Which assignment areas develop MARs locally?

• A. LOGISTICS
• B. HARM/SARM
• C. HARM
• D. SARM

Answer: (B)

The assignment areas that develop MARs locally are those responsible for handling hazards and managing risk. When hazards are identified or risk controls are needed, the local teams focused on hazard analysis and risk management—HARM and SARM—take ownership to document the necessary actions and track their completion. They’re closest to the safety issues and the corrective steps, so they’re best positioned to initiate and manage MARs at the unit level. Logistics deals with supply and support, not the safety actions captured by MARs. Relying on HARM alone covers hazards, and SARM adds the safety-risk perspective; together they provide the complete capability to develop MARs locally.
