk Management - Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures," describes risk management functions and responsibilities applicable to the joint task force (JTF) and service staffs. It applies risk management planning procedures to the military decision making process and employs the Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) for the operation planning team. This publication provides a consolidated multiservice reference addressing risk management background, principles, and application procedures. To facilitate multiservice interoperability, this publication identifies and explains the risk management process and its differences and similarities as it is applied by each service. Risk management is a process that assists decision makers in reducing or offsetting risk (by systematically identifying, assessing, and controlling risk arising from operational factors) and making decisions that weigh risks against mission benefits. Risk is an expression of a possible loss or negative mission impact stated in terms of probability and severity. The risk management process provides leaders and individuals a method to assist in identifying the optimum course of action (COA). Risk management must be fully integrated into planning, preparation, and execution. Commanders are responsible for the application of risk management in all military operations. Risk management facilitates the mitigation of the risks of threats to the force. For the purposes of this document, threat is defined as a source of danger-any opposing force, condition, source, or circumstance with the potential to negatively impact mission accomplishment and/or degrade mission capability. Each of the services uses similar but slightly different processes. This publication provides a single process to enable warfighters from different services to manage risk from a common perspective. Risk management is useful in developing, deploying, and employing the joint force. Development concerns force design, manpower allocation, training development, and combat material developments. Deploying and employing the joint force generates concerns in force protection and balancing risk against resource constraints. Military operations are inherently complex, dynamic, dangerous and, by nature, involve the acceptance of risk. Because risk is often related to gain, leaders weigh risk against the benefits to be gained from an operation. The commander's judgment balances the requirement for mission success with the inherent risks of military operations. Leaders have always practiced risk management in military decision making; however, the approach to risk management and degree of success vary widely depending on the leader's level of training and experience. Since the Korean conflict, United States forces have suffered more losses from noncombat causes than from enemy action. Key factors contributing to those losses include-Rapidly changing operational environment; Fast-paced, high operations tempo and high personnel tempo; Equipment failure, support failure, and effects of the physical environment; Human factors. The fundamental goal of risk management is to enhance operational capabilities and mission accomplishment, with minimal acceptable loss.

The intent of this publication, "UHF TACSAT/DAMA: Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Ultra High Frequency Tactical Satellite and Demand Assigned Multiple Access Operations (FM 6-02.90)," is to assist planners and users at the joint task force, Service component, and other functional components by providing an improved and unified process for planning, managing, and using ultra high frequency (UHF) tactical satellite (TACSAT) frequencies with special emphasis on maximizing the use of this limited resource. Lessons learned and collected by Joint Staff J-6 from numerous joint operations identified significant problems with planning and utilizing the limited number of UHF TACSAT frequencies. Current methods and procedures based on use, geography, channel size, demand access, and time have proved difficult to integrate and require extensive manual tracking and manipulation. These inefficiencies contribute to the shortage of this critical command and control resource. This multi-Service tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTP) publication consolidates and standardizes Service tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for planning and executing UHF TACSAT frequency management operations. It serves as a planning and execution guide and a framework for coordination and synchronization consistent with current Joint doctrine. Chapter I identifies key players in the management of tactical satellite (TACSAT) resources and offers critical guidance for the user to optimize this scarce resource. The usage guidance centers on the need to consider other communications capabilities before requesting access to TACSAT resources. The chapter concludes with sections on TACSAT capabilities, military standards, waveforms, and slave channels. These sections include discussions of narrowband and wideband channels, the utilization of dedicated and demand assigned multiple access (DAMA) services, and descriptions of 5-kHz and 25-kHz waveforms. Chapter II provides a detailed look at the communications planning cycle of assessing force structure, acquiring resources, managing resources, and issuing resources to users. It discusses DAMA emission control, terminal base address (TBA) management and precedence, common, and private networks, and disadvantaged users. Chapter III provides techniques and procedures for UHF TACSAT equipment and operations, TBA management, orderwire (OW) key management, and communications security equipment. It also provides samples of 5- and 25-kHz DAMA checklists, accessing dedicated and DAMA channels. The equipment list provides the planner with the capability to assess communications interoperability of various elements in a Joint Task Force (JTF). The point of contact list provides TACSAT users a means of troubleshooting a variety of common problems with UHF TACSAT operations. The appendices provide samples of checklists, troubleshooting guides, and other planning resources.

This publication, "Multiservice Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Health Service Support in a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Environment (FM 4-02.7)," establishes doctrinal multiservice tactics, techniques, and procedures (MTTPs) for health service support (HSS) units operating in a chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) and toxic industrial material (TIM) environment. It is the intent of this document to inform the combatant commanders (CCDRs), joint force commanders (JFCs), joint force medical commanders and medical planners, and component commanders and their staffs on the tools available to provide the best quality of force health protection (FHP) and HSS in a CBRN environment to enhance mission success. This publication bridges the gaps between Service and joint HSS publications. This publication provides information for use by the component commanders and their staffs, command surgeons, medical planners, and individuals responsible for FHP and HSS in a CBRN environment. Commanders have the direct responsibility for protecting their forces within a CBRN environment. On future battlefields, failure to properly plan and execute CBRN defensive operations may result in significant casualties, disruption of operations, and even mission degradation. Further, the commander's mission and execution plans must address the implications of HSS in a CBRN environment. This publication contains MTTPs relative to HSS in the following specific areas: Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear aspect of HSS, Casualty prevention, Casualty care and management, Patient movement, Patient decontamination, Veterinary service support and food and water safety, Medical laboratory support, Combat and operational stress control (COSC), Health service logistic (HSL) support (HSLS), Homeland defense, Individual and collective protection systems.
