Abstract: This paper provides a methodology to filter and prioritize critical assets of a large and complex organization: the United States Army (the Army). The Army provides an excellent test bed in which to develop such a risk strategy because it relies heavily on both public and private assets to meet a wide variety of missions throughout the world. The Army has developed its own regulation for asset risk management, Army Regulation (AR) 525-26 [Department of the Army (DoA) 2004], in response to Department of Defense directives. Combining the high-level guidance of AR 525-26 with both qualitative and quantitative tools, the modified Risk Filtering, Ranking, and Management (RFRM) methodology provides prioritized assets to decisionmakers for risk management.
