ATP 5-19 — RISK MANAGEMENT

What this publication covers

ATP 5-19 is the Army risk management techniques reference. It connects identification and assessment of hazards with controls, implementation, and continued supervision. Leaders preparing an event commonly need it to understand the process behind a deliberate risk assessment rather than treating a completed form as the end of the work.

The verified contents organize foundations, responsibilities, application to troop leading procedures, and application to the military decision-making process. Appendix A provides a sample DD Form 2977 and instructions. That organization helps a planner connect the worksheet to a broader decision process. GreenBook's DRAW workspace can assist with drafting and tracking controls, but the actual approval and risk acceptance remain with the responsible authority. Use the official publication for the method, the safety regulation for the broader program, and activity-specific guidance for hazards that require specialized controls or procedures.
