Master Fitness Trainer. A Master Fitness Trainer (MFT)is a soldier who has completed either the four-week active-component, two week reserve-component, or U.S. Military Academy’s MFT course work.

5 Steps of Risk Management
Step 1. Identify hazards.
Step 2. Assess hazards to determine risks.
Step 3. Develop controls and make risk decisions.
Step 4. Implement controls.
Step 5. Supervise and evaluate.
types of risks:
There are 2 types of risks:
- Tactical risk
- Accident Risk
Tactical Risk
Tactical risk is risk concerned with hazards that exist because of the presence of either the enemy or an adversary. It applies to all levels of war and across the spectrum of operations.
Accident Risk
Accident risk includes all operational risk considerations other than tactical risk. It includes risks to the friendly force. It also includes risks posed to civilians by an operation, as well as an operations impact on the environment. It can include activities associated with hazards concerning friendly personnel, civilians, equipment readiness, and environmental conditions.
Step 1: Identifying Hazards
Conditions change quickly, consider all METT-TC involved in the operations.
Hazards
Any existing or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death; damage to, or loss of equipment and property; or degradation of the mission.
Risk
The chance of hazards or bad con-sequences; exposure to injury or loss. The risk level is expressed in terms of hazard probability and severity.
Probability
The likeliness that an event will occur.
Frequent-occurs often.
Likely - Occurs several times.
Occasional - occurs sporadically.
Seldom - Unlikely, but could occur.
Unlikely - Probably won’t occur.
Severity
Severity is the expected result of an event (degree of injury, property damage or other mission impairing factors.
Catastrophic
Critical
Marginal
Negligible
Risk Assessment
Risk Assessment is the identification and assessments of an individual hazard or all identified hazards combined to complete a task.
Residual Risk
Residual Risk is the level of risk remaining after controls have been implemented. Controls are altered until the residual risk is at an acceptable level or until it cannot practically be further reduced.
