Which of the following is NOT a level of ORM?

• A. In Depth
• B. Deliberate
• C. Time Critical
• D. Strategic

Answer: (D)

ORM levels describe how much time you have to assess risk and plan your response. In-Depth is used when there’s ample time to thoroughly examine hazards and develop mitigations. Deliberate applies when you have a reasonable amount of time to think through the mission, identify hazards, assess risk, and implement controls. Time Critical covers situations where time is extremely limited and you must make quick, focused risk decisions with immediate controls. Strategic, on the other hand, operates at a higher, organizational level, shaping policy and long-term risk posture rather than guiding on-scene risk judgments for a specific mission. Because of that, Strategic is not a level used in ORM at the operational level.
