General Instructions
1. Purpose and Scope
a. This Order prescribes the regulations, general information and
precautions to be taken in the firing of United States (U.S.)
military, approved foreign, and civilian-issued weapons if approved by
special request, and the use of live ammunition, simunitions, non-
lethal weapons devices, energy producing weapons/equipment (lasers),
pyrotechnics, blank ammunition, training devices, and explosives; also
the use of all live-fire ranges, mortar positions (MPs), gun positions
(GPs), training towers, observation posts (OPs), training/maneuver
areas (TAs), airspace, tactical and administrative landing and
parachute drop zones (DZs), water DZs, waterways/New River water
sectors, training beach (EB) Training Area [TA]), and other training
facilities such as the military operations in urban terrain (MOUT)
complex, Enhanced MOUT complex, Combat Town, Mobile MOUT, several
different Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) at various locations,
Training Tanks/Pools, Underwater Egress Trainer (UET), HMMWV Egress
Assistance Trainer (HEAT), and other related approved and control
training devices/facilities. All facilities referenced in this Order
are associated directly with live-fire ranges and TAs (RTAs) and
training facilities and do not include academic or applied
instructions facilities located within the established cantonment
areas of MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ.
b. The primary purpose of this Order is to maximize safe and
realistic training opportunities and provide a source of general
information to the using units and all commands that train aboard this
Installation. Nothing contained in these regulations will be
construed as permitting live-fire, or other high-risk training
activity/events that endangers life, property, and/or equipment.
Local Standing Operating Procedures (SOPs) and range policies will
reinforce the current edition of reference (a).
c. Safety regulations, as prescribed by this Order and the
current edition of reference (a) with all published/approved changes
are applicable to firing ammunition for training and target practice.
Where conflicts occur with instructions contained in references like
Field Manuals (FMs), Technical Manuals (TMs), Marine Corps Manuals
(MCMs, MCDPs, MCRPs), and unit SOPs; the provisions of the current
edition of reference (a) will take precedence.
d. Policies and procedures established in this Order are based on
combat, operational, and training experiences, as well as safety
considerations specified in reference (a). They have been
developed in a manner that allows units to use RTAs and training
1-1 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
facilities efficiently to achieve realistic combat training while
ensuring an acceptable level of risk. Training casualties are
unacceptable. Safety considerations and common sense are paramount.
e. Operational Risk Management (ORM) is to avoid unnecessary
risk. Successful implementation of the ORM process will increase
mission effectiveness while minimizing unnecessary loss of assets,
both personnel, and material, per reference (f).
f. MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ Range Control reserves the right to revoke
the Range Officer-in-Charge (ROIC)/Range Safety Officer (RSO) range
certification/ROIC/RSO card and usage of the airspace to any aircrew
when warranted or as directed by the RCO.
g. ROICs/RSOs will brief all personnel concerning the danger of
dud ammunition, off-limits areas, and other pertinent range
restrictions, possible hazardous areas/situations, and general/range
safety requirements. See the Range Control Web Page or RFMSS
dashboard for latest information. Personnel will be instructed not to
touch or disturb UXO duds, but to mark the site and report the
location to Range Control/BLACKBURN. If you did not drop it, do not
pick it up.
2. Applicability
a. This Range Order (SOP) and Range Cards applies to active
/reserve United States Marine Corps (USMC), active/reserve Army, the
Army National Guard, and all other Department of Defense agencies,
unless otherwise stated. It also applies to any Federal, state, and
local law enforcement agencies/departments, and persons or
organizations using Camp Lejeune RTAs or facilities.
b. In addition to the regulations stated in this Order, all
training units must abide by the Special Instructions (SPINS) outlined
in the individual range cards, which are an extension of this order.
Individual range cards containing SPINS and duties along with
responsibilities of the ROIC/RSO are located at Range Control, as well

additional runways and two TLZs.
c. The topography lacks hilly or mountainous terrain, but the TA
is densely vegetated with hardwood/pine forest, heavy undergrowth,
dotted pocosin swamps and wetland areas. The vegetation, climate,
growing season and high water table combine to present several unique
training and environmental challenges.
d. The Eastern North Carolina Coastal area has a temperate
climate with relatively mild winters, hot, humid summers, and
precipitation throughout the year. The average annual rainfall is
over 40 to 50 inches (in.), and snow/ice, although rare, does fall
occasionally on the area. Climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean
and the Gulf Stream, as weather patterns and temperatures are slightly
different from areas farther inland. Camp Lejeune is occasionally
affected by tropical storms, tornados, and hurricanes from June
through November each year. The average annual temperature is near 62
degrees Fahrenheit (°F) with high summer temperatures near 90°F and
low winter temperatures near 45°F. Humidity plays a major factor
during the hot summer months, increasing the temperature by 5-10°F.
The weather is not suitable for flying approximately 40 days per year
due to ceiling and visibility issues.
(1) Training/Maneuver Areas. Camp Lejeune has 92 designated
training/maneuver areas in and around the live-fire ranges and impact
areas. Scheduling of some TAs can be affected (a conflict) by live-
fire operations on the ranges. TAs are designated alphabetically from
“AA” to “SW”. 85 of the 92 TAs are designated as tactical maneuver
areas; one area (EB) is designated separately for amphibious and
expeditionary exercise support and beach training. TA EC is the
recreational portion of Onslow Beach and typically not scheduled for
training. Camp Lejeune also controls MCOLF Oak Grove that includes
seven TAs (Oak Grove OLF, OA, OB, OC, OD, OE, and OF), three runways,
and two TLZs (LZ Bat and LZ Emu). MCOLF Oak Grove runways and TLZs
are only for rotary-wing/tilt-rotor aircraft operations. Units can
conduct ground training at Oak Grove if properly scheduled and signed
for.
(2) Impact Areas. There are three main impact areas aboard
Camp Lejeune: G-10, K-2, and N-1/BT-3.

the understanding that each and every individual, regardless of rank,
is a safety manager. Anyone can call a CEASE-FIRE” so that the
activity in question may be halted until the unsafe condition has been
corrected.
1-29 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
b. A cease fire is mandatory and/or prescribed action taken when
the following happens/occurs:
(1) Communications is lost with Range Control/BLACKBURN.
(2) A weapon or ammunition malfunction/defect occurs which
must be reported to BLACKBURN.
(3) A safety violation, accident, incident, lost Marine, or
any MEDEVACs/CASEVACs occurs which must be reported to BLACKBURN.
(4) A fire/smoke is observed, which must be reported
immediately to BLACKBURN and the unit must go into a cease fire.
Units must report wind direction if possible.
(5) Round/Rounds are suspected of landing or detonating
outside the impact areas or safety limits (Round Out-of-Safe).
(6) When personnel, vehicles, or aircraft enters the SDZ/WDZ
or vertical hazard area of that RTA or training facility.
(7) Live-fire training presents the greatest danger to life
and limb. As such, any individual has the duty to call “CEASE FIRE”
when any unsafe condition is observed. This call can be made by
voice, radio, telephone, or any other audio or visual means. The
unsafe condition will be brought immediately to the attention of the
ROIC and RSO. The ROIC and RSO will report the “CEASE FIRE”
immediately to BLACKBURN. Once the “CEASE FIRE” issue has been
resolved, the ROIC/RSO will determine if and when safe training can
resume.
