LEICHT/MAJ/SCHOOL OF AVIATION SAFETY, PENSACOLA/COMM: (850)452-5145/E-MAIL: [email protected]// GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. This message announces the curriculum and timelines for execution concerning the FY27 Risk Management Safety Officer (RMSO) pilot Course. This course professionalizes personnel assigned responsibility for risk management, safety, reporting, investigations, and standardization within Marine Corps operating forces and supporting organizations. 1.a. The FY27 RMSO pilot course dates are as follows: Date Location 01 – 11 DEC 26 School of Aviation Safety, Pensacola, FL 2. Background. Following the 2020 and 2022 ACV mishaps, the 45th Executive Safety Board directed the ACV community to implement a Department of Safety and Standardization (DOSS) model by FY28. Current courseware does not satisfy the requirement to develop personnel capable of operating/supporting a functional Ground DOSS. Expanded course content, akin to the Aviation Safety Officer course but tailored to the ground combat community, is needed to adequately prepare leaders to apply modern risk management standards to operations. 3. Course Overview. This course will focus on five core areas: 3.a. Crew Resource Management (CRM)/Team Resource Management (TRM): Discuss the seven Mission Critical Skills and apply threat and error management principles to improve crew and team performance, identify operational threats and errors, and mitigate associated risk. 3.b. Safety Management System (SMS): Develop a risk management z program in conjunction with SMS fostering a risk management culture from small unit leaders to the commander. 3.c. Investigations. Develop an understanding of mishap and incident investigation processes, including causal analysis, evidence collection, and available investigation resources and assistance. 3.d. Reporting. Conduct an in-depth analysis of reporting procedures and learn how to utilize reports for case studies to incorporate lessons learned for the unit. 3.e. Medical / Human Factors. Develop an understanding of human and medical factors and their effects on operational performance. 4. Target population. The target population for RMSO includes USMC/USN E6-E8, and O3-O4 appointed as Ground DOSS or those charged with their unit’s risk management/safety or standardization program. 4.a. For the FY27 pilot, ground commanders may also attend, regardless of the target population identified, pending implementation of the Ground Safety Commander’s course in FY-28. 4.b. The course has a quota of 50 personnel. 5. Administrative and Logistics Information. 5.a. Funding. Participants’ commands are responsible for funding. 5.b. Uniform. Woodland MARPAT. 5.c.
