Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com a. Before a Soldier leaves the theater, leaders should adopt a program that includes training sessions, redeployment surveys, and medical screening. b. Upon return, the process continues during a set number of days—offering classes, additional medical screening, and information to Soldiers and their Families prior to the Soldier taking leave. This helps smooth the reunion process for Soldiers and their Families, to help participants recognize and establish realistic expectations about the reunion. They will learn to spot symptoms of stress, learn about sources of assistance, and the importance of communication. c.
Privately owned vehicle safety will be included and highly emphasized in reintegration training before and after deployment. 12–8. Risk refamiliarization in postdeployment and reconstitution Leaders are responsible to reduce the likelihood of at-risk behavior during postdeployment and reconstitution. A primary consideration should be to reset each individual’s risk acceptance threshold. The following will be developed and used to expedite the process: a. Schedule briefings. Returning personnel may not have driven on congested U.S. highways or been involved in social drinking situations for several weeks or months.
Therefore, briefings will include seatbelt safety; safe driving factors such as speed limits, rest stops, and focus of attention; alcohol consumption and driving, swimming, boating, and operating other recreational vehicles; alcohol use and domestic violence; Army substance abuse policy (zero tolerance for illicit use); and motorcycle safety. b. Review the last risk reduction quarterly statistics received prior to deployment for indications of at-risk behaviors and the interventions needed to reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence. Plan to incorporate those interventions during reconstitution. c.
Develop and use an individual risk assessment, which should begin during redeployment and continue through reconstitution. d. Schedule a unit risk inventory within 90 days of arriving at home station. Chapter 13 Tactical Safety 13–1. General a. This chapter establishes the requirements for safety support during training, contingency, and tactical operations. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this regulation apply to both peacetime training operations and operations in a combat theater. The tactical safety element is intended to reduce losses of manpower and equipment thus conserving combat power. b.
Composite risk management will be integrated into all tactical and contingency operations in accordance with FM 5–19. Analyze all expected tactical threat-based and accidental hazard-based vulnerabilities to determine associated risk. Implement, enforce, and review appropriate control measures. Eliminate all hazards on a greatest risk first basis. 13–2. Preparation for tactical operations Preparation for tactical operations must be completed as far ahead of time as possible before deployment to ensure complete, accurate, efficient, and safe procedures and policies are in place. 13–3.
Tactical order All plans and orders will address CRM and safety management specific issues in accordance with FM 5–0, and applicable operational specific field manuals. The results of the composite risk assessment and countermeasures will be integrated throughout the order as applicable. 13–4. Army civilian safety personnel deployment Deployment of Army civilian safety personnel will be accomplished in accordance with AR 690–11 and DA Pam 690–47. 13–5. Safety personnel planning Prior to contingency and tactical operations, all unit safety personnel and collateral duty safety personnel should— a. Meet to review the operations order, its safety implications, and coordinate responsibilities. b.
Ensure that means have been established to meet periodically during the training and contingency and tactical operations to meet and share experiences and lessons learned. c. Ensure that means of contacting each safety individual is in place. 63 AR 385–10 • 23 August 2007