(8) Where conflicts occur with safety instructions contained
in MCOs, Operator Manuals (Caution, Warning, and Dangers), MCWPs,
MCRPs, FMs, TCs, FMFMs, SOUMs, and TMs, reference (a) will govern.
c. ORM. The ORM process will be used to assess/manage risks
during training. Units using ranges will employ ORM procedures to
identify operational hazards and implement appropriate controls in
order to minimize training mission risks. Formal ORM documentation is
required on all live-fire maneuver exercises, large training
exercises, and for any request for deviation from this Order. An ORM
Worksheet will be submitted from training units prior to training.
d. Safety Briefs. The following briefs are required to be given
by the ROIC/RSO before conducting training in the RTAs located in the
Camp Lejeune Range Complex:
(1) UXO and EOD
(2) Range Safety/Laser Safety
1-30 Enclosure (1)

Notice(s) of Ammunition Reclassification (NAR), Ammunition Information
Notice(s) (AIN), and Cleared for Overhead Fire supplement(s) if
applicable to the range safety briefs. This is to ensure all
personnel conducting and participating in live-fire training events
are aware of any potential hazards related to the AA&E being utilized.
e. UXO may be present within the RTAs, resulting in ground access
restrictions. Units shall stay away from all ordnance. Note or mark
the area in which the object is found and report its location to Range
Control/BLACKBURN immediately.
7. Training Accidents and Incident Reporting
a. Range Control shall be informed of any accident, incident, or
injury, regardless of severity, that occurs within Camp Lejeune RTAs.
b. Camp Lejeune Reporting. Any unit operating in the Camp
Lejeune RTAs involved in any accident or incident will immediately
report the situation to Range Control. If additional information or
reports are required, the unit will be notified. In the event of
serious injury or death, units will preserve the scene of the accident
until released by the investigating officer or the unit CO. In the
event of an accident resulting in a death, a representative from the
deceased’s organization will be assigned to accompany the remains.
c. Parent Command Reporting. Reports submitted under this
paragraph are not substitutes for reports required by appropriate
directives, nor do they constitute notification of a unit’s chain of
command. Reports submitted per directives, to include notification
within the unit’s chain of command, shall include the CG MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ as an information addressee.
d. Reportable Incidents. Examples of accidents or incidents

advise the individual not to remove item(s) for safety reasons and to
facilitate follow-on investigation requirements.
10. Deviations
a. Requests for deviations from this Order and the current
reference (a) may be granted based on critical mission requirements
and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Deviations are
limited to:
(1) Reducing SDZ, laser SDZ, and WDZ dimensions when terrain,
artificial barriers, or other compensating factors make smaller danger
zones safe.
(2) Modifying prescribed firing procedures appropriate for a
state of training of participating personnel to increase training
realism.
(3) Allowing personnel not authorized by Chapter 3 of
reference (a) within the danger zone, unless prohibited.

11. Medical Evacuation/Casualty Evacuation Procedures
a. General
(1) MEDEVAC refers to U.S. Army, Navy, USMC, and USCG patient
movement using designated tactical or logistic aircraft, boats, ships,
and other watercraft temporarily equipped and staffed with medical
attendants for enroute care.
(2) CASEVAC is the unregulated movement of casualties that
includes movement to and between medical treatment facilities.
1-34 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(a) The designated, government safety vehicle is the
primary means of non-emergency MEDEVAC.
(b) Other Government vehicles may be used to transport
routine injuries to local medical clinics in order to allow the safety
vehicle to remain on-scene. The Range Control/BLACKBURN must be
notified when any personnel are removed from the RTA for medical
treatment. Range Control/BLACKBURN will determine if training may
continue.
(c) Ground transportation by Emergency Medical Support and
Advanced Life Support ambulance is the primary means of emergency
MEDEVAC/CASEVAC (i.e. Priority and Urgent). Range Control shall be
notified immediately of all MEDEVACs/CASEVACs.
(3) Range Control will contact Fire Dispatch (911), who will
dispatch the appropriate emergency medical response. The Senior Fire
Department Officer/Official or Senior Medical personnel on-scene will
be in command of the incident.
(4) All training/firing injuries that occur within RTAs or
training facilities controlled by Range Control (except MCOLF Oak
Grove) requiring MEDEVAC/CASEVACs shall be reported directly to
BLACKBURN by the unit/command, even if the unit uses its own assets to
conduct the evacuation. BLACKBURN is manned 24 hours a day in order
to facilitate, coordinate, and document all training-related
MEDEVACs/CASEVACs within Camp Lejeune’s training complex. It is
critical the incident details, victim injuries, and assets necessary
to best address victim injuries are clearly relayed to BLACKBURN to
ensure a timely response. The unit is responsible for initial
mishap/incident site control to prevent site contamination for
mishap/Judge Advocate General investigations. These procedures also
apply to all contractors/civilians aboard Camp Lejeune that get
injured in or on RTAs and training facilities.
(5) The responsibility for determining the necessity for a
MEDEVAC/CASEVAC rest with the ROIC, RSO, or the onsite Commander based
on the advice from the medical personnel present. The method of
evacuation shall be determined by the ROIC/RSO/Unit CO/onsite
Commander. Evacuation of all casualties will be accomplished as
expeditiously as possible, consistent with the safety and the medical
status of the casualty.
(6) RED SIGNALS (SMOKE, PYROTECHNICS) are reserved for use
during actual emergencies only. Any unit or aircraft observing a red
signal shall immediately report it to BLACKBURN. Red signal devices
being used for training must be pre-coordinated with Range
Control/BLACKBURN before being used.
1-35 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(7) All ROICs and RSOs conducting training that involve the
firing of small arms, artillery, mortars, mines, missiles, rockets,
demolitions/explosives, urban breaching, hand grenades, or any other
high-risk/high-hazard live-fire activities will have a competent
medical corpsman/medic with appropriate medical supplies/kit,
government safety vehicle, and other required equipment present on the
RTA or training facility at all times.
(8) All ROICs and RSOs conducting other high risk training
activities such as HRST, HST, Parachute Operations (PARAOPS), Dive
Operations, Open Water Operations, Scout Swimmer, Urban Assault
Climbing, CAST Operations, Fast Roping, Rappelling, SPIE, and other
events as directed will have a competent medical corpsman/medic with
appropriate medical supplies/kit as required, government safety
vehicle and other equipment present for that high-risk event.
(9) Trauma patients will be transported to the most
appropriate medical trauma center via 911 system on the advice of the
Naval Hospital Emergency Room or the on-scene emergency responders.
(10) There is no standby MEDEVAC/CASEVAC aircraft stationed at
Camp Lejeune. The primary means of MEDEVAC/CASEVAC is by ground
transportation. The primary means of MEDEVAC/CASEVAC is the
government safety vehicle for non-emergency MEDEVACs.
b. Categories of MEDEVAC/CASEVAC
(1) Urgent (Life Threatening). Emergency patients for whom
speedy evacuation is necessary to save life or limb, to prevent
complication of serious illness or to avoid permanent disability.
(2) Priority (Non-Life Threatening). Patients who require
specialized treatment not available locally and who are liable to
suffer unnecessary pain or disability unless evacuated with the least
possible delay.
(3) Routine (Minor Injuries). Patients whose immediate
treatment requirements are available locally, but would definitely
benefit by ambulance evacuation.
(4) Mass Casualty. A mass casualty is a series of injuries
with multiple priority and urgent medical patients.
c. Precedence. In order to help the assets determine the
severity of a MEDEVAC/CASEVAC, the following priorities shall be
assigned and passed to the responsible authority when requesting a
MEDEVAC/CASEVAC.
