The Range Safety Section enforces safety and
inspection standards/regulations on all ranges and training areas. In
the event that a safety violation is discovered, the Range Safety
Inspector imposes an immediate cease fire, if necessary, and directs
required corrective action. Each Range Inspector serves as a direct
representative of the Director, Operations and Training for control of
the entire MWTC designated training area.

Course is a requirement for organizations desiring to conduct live fire

organizations must produce level 1 certificates and a weapons
certification letter for their personnel becoming MCMWTC Range OICs and

Radio Support:
|
|
For all units
that do not possess standard military radio equipment, the
Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center Range Control
Facility has a minimal amount of communications equipment.
Therefore, in order to support as many training activities as
possible, the Range Control Facility must issue communications
equipment by reservation. RCF Communications equipment
reservations must be made at the time of your RFMSS range and
training area requests. The Range Control Facility will not
accept e-mail requests or phone requests for communications
support. This form must be completed, and a signature is
required. Please complete the form and fax to: (760)932-1686.
Upon processing your request/reservation form, you will receive
a confirmation e-mail, indicating your request for
communications equipment has been processed. MCMWTC S-6 is
capable of supporting larger requests for communications
support.
