What is required to be reported to Range Control before the range goes live?

Reporting the type and quantity of ammunition on hand to Range Control before the range becomes operational is essential for several reasons. First, this information helps ensure that the range is adequately prepared for the type of activities that will take place, allowing Range Control to assess if the ammunition aligns with the training or operational needs.

Additionally, understanding the type and quantity of ammunition assists in evaluating safety protocols and potential risks. Different types of ammunition may have varying safety considerations, and knowing the quantities helps in managing logistics effectively, ensuring that there is ample supply for the planned activities without exceeding safe limits.

This reporting also facilitates oversight for compliance with regulations regarding ammunition handling and storage, enabling Range Control to maintain a safe and controlled environment.
