FPE Basics

I stumbled across this at work today. It’s an article published in The Singapore Engineer in April 2018 and is written by engineers who work in one of SMEC’s sister companies.

The article covers Singaporean legislation requiring buildings to be protected to prevent terrorist attacks. From what I remember of the FPE Level 1 training on RETCC and subsequent insights at 170 Engr Gp it also covers the basic FPE assessment process and principles.

I thought I’d share for two reasons:

1. As basic revision prior to the Phase 4 FPE Level 2 training.

2. So we can compare UK military practice to the civilian consultant approach. At this stage, I suspect they are very similar.

    Thanks Mark, I have now regained my blog access after a somewhat traumatic change of access arrangements (sort of ICT FPE!) As you will now know the military is very similar but better defied in some areas and not so well in others. I think the big difference from my perspective is the military approach will seek to understand the operational imperative and so define the vulnerability (functional need to maintain effect rather than people at risk) and risk appetite of the commander charged with delivering effect a little more clearly at the front end.

  1. No trackbacks yet.