1-36 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(1) Urgent. Evacuation of critically wounded or injured that
requires early hospitalization is an urgent precedence and is a matter
of life or death. Examples requiring urgent MEDEVAC/CASEVAC include:
(a) Chest pain that does not go away when sitting for a
few minutes;
(b) Intense and uncontrollable pain;
(c) Head injury with loss of consciousness;
(d) Deep lacerations with uncontrollable bleeding;
(e) Chemicals splashed in the eyes;
(f) Severe asthma attacks with shortness of breath that
prevents talking;
(g) Possible poisoning or overdose;
(h) Sudden weakness on one side of the body;
(i) Serious fractures, broken bones; or
(j) Poisonous Snake bite(s).
(2) Priority. Evacuation of seriously wounded or injured
personnel and require early hospitalization, but whose evacuation is
not a matter of life or death is a prioritized event. Examples
requiring priority MEDEVAC/CASEVAC include:
(a) Nausea and vomiting that will not stop;
(b) Asthma;
(c) Minor reactions to medications;
(d) Minor cuts that need to be sutured, but the bleeding
is controllable; or
(e) Possible fractures of wrist or ankles but no
deformity, numbness, or bluish discoloration;
(3) Routine. Evacuation of a deceased service member, a
patient with minor illness, or a patient requiring transfer between
medical facilities for further treatment is a routine event. Examples
requiring routine MEDEVAC/CASEVAC include:
(a) Headaches;
(b) Colds, flu, and sore throats;
1-37 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(c) Skin rashes; or
(d) Minor cuts and scrapes;
d. MEDEVAC/CASEVAC Assistance Procedures
(1) In the event of MEDEVAC/CASEVAC, the ROIC/RSO or the
onsite commander shall immediately contact and remain in constant
communication with BLACKBURN until directed otherwise. The ROIC/RSO
shall pass the following information to BLACKBURN:
(a) Category of MEDEVAC/CASEVAC request (competent medical
personnel, the senior Marine (ROIC/RSO, or the onsite Commander) shall
determine the extent of the medical condition):
1. UrgentLife Threatening
2. Priority - Serious but not life threatening
3. Routine - Minor Injuries
(b) Air or Ground Transportation
(c) Number of Patients
(d) Type of injury/injuries (description of injury),
wound, patient(s) condition and if corpsman is present. If special
equipment is needed for patient care, it must be reported to
BLACKBURN.
(e) Location of patient(s): grid coordinate, main roads,
prominent terrain feature, prominent man-made feature, live-fire range
number, or TA letters.
(f) LZ marking (panels, smoke, and lights) and all hazards
to the aircraft (if applicable) must be reported.
(g) Source of injury (e.g., gunfire, vehicle, shrapnel, or
others as required).
(h) Patient(s) age, sex, blood type, name, grade, service,
and the unit/command.
(i) Other information as required, to include factors
which may generate public interest, if any. Unit may be required to
secure the site.
(2) Primary means of reporting this information shall be
telephone. If a telephone is not available, it will be transmitted to
BLACKBURN via radio. ROIC/RSO shall speak directly to BLACKBURN with
1-38 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
all pertinent information. Personnel reporting emergencies will
maintain communication with BLACKBURN until otherwise directed by
BLACKBURN. Routine radio traffic for all RTAs and training facilities
will be suspended until the MEDEVAC/CASEVAC situation is resolved.
(3) Ground transport is the primary MEDEVAC/CASEVAC means at
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ; using organic safety vehicle or requesting an
ambulance for medical emergencies through BLACKBURN. There is no
dedicated military aircraft MEDEVAC/CASEVAC available/on-call at Camp
Lejeune. If a military aircraft is airborne and available to take the
MEDEVAC/CASEVAC mission, BLACKBURN will coordinate the MEDEVAC/CASEVAC
with the aircrew and direct them to the designated pickup site (LZ to
be determined) which the unit will select and control. The unit must
be prepared to control the aircraft both during daylight or darkness,
as required or as directed. However, at most Camp Lejeune RTAs and
training facilities a ground ambulance can arrive at the evacuation
site more rapidly, with medical personnel with more sophisticated
lifesaving support equipment. Units shall provide guides for the
ambulance from a main service road to the exact location on the
ground. If in the opinion of the ROIC, RSO, unit leadership, and
corpsman, the patient can be transported to the nearest paved hard-
surface road to speed up the process. If the unit is training within
the GSRA training complex, Highway 17 or Highway 50 shall be used. In
most circumstances, medical evacuation by unit safety vehicle will be
the most effective means of transportation. Good judgment, based on
the patient condition, will always be the paramount factor in
determining which mode of transportation (unit safety vehicle or
ambulance) shall be used.
(4) BLACKBURN will put selected ranges into a "CHECK-FIRE" as
required or directed. BLACKBURN will notify the Naval Hospital, while
continuing to monitor the radio net for updates.
(5) BLACKBURN will notify the appropriate Unit Commander, the
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ CDO/Unit Officer on duty, PMO, Fire Department,
AC/S, Security and Emergency Services (SES), Director of safety, Naval
Hospital (if required) and the Director, RCD, RCO/Range Control
Operations Officer (RCOO)/RSS, and all others as required.
(6) Under no circumstances will the names or units of anyone
killed or injured on government property be released to media
representatives or other members of the public. The appropriate Unit
Commander shall notify the PAO, which will release any required
official statement. If an OPREP-3 SIR or PCR is released by a
command/unit the command/unit must ensure the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is
included as an informational addressee on the message/report.

12. Casualty Procedures for Diving, Internal Passenger Helicopter
Aircrew Breathing Device (IPHABD), and Underwater Egress Trainer (UET)
Accidents
a. Prior to scheduling or conducting any training that uses
compressed air; IPHABD and UET (Helo Dunker) operations, coordination
with the Master Diver at 2d Reconnaissance Battalion (2d Recon Bn)
Dive Locker, (910) 450-7710/7711/7742 or Marine Special Operations
Regiment (MSOR) chamber, (910) 440-1290/1291 is required to ensure
availability of their recompression chambers a minimum of seven days
prior to the planned evolution. This is mandatory to ensure proper
preparation and assignment of personnel necessary to operate the
Recompression Chamber if needed. Scheduling is subject to 2d ReconBn
and MSOR operational commitments. 2d Recon Bn should be contacted as
the primary, MSOR as the secondary. If 2d Recon Bn or MSOR chambers
are not available, MCIEAST-MCB (911) Emergency Consolidated
Communication Center (ECCC) will coordinate recompression chamber use
with Duke University Medical Center by calling (919) 684-6726.
b. Contact 911 to request an ambulance for all diving accidents
and pool casualties. While awaiting response, the Diving Supervisor
or senior diving EMT will notify BLACKBURN and identify and evaluate
the patient for turn over to the Base EMT. If casualty is verified to
be that of a diving nature (AGE, DCS Type I, or DCS Type II), the
patient should be taken directly to the primary or secondary
Recompression Chamber after positive notification has been made with
the Chamber Supervisor. Area 2, Area 5, Courthouse Bay, and UET
Training Tanks all have red “direct hot line” connected directly to
the ECCC to request immediate medical support in case of emergencies
at those locations.
