In the MDMP, when does the team conduct risk management?

In the Military Decision-Making Process (MDMP), risk management is conducted during Mission Analysis and throughout the planning process because this approach allows for thorough identification, assessment, and mitigation of risks associated with the mission.

During the Mission Analysis phase, the team assesses the operational environment, identifies potential risks, and develops courses of action while considering those risks. This proactive integration ensures that risk management is an ongoing process rather than a one-time event. Incorporating risk management throughout the planning stages enables leaders and their teams to make informed decisions that enhance mission success and safety.

This continuous process highlights the importance of remaining vigilant about risks as the mission evolves and details are refined, ultimately leading to a more comprehensive and adaptable planning effort.
