Range Safety OIC/RSO- 98Q/ Exam Questions
And answers/All Correct.
AR385-63/MCO 3570.1 Correct ans - establishes ranges safety policies and responsibilities for firing ammunition, lasers, guided, missiles, and rockets on Marine Corps and Army ranges.
DA Pam 385-63 Correct ans - provides implementation guidance for the Marine Corps Range Safety Program.
SOP Correct ans - each range or range complex will have its own standard operating procedure (SOP). The SOP for an installation will have installation -specific instructions for range safety. You must read the most current Sop for the range that you will be using.
USMC Range Safety Pocket Guide Correct ans - The USMC Range Safety Pocket Guide summarizes the policies and procedures 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
SOUM Correct ans - 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.
RCO Correct ans - Responsible for all range safety matters and provides coordination of ranges in the installation complex
OIC Correct ans - Responsible and accountable for conduct of the exercise and ensuring participants follow safety regulations
RSO Correct ans - Responsible for range safety for the exercise
LRSO Correct ans - Responsible for laser range safety for exercises involving lasers
Land Correct ans - The land area of a range for live-fire and maneuver includes start and cease-fire lines, target areas, and impact areas.
Airspace Correct ans - 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.
Waterways Correct ans - 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.
Dedicated impact areas Correct ans - An impact area is a designated area within the limits of a range.
Dedicated Impact Areas are associated with: Correct ans - non- sensitive ammunition and explosives.
Size of dedicated impact area Correct ans - usually a large piece of land that several ranges fire into.
What is a dedicated impact area reserved for Correct ans - the impact and fragmentation of launched or fired ammunition and explosives
Dedicated Impact area can contain what other impact area Correct ans
Impact Area Correct ans - The purpose of an impact area is to contain all hazards associated with the ordnance being fired
High-hazard impact Correct ans - areas that are permanently designed to contain sensitive ammunition and explosives
Why are high-hazard impact areas dangerous Correct ans - they contain high explosives and sensitive unexploded ordinance
True/False: Never enter a high-hazard impact area without permission from range control Correct ans - True
Ordnance fired into high-hazard impact areas Correct ans - Cluster bombs, artillery rounds, mortar rounds, high-explosive grenades, missiles
Access Restricted Correct ans - fences, barricades, signs, guards or a combination of these types of positive controls are used to protect unauthorized personnel
Temporary Impact Area Correct ans - normally for small arms or non- dud producing ammunition. This type of impact exists only for the length of an exercise.
weapon danger zone (WDZ) Correct ans - is the danger zone for air- delivered munitions
laser surface danger zone (LSDZ) Correct ans - is a specific type of danger zone when lasers are in use.
Standard SDZ for small arms Correct ans - cone and bat wing
How are SDZs created Correct ans - created from the "ballistic footprint" of a weapon system. Each weapon system's ballistic footprint is the firing pattern created when a weapon is tested, firing a certain ammunition at certain target media. The characteristics of the firing pattern are measured to create an SDZ.
Cone SDZ Correct ans - is typically used when conducting training that does not involve fire and movement or fire and maneuver.
Cone SDZ will contain Correct ans - rounds, ricochets, fragments, and debris.
The cone surface danger zone consists of Correct ans - a dispersion area, a ricochet area, and an area "A".
Distance X Correct ans - is the maximum distance a projectile (including guided missiles and rockets) will travel when fired or launched at a given elevation with a given charge or propulsion system.
The Dispersion Area Correct ans - is the area that contains projectiles after making initial contact with the target medium. This is the area within the surface danger zone located between the gun target line (GTL) and the ricochet area. This area accounts for human error, gun or cannon tube wear, propellant temperature, etc.
Ricochet Area Correct ans - The area that contains projectiles after making initial contact with the target medium. The Ricochet Area for the cone SDZ is defined as an additional 5 degrees off the dispersion area line on the left and right sides.
Area A Correct ans - 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.
batwing SDZ Correct ans - provides greater containment of ricochets
