Range Safety OIC/RSO
1. establishes ranges safety policies and responsibilities for firing ammuni-
tion, lasers, guided, missiles, and rockets on Marine Corps and Army ranges.-
: AR385-63/MCO 3570.1
2. provides implementation guidance for the Marine Corps Range Safety Pro-
gram.: DA Pam 385-63
3. each range or range complex will have its own standard operating proce-
dure (SOP). The SOP for an installation will have installation -specific instruc-
tions for range safety. You must read the most current Sop for the range that
you will be using.: SOP
4. The USMC Range Safety Pocket Guide summarizes the policies and proce-
dures needed to conduct a live-fire event. This document contains information
on surface danger zones (SDZ) setup for weapon systems. The Pocket Guide
also provides the OIC and RSO with a checklist that will assist them with their
most common tasks: USMC Range Safety Pocket Guide
5. Safety Of Use Memorandums (SOUM) are how the Range and Training Area
Management (RTAM) Branch provides range safety information and guidance
to the Marine Corps Total Force. This guidance is directive until the SOUM is
cancelled, changed or written into the Range Safety Order.: SOUM
6. Responsible for all range safety matters and provides coordination of
ranges in the installation complex: RCO
7. Responsible and accountable for conduct of the exercise and ensuring
participants follow safety regulations: OIC
8. Responsible for range safety for the exercise: RSO
9. Responsible for laser range safety for exercises involving lasers: LRSO
10. The land area of a range for live-fire and maneuver includes start and
cease-fire lines, target areas, and impact areas.: Land
11. 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.: Airspace
12. The range boundaries may include navigable inland waterways such as
rivers or lakes. Sea space is the operating area necessary to contain live-fire
and support ship to shore training.: Waterways
13. An impact area is a designated area within the limits of a range.: Dedicated
impact areas
14. non-sensitive ammunition and explosives.: Dedicated Impact Areas are as-
sociated with:
15. usually a large piece of land that several ranges fire into.: Size of dedicated
impact area
1/8
, Range Safety OIC/RSO
16. the impact and fragmentation of launched or fired ammunition and explo-
sives: What is a dedicated impact area reserved for
17. high-hazard: Dedicated Impact area can contain what other impact area
18. The purpose of an impact area is to contain all hazards associated with the
ordnance being fired: Impact Area
19. areas that are permanently designed to contain sensitive ammunition and
explosives: High-hazard impact
20. they contain high explosives and sensitive unexploded ordinance: Why are
high-hazard impact areas dangerous
21. True: True/False: Never enter a high-hazard impact area without permission
from range control
22. Cluster bombs, artillery rounds, mortar rounds, high-explosive grenades,
missiles: Ordnance fired into high-hazard impact areas
23. fences, barricades, signs, guards or a combination of these types of posi-
tive controls are used to protect unauthorized personnel: Access Restricted
24. normally for small arms or non-dud producing ammunition. This type of
impact exists only for the length of an exercise.: Temporary Impact Area
25. After an exercise, the temporary impact area should be capable of being
cleared and returned to the original state.: After Use of temporary impact area
26. Manages and deconflicts: Range Control and
airspace during live fire exercises
27. Immediate cease fire and control range control: What should you do if an
aircraft/boat/ship enters your airspace during a live fire exercise
28. -Captures vertical hazard limit for each weapon fired
-Coordinates w/ FAA to invoke airspace restrictions for all non-participating
aircraft
-Captures operating airspace both lateral and vertical for all exercise aircraft
operations: What does range control do for a range
29. may require the RSO to identify personnel as air sentinels: Local SOP's &
airspace requirements
30. -waterways involved
-operations to be conducted
-Sector of waterway that must be restricted: Installation Commander will co-
ordinate w US Army Corps of Engineers and US Coast Guard to ensure proper
notification of:
31. Issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), informs pilots and air
traffic controllers about range activities that require civilian aircraft to avoid
range and airspace.: Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)
