When a range goes cold, who is responsible for reporting to Range Control?

The Officer in Charge (OIC) is primarily responsible for reporting to Range Control when the range goes cold. This role is crucial because the OIC oversees all operations on the range and ensures that safety protocols are strictly followed. By maintaining direct communication with Range Control, the OIC can provide timely updates about the range's status, ensure accountability, and manage personnel effectively during this critical phase.

This responsibility aligns with the OIC's duty to ensure that all safety measures are in place and that the range is operating smoothly. The other personnel involved, while vital to range operations, typically report to the OIC or assist in range safety but do not hold the primary responsibility for communicating with Range Control about the status of the range.
