Which of the following is listed as an ORM process?

• A. Define Mission
• B. Assess Resources
• C. Implement Solutions
• D. Debrief Team

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is knowing the sequence of the ORM (Operational Risk Management) steps and which item starts the process. In ORM, you begin by defining the mission—stating clearly the purpose, objectives, and constraints of the operation. This sets the frame for identifying hazards and assessing risk within the mission’s scope. Without a clear mission definition, you wouldn’t have the proper context to recognize risks or decide on appropriate controls.

The option about defining the mission is the best fit because it explicitly starts the ORM process. The other ideas aren’t formal ORM steps: assessing resources is more about planning logistics, implementing solutions corresponds to applying controls but uses a different wording and isn’t the initial step, and debriefing the team belongs to after-action review and evaluation rather than the ORM sequence.
