According to the Army CRM (FM 5-19) there are three cause factors: -Human Error -Material Failure/Malfunction -Environmental conditions.
Accidents in the US Army can be attributed to various factors, including human error, equipment malfunction, and inadequate training. Environmental conditions, such as weather and terrain, also play a significant role, as do organizational issues like poor communication and lack of safety protocols. Additionally, high-stress environments and operational tempo can lead to lapses in judgment and oversight. Overall, a combination of these factors contributes to the risk of accidents in military operations.
Recordable army accidents are accidents that may happen within the army and are not being covered up by the government for a specific reason. The government will not record army accidents when they occur in a situation that was classified or should not be known by the people of the United States.