13. Forest Fire Danger and Ratings
a. General. All brush, woods, forest, and range fires,
regardless of size or location aboard MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ, shall be
immediately reported to BLACKBURN (34.70 MHZ or (910) 451-3064/4449)
and BLACKBURN will notify the Fire Department. Training units will
provide firefighting details to combat grass or brush fires if
requested, but at no time will firefighting details go down range or
into any impact areas (G-10, K-2, and N-1/BT-3). Units shall not use
Individual Combat Clothing and Equipment. At no time will a unit
place Marines in danger or harm’s way in an effort to fight wild
fires. Units must go into a “CHECK FIRE/CEASE FIRE” immediately
report the direction the smoke may be traveling from possible wild
fires to BLACKBURN. Use extreme caution on any tank trail or hard-
surface road from drifting smoke or any other condition due to the
fire. All units assigned to Camp Lejeune during peak fire season/high
fire condition shall have an evacuation route and plan in place.
1-40 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
b. Fire Readiness Planning and Readiness Plans. Each
March/September, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ, RCD will publish the fire
readiness plan message to remind all units/commands of their
responsibilities during the forest fire season. Readiness levels are
set by the North Carolina Forestry Service, located in New Bern, and
include MCAS New River, MCAS Cherry Point, MCB CAMLEJ, and the
surrounding counties. Fire Readiness planning establishes training
restrictions and preparation commensurate with the wild fire danger by
establishing forest fire danger ratings as follows:
(1) Fire Readiness Plan 1. Fire danger is low. No
restrictions on authorized RTAs and training facilities. Normal
safety precautions will be followed.
(2) Fire Readiness Plan 2. Little or no chance of fire,
occasional fire activity. No restrictions on authorized RTAs and
training facilities. Normal safety precautions will be followed.
(3) Fire Readiness Plan 3. Fire danger is moderate. The use
of certain ranges, training facilities, and TAs may be curtailed at
the discretion of the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ. Normal safety
precautions will be followed. Caution shall be exercised in the use
of all pyrotechnics, smoke type devices or any training device that
could start a fire.
(4) Fire Readiness Plan 4. Normal Fire Season. The use of
certain RTAs and training facilities may be curtailed at the
discretion of the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ. Warming fires, when
specifically authorized and approved, will be used only in designated
places and only under supervision of a SNCO or officer at all times.
Pyrotechnics/smoke type training devices are restricted to authorized
live-fire ranges only.
(5) Fire Readiness Plan 5. Fire danger is very high/severe.
All tracer/pyrotechnic/smoke/incendiary/white phosphorous/illumination
type ammunition will be restricted to the G-10, K-2, and N-1/BT-3
Impact Areas only. Tracer ammunition (all calibers) is restricted to
the G-10, K-2, and N-1/BT-3 Impact Areas only. Authority to use
tracer ammunition in GSRA or on any other ranges will be a
situational, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ command decision. Smoking is
permitted only in locations specifically designated by the training
unit commander to reduce the fire hazard. These areas will be
fireproofed and supervised. The use of generators will be restricted
to areas that have been fireproofed for at least a 50 ft. diameter
circle around each generator. Warming/camp fires are not authorized.
(6) Fire Readiness Plan 6. Fire danger is critical. All
military training in forested areas and other activities likely to
start forest fires, such as smoking, will be suspended/halted. Only
ball ammunition, fragmentation grenades on grenade ranges, demolition
1-41 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
materials on assigned ETAs, high explosive artillery, and mortar
ammunition on designated ranges/impact areas can be used during
Readiness Plan 6. All other items listed in Fire Readiness Plan 5
will also apply. MV-22 Squadrons will observe the following
procedures to further reduce the risk of stating fires when loitering
on the ground; 75 degree nacelle, 75 percent engine power, and
minimize time on deck.
(7) Fire Readiness Plan 7. Fire danger is extreme. All
training will cease and troops will come out of the field. Request to
train during Readiness Plan 7 will be submitted to the CG MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ via the AC/S, G-3/5 and the Director, RCD.
(8) Fire Readiness Plan 8/Blow-up Alert. An alert to units
that conditions could quickly elevate from level 4 to level 7 or
higher. All training will cease and all assigned units will come out
of the field as directed.
Note: As directed by the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ, as a temporary
control measure a higher Fire Readiness Plan could be set/assigned due
to extreme forest fire/wild fire condition and availability of
firefighting crews and equipment aboard the Installation.
c. Fire Department. Firefighting personnel will allow fires in
the impact areas to burn until they reach the outside of the impact
area. Firefighting personnel will not enter the impact areas or other
assigned areas that have been designated by the RCO.
d. Prescribed Burns. Prescribed burning is routinely scheduled
in RFMSS and conducted by Base Forestry to stimulate new growth,
control insects, clear underbrush, reduce the fire hazard, open up
areas for better training for military personnel, and reduce the fuel
on the ground. Do not enter TAs that are scheduled for burning and
don’t confuse prescribed burns with wild fires.
e. Catalytic converters and vehicle/aircraft exhausts can get hot
enough to catch fire to nearby ground cover/grass. Do not leave the
engine running while parked during high fire readiness periods.
14. Destructive Weather Warnings and Conditions
a. General. Storms are a potential and continuous threat to
naval shipping, aircraft, military training, on all military
installations. Adequate and timely warning, coupled with prompt and
effective actions by all unit COs, will reduce loss of life and damage
to property due to destructive weather conditions. BLACKBURN will
notify all training units of impending destructive weather. For
additional/detail information on destructive weather see the current
edition of reference (q). Definitions and terms used in this Order
are standard throughout the DoD and the National Weather Service (NWS)
1-42 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
and are authorized for use in official messages, records,
correspondence, and dealings with other government agencies or
individuals.
b. Scope. Destructive or severe weather can occur at any time.
Analysis of meteorological and oceanographic data for this area
indicates that the most serious damage comes from storms of tropical
origin, such as tropical cyclones and tropical storms where winds of
destructive force are sustained for long periods of time. Storms of
non-tropical origin (gales, thunderstorms, tornadoes) are of shorter
duration and generally localized in nature. The annual Atlantic
Hurricane Season for the MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ area is from 1 June
through 30 November. The period of 1 December through 15 March has
been established as the snow and ice storm season for coastal
southeastern North Carolina.
c. Definitions and Terms. An understanding of the meaning of the
terms defined below is critical for proper planning and operations in
destructive weather situations.
(1) Tropical Storm Systems
(a) Tropical Depression. A tropical system with sustained
wind speeds to 33 knots that is expected to intensify.
(b) Tropical Storm. A tropical system with sustained wind
speeds from 34 to 63 knots (39-73 mph).
(c) Hurricane. A tropical system with sustained wind
speeds of 64 knots (74 mph) or greater.
1. Category I Hurricane. Sustained winds of 64 to 82
knots (74-95 mph).
2. Category II Hurricane. Sustained winds of 83 to
95 knots (96-109 mph).
3. Category III Hurricane. Sustained winds of 96 to

vehicles only when responding to a life or death situation. Bridges
and overpasses may be closed due to the accumulation of ice or snow
that renders them unsafe in the judgment of the PMO.
