Book excerpt: It is imperative that safety be a strong combat power multiplier for America's Army in the Caribbean. The current challenge of reduced force structure and funding further amplifies the need for leaders to focus on safety to protect their limited human and material resources. History has taught us that, over the long haul, accidents cause more casualties and damage more equipment than hostile action. Army leaders have learned this lesson well and have integrated force protection into their decision making process. The importance of the accident prevention component of force protection is clear. The sustained tempo of Army operations, the lethality of modern equipment, and the logistical demands of power projection all require increased risk management. Leaders and individual soldiers must make solid risk management decisions every day, in everything they do, whatever and wherever their mission may be. The diverse environments and mission objectives that our forces face have become extremely complex. The risk management process has become the commander's key to protecting the force. This quick reference guide is a tool intended to assist commanders, planners, and leaders at all levels in accident prevention and force protection.
