ROPD Phase 4a Module 1 Safe Range Operations Pretest

What is the Army reg/Marine Corps Order that governs range safety? - ANS AR 385-63/MCO 3570.1D The minimum distance that targets are engaged firing a MK-19 grenade launcher with HE ammunition is __________ - ANS 310m or greater In the context of DRM and range safety, mitigation of risk is the ability to ______________ - ANS Minimize or eliminate hazards by implementing controls The five steps of the DRM process include identify hazards, ___________, implement controls, and supervise and evaluate. - ANS Develop controls and make risk decisions Who controls and coordinates all ranges and publishes safe range use requirements for ranges? - ANS RMA A misfire occurs with a MK-19 grenade machine gun. Who is the person that ensures proper supervision of misfire procedures? - ANS OIC You have been assigned a range for a MK-19 firing HEDP exercise. You have been directed to fire into the impact area, with strict orders from range control against maneuvering in that area. Judging by your orders from range control, what type of impact area is this? - ANS High hazard You are the OIC for a convoy operation and small arms exercise. You're commanding officer informs you that he would like to shoot mortars with HE in support of maneuvering troops. You tell him that you cannot allow that to happen for the following reason: - ANS Range control has not given clearance to shoot HE mortars What is the definition of an impact area? - ANS The ground and associated airspace within the training complex used to contain fired, or launched ammunition or explosives, and the resulting fragments, debris, and components from various weapons systems Which statement represents the importance of airspace as it related to training on ground ranges? - ANS Airspace must be accounted for in planning and conduct of exercises to ensure rounds are kept within allocated airspace from a three-dimensional perspective. Look at the SDZ for this 7.62mm M118 special ball exercise. Which of the following is distance W? - ANS D For an exercise where you will fire M2AP ammunition from a .50 caliber machine gun with concrete impact media, what will distance W be? - ANS 718m Which area of the batwing SDZ shown is represented by the color purple? - ANS Ricochet area Your unit will conduct a mortar firing exercise. You are conducting a hazard assessment (step 2 of the RM process) to identify and assess risks. One of the hazards you identify is: HE and Illum rounds could get mixed up. Your unit is experienced in handling ordnance/ammunition and has done similar live fire exercises in the past. The probability of your unit mixing the rounds is relatively low. Use the risk assessment matrix to determine the risk, then select the correct answer. - ANS Moderate Range safety responsibilities start with the installation commander and the range management authority. For specific exercises, responsibilities lie with the officer in charge and the range safety officer. Select the other individual that is directly responsible for range safety. - ANS Unit commander You have been tasked with selecting an RSO for a MK-19 exercise. While you have four trustworthy weapon systems qualified personnel to choose from, you must also choose the correct individual in accordance with DA PAM 385-63. Which of the following personnel should be assigned as RSO for this exercise? - ANS SSG Kemp E-6 Which position is responsible for safety during exercises involving lasers? - ANS LRSO Who is responsible for supervising the overall conduct of the exercise and makes sure that the unit is successfully trained while continuing to make safety a priority? - ANS OIC Which statement best represents the definition of surface danger zone (SDZ)? - ANS The ground and airspace designated within the training complex (to include associated safety areas) for vertical and lateral containment of projectiles, fragments, debris, and components resulting from the firing, launching, or detonation of weapon systems to include explosives and demolitions. What are the four basic types of SUAs? - ANS Restricted area, warning areas, MOA, and CFA