17. Tropical Storm Conditions of Readiness. Due to the severe nature
and duration of tropical cyclones (storms and/or hurricanes), Tropical
Cyclone Conditions (TCCs) are set by the CG to prepare for an
approaching storm. The proper execution of tasks at each TCC ensures
that a progressive state of readiness is assumed by the Installation,
its component’s, and tenants. TCCs could impacts training and
operations here at Camp Lejeune and unit could/would be directed to
depart the field as directed by MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5) per
reference (q).
a. Time-oriented tasks are based upon an on-going evaluation of
the estimated time of arrival of the storm and are executed upon the
setting of each TCC.
b. Event-oriented tasks are based on an on-going evaluation of
operational requirements, personnel safety, and the progress of
preparation operations and will be executed only upon specific
direction by the MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ EOC.
c. Upon setting higher conditions of readiness, commands must
accomplish specific actions to enable a coordinated effort to minimize
the possible effects of destructive weather. When any increased
condition of readiness is established, all actions for lesser
conditions of readiness must be completed before those of the higher
condition can begin.
d. The MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5) will disseminate tropical
weather information, advisories and set TCCs to all Camp Lejeune area

Chapter 2
Environmental Procedures
1. Purpose. The protection and enhancement of our natural
environment is a valuable tool in sustaining the training and support
mission of MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ. The purpose of this Chapter is to
inform trainers/commanders about their responsibility to protect the
natural environment, stressing the important role each individual
plays in ensuring no net loss in the capability of military
installation lands to support unit training requirements, by following
the procedures in this Order. Ever increasing demands on training
areas, and ranges that support the readiness of military forces,
require a strong commitment by all hands to protect and conserve
natural and cultural resources found on the installation. Compliance
with Federal and state laws, regulations, and USMC policies related to
integrated natural and cultural resource management with the military
mission will sustain unit readiness as well as maintain healthy,
natural, ecosystems. The information in this Chapter incorporates
sound environmental practices, and establishes procedures to ensure
continued, proactive compliance with programs established for the
management and protection of natural and cultural resources on
military installations. Following these environmental management
procedures will prevent pollution, divert and minimize waste, promote
recycling, and protect and enhance our natural resources.
2. General. It is the responsibility of each individual/unit and
command to preserve our natural resources. As professional Marines,
Sailors, tenant commands, and good citizens we should strive to
provide realistic training while protecting MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ's
natural environment for future generations. The following guidelines
support the best utilization of MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ RTAs and also
protect the environment. Regulations concerning environmental
restrictions are mandated by Federal law and are applicable to all
federal agencies including military reservations. Additional guidance
on how to train and preserve the environment can be found in the
latest version of the “The Environmental Handbook for Trainers and the
Quick Look Environmental Guide.” These handbooks/guides are excellent
sources of additional information and are issued by RCD and the EMD.
3. Laws, Policies, and Plans
a. In an effort to preserve the environment, it is required that
all users comply with all Federal environmental statutes, regulations,
executive orders, and military mandates, as well as consistently
execute all relevant plans. Some of the most pertinent of these are
listed below.
(1) The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969;
(2) The Clean Air Act;

heritage and these laws are enforced on the RTAs.
b. Any violation of the environmental laws listed above can incur
civil and criminal fines and/or incarceration.
4. Environmental Impact Review
a. Some training exercises on the ranges and TAs of MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ, will require the preparation of a document called a Field
Exercise Reguest for Envonmental Impact Review (FEREIR). A blank
version of the FEREIR is available online at:
http://www.lejeune.marines.mil/Portals/27/Documents/
EMD/FEREIR_Feb13.pdf Read and follow the instructions on the first
page. Examples of training exercises requiring a FEREIR include, but
are not limited to, establishment of a tactical fuel farm, FARP, TWPS
site, cutting vegetation, digging, or non-routine activities at Onslow
2-2 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
Beach. Submit the completed FEREIR form to [email protected] at
least two weeks prior to the planned field exercise. Any units that
cannot access the website to download the form can e-mail
[email protected] and request a FEREIR form via e-mail.
b. The EMD will contact the responsible Officer-in-Charge/Unit
Representative if any topics require clarification or additional
information. A field visit/site survey by the EMD may be necessary.
After the FEREIR form has been reviewed and processed by EMD staff,
signatures of the representative from the EMD and the responsible unit
representative will be required. The responsible unit representative
must implement and comply with all remarks/stipulations developed by
EMD for the specific exercise. These stipulations will be explained
on the FEREIR form.
c. Exercises in garrison areas such as the cantonment areas (e.g.
setting up tents, antennas, generators, lights, digging or ground
disturbing activities, etc., in the units motor pool, in an open area
between buildings or on grass/parking areas in garrison) require the
submittal of a FEREIR if any answers on the FEREIR form are “Yes”.
d. Any feedback on the “ease-of-use” or any suggestions regarding
ways to improve the FEREIR form shall be sent to
.
e. Whenever there is any potential for significant environmental
impact, exercise planners shall contact Range Control at (910) 451-
1240/1236 for guidance, direction, and will be directed to other
agencies as required to ensure all requirements are accomplished.
5. Protected Species
a. MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is known to be home to eight Federally-
listed threatened, or endangered species:
(1) Red-Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW);
(2) Green Sea Turtle;
(3) Loggerhead Sea Turtle;
(4) Red Knot (Shorebird);
(5) Rough-Leaf Loosestrife;

b. The waters off of Camp Lejeune provide seasonal habitat for
several Federally-listed species, including two species of sturgeon,
leatherback sea turtles, and marine mammals, such as the West Indian
manatee, and the right whale. Guidelines for boating and training use
of the N-1/BT-3 impact area, E-1, G-5, G-7, and H-Range are given in
the following sections.
c. Although the American Alligator has recovered, it is still
listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance to the American
Crocodile. Camp Lejeune also has a Federal candidate species, Hirst’s
Panic Grass. The Bald Eagle is no longer listed as threatened or
endangered by the Federal government, but is protected under the Bald
Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act, and the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act. Finally, this document addresses other species of concern which,
although not Federally-listed, are protected.
d. Unit Commanders, Officers-in-Charge (OICs), Unit SNCOs/NCOs
ROICs/RSOs will ensure strict compliance with applicable regulations
regarding these protected species, as listed in reference (t) and this
Order.
e. Site-specific information can be obtained from the MCB CAMLEJ
Environmental Conservation (ECON) Branch, EMD, personnel at (910) 451-
5063.
6. Endangered Animals
a. RCW. The RCW is an endangered species protected by Federal
law. RCWs are cavity-nesting birds and depend on live pine trees for
their survival.
b. The CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ has implemented a program to protect
RCW habitat. Some RCW nesting areas (i.e. cavity tree clusters) are
marked with buffers within which certain training activities are
restricted. Buffer Zones extending 200 feet. out from each cluster of
cavity trees and are marked with single bands of white paint on the
trees at chest height and signs reading:

e. Manatees. Manatees have occasionally been sighted in the
waters adjacent to MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ, including Mile Hammock Bay, the
New River, and the AIWW. Manatees can grow to 15 feet. in length and
are uniformly gray or gray-brown in color. They are very slow moving
mammals; boat collisions are a significant source of manatee
mortality, both from impact and propeller damage. Everyone conducting
waterborne operations shall be alert for possible manatee encounters.
If a manatee is sighted, immediately slow to a no-wake speed. Allow
sufficient room for the manatee and maneuver cautiously away from the
encounter area. Do not approach the manatee. Report all sightings to
the EMD at (910) 451-5063.
f. Piping Plover. Onslow Beach provides potential nesting
habitat for the threatened piping plover and several other migratory
shorebirds and colonial water birds. At least five bird species nest
along the sparsely vegetated beach area and between the accreting and

(g) Freeman Creek Nest 925-313
(2) In accordance with Camp Lejeune’s permit under the Bald
Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act, no training activities, either
on foot and/or in wheeled and tracked vehicles may occur within 100
feet of any active bald eagle nest during the nesting season (1
October 1 to 15 May or until the eaglet(s) fledge, which may be before
or after 15 May). This restriction does not apply to established
roads that are currently being used. Any blank ammunition and/or
artillery fire must be directed away from any bald eagle nest.
