roles
broad and endurign purposes Congress has established by law for the services
functions
specific responsibilities assigned to the Services by teh President/SecDef to enabel the Services to fulfill their legally established roles
MAGTF
Marine Corp component CDRs normally task organize for operations by formign MAFTFs-balanced, air-groudn, combined arms formations udner a single CDR
MAGTFs are organized, trained, and equipped from teh operating forces
MAFTF ist he principle organization for all MC missions across the range of military operations
differences between MEU/MEB/MEF missions
MEF = win our nation’s battle in major theatres of war
MEB” respond to crises/small scale contigencies

4 elements of a MEU
GCE = Battalion Landing Team
ACE: composite squadron

MARCORSYSCOM

purpose of risk management
eliminate senseless and needless loss of life, injury, and material damage
minimize risk to an acceptable level commensurate with completing the task at hand or accomplishing the mission
how does risk management enhance readiness
- enhance mission accomplishment by increasing the probability of success,
minimize risk to acceptable levels
4 principles of risk management
- accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost
- accept no unnecessary risk
- anticipate and manage risk by planning
- make risk decisions at the right level
3 substeps of the “ID hazards” step of ORM
- conduct an operational analysis
- conduct a preliminary hazard analysis 9PHA)
- determine root causes of hazards
3 substeps of the “Assess hazards” step of ORM
- determine severity
- determien probability
- assign the Risk Assessemtn Code (RAC)
RAC
Risk Assessement Code
- expression of risk that commbines the elements of hazard severity and mishap probability
extinguish class B fires
securing the gas flow is the most important step
- never extinguish a flammable gas unless there is a chance the fire can be secured
