Risk assessment is a means to characterize and reduce uncertainty to support our ability to deal with catastrophe . Risk management is a systems based concept. It is the application of systemic thinking to the problems associated with making military operations safer and more effective. The concept was originally developed to improve safety in the development of weapons, aircraft, space vehicles, and nuclear power. Risk management concepts were found to be especially effective in dealing with high-risk complex activities. This has led to the application of safety risk management concepts in tactical training scenarios.