Aircraft using the LHD Deck will only ingress/egress from the north,
south or west of Highway 172. Additional Bald Eagle nests may exist
but are, as of yet, undocumented. Bald Eagle sighting occurring from
January June shall be reported to EMD personnel at (910) 451-5063.
h. Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake and other Snakes. Eastern
Diamondback Rattlesnakes are a state-listed endangered species and are
protected by North Carolina law. The only known population of
diamondbacks in the entire state occurs on Camp Lejeune. Do not
harass or kill any snakes, unless it is in a striking position and you
cannot safely back away. Note that the vast majority of snakes seen
on Camp Lejeune are non-venomous.
i. Marine Mammals. The waters surrounding Camp Lejeune are
inhabited by marine mammals, including dolphins, whales, and manatees.
All marine mammals are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection
Act. Those marine mammals that are listed under the Endangered
Species Act, such as the North Atlantic Right Whale, receive
additional protection. When using water ranges, per paragraph
6g(1)(i)(1) below, the following precautions listed in paragraph
6g(1)(i)(2) shall be taken to avoid harm to marine mammals.
(1) The N-1/BT-3 Impact Area, Range E-1, and Range H-1 Small
Arms up to .50 cal. and 40mm Inert Practice rounds from H-1, G-5, G-7,
and direct fire 155mm Artillery from G-7.
(2) Preventative measures specific to the avoidance of harm to
marine mammals are as follows:
(a) All RTAs must be scheduled and approved in RFMSS prior
to use. Ranges that are close to the AIWW or use the N-1/BT-3 Impact
Area and training or operations in the Atlantic Ocean Sector, to
include Onslow Bay, must be scheduled at least 45 days prior to use to
allow publication of a NOTMAR and coordination with external agencies,
per the Code of Federal Regulations. Ranges requiring aerial range
sweeps (G-5, G-7, H-1, E-1, and N-1/BT-3 Impact Area) require
2-10 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
scheduling in RFMSS at least 65 days prior for Range Control to submit
a range sweep request prior to the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW)
Fragmentary (FRAG) conference. Submission of requests for range
sweeps may or may not be approved by 2d MAW due to availability of
aircraft. Units are ultimately responsible to ensure a range sweep
aircraft is scheduled for the ranges requiring the aerial range
sweeps.
(b) Prior to commencing live-fire exercises in the N-1/BT-
3 Impact Area, an air sweep must be conducted to identify marine
mammals and sea turtles (in addition to civilian boats) in the impact
area.
1. Flyovers (range sweeps) will be flown at 750
ft.AGL d consist of at least two survey lines 2nm apart and parallel
to the coast, with the first line 1-2 miles off the beach, and the
second 3-4 miles off the beach.
2. If a marine mammal or sea turtle is spotted in the
N-1/BT-3 Impact Aea, firing cannot commence until the marine mammal
clears the impact area.
(3) Lookouts with binoculars will be placed in the Bear and
North Onslow Towers for safety purposes. These lookouts are detailed
in the range instruction folders to maintain a marine mammal watch and
will “CHECK-FIRE” the range should any marine mammal be detected in
the impact area. Lookouts will be given a guidebook, developed by the
Camp Lejeune EMD to recognize when a marine mammal or sea turtle has
surfaced, and identify the species, if possible. In addition,
lookouts will be encouraged to take the Navy’s online Marine Species
Awareness Training Course.
(a) If a whale or other marine mammal is spotted within
the SDZ of the weapons being fired, all live-fire operations shall be
halted. Live-fire will not resume until the marine mammal or sea
turtle clears the impact area.
(b) The Navy Boat Crew will be present in the AIWW during
active live-fire training and will maintain a watch for marine mammals
and sea turtles in the AIWW. The Navy Boat Crew will “CHECK-FIRE” if
a marine mammal or sea turtle is seen in the line-of-fire. Firing
will not resume until the animal has cleared the line-of-fire.
Although firing from boats in the AIWW will be directed towards land
targets, those targets will not be fired upon if a marine mammal or
sea turtle is between the boat and the target.
(c) Lookouts will visually survey for marine mammals and
sea turtles. Weapons will not be fired in the direction of known or
observed, marine mammals, or sea turtles.
2-11 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

(d) N-1/BT-3 Impact Area, G-5, G-7, and H-1, are the only
ranges allowed to shoot training practice projectiles that impact
within 200 meters of the AIWW.
(e) Unit COs, OICs, officers, SNCOs, NCOs, ROICs, and RSOs
will ensure strict compliance with applicable regulations regarding
protected species (including the West Indian Manatee and North
Atlantic Right Whale), as listed in reference (t).
(f) To further protect North Atlantic Right Whales, Range
Control issues a daily warning order to trainers from November 1
through April 30 when North Atlantic Right Whales are present along
the North Carolina coast. The warning order states:
ENDANGERED NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES MIGRATE ALONG THE NORTH
CAROLINA COAST ENROUTE TO AND FROM NEW ENGLAND AREAS. USED PRIMARILY
SPRING THROUGH FALL, AND GEORGIA/FLORIDA CALVING AREAS USED DURING
WINTER. RIGHT WHALES, INCLUDING MOTHER/CALF PAIRS, CAN BE FOUND 1/4
MILE OR MORE OFF ONSLOW BEACH FROM 1 NOVEMBER TO 30 APRIL. RANGE
CONTROL REQUIRES RANGE SWEEPS DURING THIS PERIOD IN CONJUNCTION WITH
LIVE FIRING EXERCISE INTO THE N-1/BT-3 IMPACT AREA.
(g) The EMD will distribute a Critical Sightings Program
guide to all training crews operating offshore of Camp Lejeune.
(4) Operating Procedures and Collision Avoidance
(a) While in transit, vessels will be alert at all times,
use caution, and proceed at a “safe speed” so that the vessel can take
proper and effective action to avoid a collision with any marine
animal and can be stopped within a distance appropriate to the
prevailing circumstances and conditions.
(b) When whales have been sighted in the area, vessels
will increase vigilance and take reasonable and practical actions to
avoid collisions and activities that might result in close interaction
of Navy/USMC assets and marine mammals. Actions may include changing
speed and/or direction and are dictated by environmental and other
conditions (e.g., safety, weather).
(c) Vessels will maneuver to keep at least 1,500 feet. (460
meters) away from any observed whale and avoid approaching whales
head-on. This requirement does not apply if a vessel’s safety is
threatened, such as when a change of course will create an imminent
and serious threat to a person, vessel, or aircraft, and to the extent
vessels are restricted in their ability to maneuver.
(d) Restricted maneuverability includes, but is not
limited to, situations when vessels are engaged in dredging, submerged
operations, launching and recovering aircraft or landing craft,
2-12 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
minesweeping operations, replenishment while underway and towing
operations that severely restrict a vessel’s ability to deviate
course. Vessels will take reasonable steps to alert other vessels in
he vicinity of the whale/whales.
(e) Where feasible and consistent with mission and safety,
vessels will avoid closing to within 200 yard (183 meters) of sea
turtles and marine mammals other than whales (whales addressed above).
(f) Floating weeds, algal mats, Sargassum rafts, clusters
of seabirds, and jellyfish are good indicators of sea turtles and
marine mammals. Therefore, increased vigilance in watching for sea
turtles and marine mammals will be taken where these are present.
