A2.B.4. THE MAPPING TOOL A2.B.4.1. FORMAL NAME. The mapping tool A2.B.4.2. ALTERNATIVE NAMES. Map analysis A2.B.4.3. PURPOSE. The map analysis is designed to use terrain maps and other system models and schematics to identify both things at risk and sources of hazards. It is a powerful and convenient tool because military operations rely so heavily on maps and the tool can be easily tied to these military uses. Properly applied the tool will reveal the following: Mission elements at risk The sources of risk The extent of the risk (proximity) Potential barriers between hazard sources and mission assets A2.B.4.4. APPLICATION. The mapping tool is an extremely versatile tool that can be used in a wide variety of situations. The explosive quantity-distance criteria is a classic example of map analysis. The location of the explosives is plotted and then the distance to various targets (inhabited buildings, highways, etc.) is determined. The same principles can be extended to almost any facility. We can use a diagram of a maintenance shop to note the location of hazards such as gases, pressure vessels, flammables, etc.. Key assets can also be plotted. Then potentially hazardous interactions are noted and the layout of the facility can be optimized in terms of risk reduction. Another obvious use is in the layout of billeting and bivouac areas from the point of view of both safety and force protection. A2.B.4.5. METHOD. The mapping tool requires some creativity to realize its full potential. The starting point is a map, facility layout, or equipment schematic. The locations of potential hazard sources are noted. The easiest way to detect these sources is to locate energy sources. All hazards involve the unwanted release of energy. Figure A2.22 lists the basic kinds of energy to look for. Mark the locations of these sources on the map or diagram. Then, keeping the mission in mind, locate the personnel, equipment, and facilities that the various potentially hazardous energy sources could impact. Note these potentially hazardous links and enter them in the hazard inventory for risk management. Figure A2.22. Major Types of Energy. Electrical Kinetic (moving mass e.g. a vehicle, a machine part, a bullet) Potential (not moving mass e.g. a heavy object suspended overhead) Chemical (e.g. explosives, corrosive materials) Noise and Vibration Thermal (heat) Radiation (Nonionizing e.g. microwave, and ionizing e.g. nuclear radiation, x-rays) Pressure (air, water) A2.B.4.6. RESOURCES. When working with terrain maps, someone who has actually seen the terrain in question is an invaluable asset. Maps can convey a great deal of information, but they can not replace the 61
