Access Restricted fences, barricades, signs, guards or a combination
of these types of positive controls are used to
protect unauthorized personnel
After Use of temporary impact area After an exercise, the temporary impact area
should be capable of being cleared and returned
to the original state.
Airspace refers to any one of several types of controlled and
uncontrolled airspace required to support range
operations. Airspace over a range may include
restricted areas, warning areas, military operations,
and air traffic controlled assigned airspace.
Ammo not fired All ammo that is not fired during an exercise must
be returned to the ammunition supply point in
original packaging after the exercise
Ammunition not expended is turned over to the ammunition technician for
return to the Ammunition Supply Point (ASP).
Angle P defines the area beginning at the firing point,
located to the left and right of the dispersion area,
which contains projectiles after making initial
contact with the target medium.
Angle Q defines the area beginning at distance Y, located to
the left and right of the dispersion area, which
contains projectiles after making initial contact with
the target medium.

AR385-63/MCO 3570.1 establishes ranges safety policies and
responsibilities for firing ammunition, lasers,
guided, missiles, and rockets on Marine Corps and
Army ranges.
Area A is the secondary danger area, or buffer zone, that
laterally parallels the impact area or ricochet area
depending on the weapon system. Area A contains
fragments, debris, and components from frangible
or explosive projectiles and warheads functioning
on the right or left edge of the impact area or
ricochet area. For non-explosive projectiles Area A
is a standard 100m in width. For explosive
projectiles, the width varies by weapon and
munition.
Assess Hazards For each hazard identified, you must determine the
associated degree of risk in terms of severity and
probability. Once probability and severity are
established, hazards must also be categorized. The
risk assessment categories are described in in
MCO 3500.27.
Use the Risk Assessment Matrix to determine the
Risk Assessment Code (RAC). The RAC represents
the overall risk of a hazard. You will determine the
RAC for each hazard by using each hazard's
severity and probability category.
At turn-in you will provide Quantify expended

Quantify turned in (unserviceable)
batwing SDZ provides greater containment of ricochets