(g) Everyone conducting waterborne operations shall be
alert for possible manatee encounters. If a manatee is sighted,
personnel shall immediately slow to a no-wake speed, allow sufficient
room for the manatee, and maneuver cautiously away from the encounter
area. All sightings are to be reported to the EMD at (910) 451-5063.
7. Endangered Plants
a. Two Federally-protected and two other “species of concern” are
found aboard Camp Lejeune. It is unlawful to remove or possess
federally-listed plants. Cutting, digging up, maliciously damaging or
destroying Federally-listed plants or species of concern is a
violation of the laws/regulations protecting these species.
b. Rough-Leaf Loosestrife. A Federally-listed endangered plant
usually found in or adjacent to pocosin. Buffer zones for Rough-
leaved Loosestrife are clearly marked as restricted areas, with a
single band of white paint on the lower portion of tree trunks and/or
signs reading "Restricted Area Endangered Species Site." The
restricted area will extend 100 ft. from the outermost plant. The
following restrictions protecting the Rough-Leaved Loosestrife apply:
(1) No off-trail vehicle use within marked habitat.
(2) No earth disturbing activity (e.g., excavating, digging
fighting holes) within marked habit.
(3) No drainage activities that might alter site hydrology
within marked habitat.
(4) No bivouacking or extended occupation (2 hours of less)
within marked habitat.
c. Seabeach Amaranth. A Federally-listed threatened plant found
in the beach overwash areas and the zone between the high tide mark
and the front of dunes of Onslow Beach. Seabeach Amaranth sites are
2-13 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
roped off and posted with “No Vehicles Allowed” signs. All vehicles
must stay out of these sites.
d. Venus Flytrap. The Venus flytrap is a rare and easily
identifiable state-protected species. Digging up or poaching Venus
flytraps is prohibited.
e. Coastal Goldenrod. Camp Lejeune is home to three of the five
known populations of this recently identified species. Some sites are
marked “Conservation Area.” Units shall refrain from excavations,
heavy site disturbance, or excessive vehicle movement in these areas.
f. Conservation Areas. Conservation Areas are designed to
protect species at risk or especially sensitive habitats (e.g. Hirst’s
panic grass, coastal goldenrod, and nesting shorebirds) and are posted
with signs marked “Conservation Area”. The following actions are
prohibited in conservation areas:
(1) The use of any vehicle off designated roads/tank trails.
(2) Any earth disturbing activity such as excavating or digging
fighting holes/fighting positions.
(3) Bivouacking and the establishment of command posts.
8. Land and Wildlife Resource Issues
a. Land Use
(1) Camp Lejeune promotes soil conservation and makes efforts
to restore and repair TAs degraded by erosion. This may include
culvert replacement, repair of tactical trails, use of silt fences,
and the grading and reseeding of TLZs and artillery GPs.
(2) The above activities are coordinated through Range
Control. Range Control will notify trainers of any TAs temporarily
closed for soil conservation and erosion repair. These areas will
also be posted with signs, fences, or barricades. Personnel shall
stay out of these areas.
(3) Camp Lejeune also protects wetlands (swamps, creeks,
streams, marshes, open water areas). Use maintained tactical vehicles
trails whenever possible to avoid damage to wetlands. Avoid wet and
low-lying areas during off-road tactical vehicle movement.
b. Wildlife Resource Use
(1) Camp Lejeune also supports a variety of recreational
activities in areas not scheduled for training use. These activities
2-14 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
include fishing, hunting, trapping, fire wood cutting, shell
gathering, scouting, and bird watching.
(2) Unscheduled TAs are turned over to the CLEO for
recreational use such as hunting. This makes it extremely important
that military units schedule the TAs they want to train in via RFMSS.
When conducting training, units must ensure they stay within the areas
they have scheduled to ensure the safe deconfliction of their training
with recreational activities.
(3) The CLEO will control hunting, fishing, trapping, shell
gathering, fire wood gathering, and bird watching in TAs. Hunters are
not authorized to hunt from or within any live-fire range
complex/impact area as defined by reference (a), which includes the
cleared range footprint defined by the assembly area, firing
positions, left and right lateral limit signs, and the last row of
targets. Hunters are not authorized to hunt from or within any TLZs,
runways, training facilities/complexes (classrooms, towers, and road
networks), or inside and near buildings. Hunters are not authorized
to hunt or travel along Highway 172 between the Hubert/Triangle Gate
and Sneads Ferry Road when noted as “Closed.” Hunters are not
authorized on Lyman road between the Hubert/Triangle Gate and Sneads
Ferry Road when noted as “Closed.” When GH/GI TAs are marked “HOT”
the AIWW and N-1/BT-3 are “Closed” from the Onslow North Tower to Bear
Inlet. A special access permit is required for all personnel using
boat launches. Hunters and boaters are allowed to park along Freeman
creek road and in the vicinity when open to hunting. They cannot
block the road or prevent access to the boat launch per reference (x).
GSRA hunters are not authorized to unlock gates or access CC Road when
noted as “Closed.” Hunters within the MCOLF Oak Grove are not
authorized to hunt on runways, TLZs, or in the recreation areas.
(4) Training units must avoid wildlife food plots (they are
small, tilled/planted clearings marked with signs). Do not train in
them, drive through them, or establish bivouac sites/command posts
within them. Units must also avoid the mowed, maintained shorelines
around managed fishing ponds.
c. GSRA Wetland Mitigation Bank
(1) The GSRA Wetland Mitigation Bank is an officially
designated preservation area that was created to provide wetland
mitigation for wetlands that were filled for the construction of GSRA
training ranges.
(2) The mitigation bank is comprised of two separate areas
totaling 1,250.5 acres, including a portion of the Big Shakey Swamp
(143.4 acres) in the ST/SV TAs, and a portion of pine flatwoods and
pocosin wetlands (1107.1 acres) in the SL Training Area.
2-15 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(3) The GSRA Wetland Mitigation Bank must be protected and as
a result is off-limits to certain training activities.
(4) The Big Shakey Swamp is not accessible by roads. The pine
flatwoods and pocosin wetlands in the SL TA are bordered by; South
Pocosin Road (to the north), Ditches Road (to the South), South Bay
Road (to the east), and Prince Trail (to the west).
(5) No tactical vehicles or any type of ground disturbance is
permitted within the GSRA Wetland Mitigation Bank boundaries.
Training activities within the GSRA Wetland Mitigation Bank boundaries
shall be limited to foot traffic only. No tactical vehicles are
permitted on Watershed Road, Blue Heron Road, or South Pocosin Road.
9. Generators and Fuel Storage Areas
a. If an expeditionary refueling point is established, all fuel
containers, hoses, nozzles and connections will have secondary
containment and will be checked frequently to detect fuel leakage.
Fuel Tanker vehicles shall be parked in such a manner as to avoid the
possibility of spilled fuel entering natural or man-made drainage
systems. Tanker vehicles will have spill containment under them while
staged. Refueling operators will stay with the vehicle during the
entire field exercise. Spill kits will be located next to the
secondary containment.
b. Generators and floodlights will be placed in secondary
containment. The secondary containment will be set up properly, so as
to contain any spill that might occur. Spill kits will be located
next to the spill containment. Generator sites that are operational
during the night will be checked hourly for detection of fuel leaks.
c. Accumulated, used, absorbent pads will be collected in
properly marked containers.
