What should be done when multiple firing points are involved in training?

When multiple firing points are involved in training, modifying the Safety Danger Zone (SDZ) accordingly is essential for ensuring safety. The SDZ provides a defined area that accounts for the potential risks associated with live fire exercises, including where rounds may land and what could happen if misfires or errant shots occur.

In situations with multiple firing points, the dynamics of where rounds may be fired from change, as does the trajectory and probability of rounds traveling into unintended areas. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the configuration of the firing points and adjust the SDZ to encompass all potential impact zones, ensuring that all personnel and equipment within the vicinity are protected.

Maintaining the existing SDZ without modification could lead to unsafe conditions, as it may not adequately cover the expanded risk areas created by additional firing points. Properly altering the SDZ based on the training scenario promotes enhanced safety for all participants and surrounding areas, effectively mitigating risks associated with live fire activities.
