D-11. When conducting an Airborne operation risk assessment, the commander should consider the following:Proximity of the wire obstacle to the DZ.Ability to de-energize the wire hazard or not.Height of the wire hazard.Number of wire hazards present.Recovery equipment available to retrieve the jumper.Jumper experience levels.Drop time (day or night and percent of illumination).Whether or not the selected DZ is critical to mission success.D-12. The following are the minimum initial risk categories that are assigned to DZs with wire obstacles: High risk: a high risk condition exists if a wire hazard is taller than 35 feet and within 1000 meters of any edge of the surveyed DZ. If a high risk condition exists, it may be necessary to have a recovery detail at the DZ. Regardless of height, any wire hazard remains high risk if it is still energized during the Airborne operation and is within 1000 meters of any edge of the surveyed drop zone.Medium risk: a medium risk condition exists if a wire hazard is taller than 35 feet and more than 1000 meters but less than 1500 meters from any edge of the surveyed DZ. Regardless of height, any wire hazard remains high risk if it is still energized during the Airborne operation and is within 1000 meters of any edge of the surveyed drop zone.Low risk: a low risk condition exists if a wire hazard is taller than 35 feet and more than 1500 meters from any edge of the surveyed DZ. Regardless of height, any wire hazard remains high risk if it is still energized during the Airborne operation and is within 1000 meters of any edge of the surveyed drop zone.
