What does residual risk mean in the RM process army?

Residual risk in the Army's risk management (RM) process refers to the level of risk that remains after all identified risks have been assessed and mitigated through control measures. It acknowledges that, despite efforts to reduce risk, some level of uncertainty or potential for loss may still exist. This remaining risk must be accepted or further managed by leaders based on the mission's objectives and available resources. Understanding residual risk is crucial for informed decision-making and ensuring mission success while maintaining safety.
