WHAT
IS THE SAFETY COMPONENT OF PROTECTION?
"SAFETY IS PART OF ALL COMBAT OPERATIONS AND OPERATIONS OTHER THAN WAR. COMMANDERS AT ALL LEVELS SHOULD EMBRACE SAFETY AS A PRINCIPAL ELEMENT IN ALL THEY DO. SUSTAINED, HIGH-TEMPO OPERATIONS CAN PUT SOLDIERS AT RISK. STRONG COMMAND AND HIGH LEVELS OF DISCIPLINE AND TRAINING LESSEN THOSE RISKS. SAFE PROCEDURES REPRESENT A SKILL - A PRODUCT OF ENFORCED STANDARDS AND TRAINING. SAFETY IN TRAINING, PLANNING, AND OPERATIONS IS CRUCIAL TO SUCCESSFUL COMBAT OPERATIONS AND THE PRESERVATION OF COMBAT POWER." --FM 100-5, Operations
The fratricide avoidance component of protection is closely related to the safety component.
