During Step 2 Mission Analysis, what is the role of risk management?

• A. It is not addressed in Step 2.
• B. It is initiated as part of Step 2 Mission Analysis.
• C. It is completed before the mission analysis begins.
• D. It is only considered after COA selection.

Answer: (B)

Risk management is integrated into Step 2 Mission Analysis. As you analyze the mission, environment, and constraints, you identify hazards and assess their risk, developing initial mitigations that shape the plan from the start. This early, proactive approach ensures risk considerations influence how you understand the mission and how you evaluate potential courses of action. While risk management is an ongoing thread throughout planning, its initiation during Mission Analysis makes it a foundational part of shaping the overall plan, not something done only after COA selection or before analysis.
