  Table B-1. Aviation risk considerations, continued
  Troops and Support Available
  Is sufficient combat power available to achieve the commander’s intent? (Prolonged operations will
  require additional aircraft maintenance and reconstitution; commanders must balance tempo with mass.)
  How does the unit balance continued operations in demanding environments with increasing fatigue of
  aircrew members and aircraft maintainers? (Increased fatigue from extended operations without effective
  recovery operations increases the risk of an aviation accident or improper maintenance.)
  What protection is available for aviation units conducting extended maintenance operations? (Aircraft may
  be unable to relocate quickly if they are being maintained in a forward location. Protection should be a
  consideration for any static location.)
  How does the unit incorporate replacement personnel into units during reconstitution? (Untrained
  replacements may not have the same knowledge of specific procedures in places such as forward arming
  and refueling points or aircraft maintenance areas.)
  Time Available
  How much preparation time is available for this mission? How much preparation time do subordinate units
  have to plan and prepare? (This will help identify risks from tempo.)
  What maintenance inspections are being waived due to operational tempo or sustainment challenges?
  (Waived inspections may increase risk of an accident or sub-standard system performance.)
  Civil Considerations
  What civilian population is near the area of operations? (This may help identify risks due to observation or
  collateral damage.)