10. Spill Prevention, Containment, and Clean Up
a. Prevention of oil and HAZMAT spills and the resulting
environmental damage is the responsibility of all commanders.
b. Personnel onsite shall attempt to contain the spill by using
spill equipment or by erecting a sand/earthen dam around the perimeter
of the spill to preventing the spill from entering bodies of water or
a storm drain.
c. Spill Notification. The ROIC/RSO/Commander will call 911/Fire
Department first and notify BLACKBURN second. See paragraph 16 for
addition guidance on proper procedures and response requirements.
d. Keep unnecessary/unauthorized personnel out of the spill area.
2-16 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
e. The unit will provide personnel and equipment to support spill
containment and clean up. Contaminated spill pads will be collected,
double-bagged, and placed in the appropriate hazardous waste (HW)
drum.
f. Leaking Equipment. Any vehicle, generator, or other equipment
identified as leaking anti-freeze or other petroleum oils, fuels or
lubricants (POL) will be immediately removed from service and the TA.
All releases of POL/HM/HW within the training complex shall be called
in to the Fire Department at 911 and followed by notification to
BLACKBURN. Units will capture incidental leaks by placing absorbent
matting under the area of discharge. Using units are responsible for
the turn-in of contaminated matting to the EMD after coordination with
the unit’s Environmental Compliance Officer (ECO).
g. If there is a spill, digging shall not occur until advised to
do so by the unit HAZMAT representative. The EMD will evaluate the
spill site to determine if soil shall be dug up or biologically
remediated in place.
11. Off-Road Vehicle Movement
a. Do not drive around any shut/locked gates, through chain-link
fences, or enter areas that are posted as “Hazardous Waste Site,” or
“Authorized Personnel Only.” These controls are there for a reason.
When grasses and shrubs are damaged or removed as a result of vehicle
movement, the bare soil is subject to erosion. Over time, erosion
results in a barren area of deep ruts, large holes, and flooding,
greatly restricting foot, and vehicle movement. Report excessive
damage to roads, trails, and vegetation to Range Control so necessary
corrective measures may be taken. Personnel on foot shall not cross
into any area marked or fenced off as a HAZMAT site.
b. Tracked vehicles must stay on tank trails transiting to/from
designated TAs, i.e., TLZs accessible by tank trails, free play
tracked vehicle TAs designated by Range Control (ETA-2/IF TA, Combat
Town/LZ Hawk/HF TA). Consult Chapter 3 of this Order regarding
scheduling of the above mentioned areas.
c. Tracked vehicles are to avoid wetlands and low areas (which
includes much of Camp Lejeune).
d. Trench systems and tank traps are authorized in designated
free play tracked vehicle areas after approval by Range Control and
the EMD.
e. Trees will not be knocked down by any military vehicle unless
approved by RDMD in writing.
2-17 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
f. Take measures to reduce the silting of streams caused by
vehicles at fords and approaches. Areas showing signs of erosion will
be avoided, especially by heavy equipment and tracked vehicles. No
digging is allowed in these areas.
12. Fighting/Mortar Positions
a. Fighting holes, fox holes, authorized mortar positions, trench
systems, tank traps, hull-down positions for tanks and artillery, and
other fighting positions are an important part of training and are
authorized in many areas like ETA-2/GP-23. However, everything you
dig must be refilled and leveled out after your training! All ground
repairs will be done within 24 hours of the end of the training. This
will prevent erosion and enable other units to use this area safely.
b. When Digging In
(1) Do not dig any manner of hole nor deposit any manner of
fill in wetlands. If you think you are in wetlands, go to higher
ground before digging.
(2) Dig tank traps, fighting holes, and authorized mortar
positions only in authorized areas. Do not cut tank traps, dig
fighting holes, or create obstacles in TLZs/GPs/MPs/designated re-
forested areas.
c. Expedient roadblocks on tank trails (not authorized on paved
roads) must be kept under observation and manned while in use during
tactical exercises; emergency vehicles and/or official observers
/vehicles may require access. When not in use, remove all tactical
wire and obstacles from the tanks trails/TAs.
d. UXO. If UXO is discovered during digging activities,
immediately stop digging, retreat to a safe area, and contact
BLACKBURN.
e. Groundwater-monitoring wells are located throughout the TAs
and may be encountered during training. If a monitoring well is
inadvertently damaged, immediately contact BLACKBURN and the EMD EQB
at (910) 451-5068 for further instructions.
f. Excavating or digging within the marked boundary of an
archeological site is prohibited unless expressly approved by the
Archaeologist at (910) 451-7230/5063.
13. Laying Cable and Field Wire
a. Use of communication wire and concertina/barbed wire is
essential during training, but when these wires are left behind, they
become hazards.
2-18 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
b. When using cable and field wire during training, units must:
(1) Recover and police up all communications and
concertina/barbed wire. Old wire lying in the underbrush and along
the road can become tangled around Marines, animals, and tracked
/wheeled vehicles; it also impedes forestry operations.
(2) Double check to ensure you have picked up all trip wires,
especially those connected to pyrotechnic training devices. It is the
using unit’s responsibility to remove training devices such as flash
bangs and trip flares from the TA. These items must be turned in as
required.
14. Cutting Brush and Trees
a. Forested areas are an extremely important resource on Camp
Lejeune for both training and the environment. When cutting brush and
hardwoods for camouflage, do not cut or knock down any standing pine
or hardwood trees. Do not cut any hardwood tree limbs larger than the
diameter of your arm.
b. Units are prohibited from cutting trees by explosive methods
or chainsaws without a SRR and FEREIR. Units are prohibited from
knocking over trees with vehicles/equipment. Tree cutting requests
must be submitted to the EMD (via a FEREIR), and must indicate the
number, size, and physical location of the trees.
c. Cutting or damaging of pine trees of any size is prohibited
anywhere on-base, except by permission of EMD, or in cases of a hazard
to human safety.
15. Archeological Sites
a. Many archeological sites are located throughout the TAs of
Camp Lejeune. Reference (u) directs protection against unauthorized
excavation, removal, alteration, or defacement of archeological
resources. Significant sites will be marked with the following signs:
RESTRICTED AREA
EXCAVATION, DIGGING, VEHICLES PROHIBITED
BY ORDER OF THE CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ
or
SENSITIVE CULTURAL AREA
RESTRICTED ACTIVITY
NO DIGGING
NO TRACKED VEHICLES OFF of
DESIGNATED TANK TRAILS
Reference: Base Order 5090.8

for further information
2-19 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
b. Potential sites not yet evaluated, will not be marked, but
potential impacts will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Training-
related impacts to archeological sites will be assessed and
appropriate measures taken to minimize/mitigate the effects.
c. In established archeological areas with signs indicating an
archeological site, training is restricted as follows:
(1) Walking across these areas is permitted; digging,
tampering with the site, or collecting bone/artifacts from the site is
strictly prohibited.
(2) Driving tracked vehicles on these sites is strictly
prohibited. Tracked vehicles are restricted to existing trails in
order to preserve these unique cultural resources.
(3) Operations or projects on or around marked sites require
approval from the Archeologist. For clarification of training impact
adjacent to these areas, contact the EMD at (910) 451-5063/7230.
d. If human remains are discovered in any RTA or facility,
immediately stop all ground disturbing activities to avoid further
disinterment. Notify BLACKBURN as required.
e. The collection of archeological material (i.e., stone tools,
pottery, bone) is prohibited on Onslow Beach by reference (t).
16. Field Waste Disposal
a. Field mess facilities generate four types of waste: liquid,
garbage, rubbish, and possible human waste. Disposal of this waste
must not create conditions that endanger personnel health. The
ROIC/RSO has a responsibility to supervise and inspect RTAs and
training facilities to ensure they are policed properly and field
waste disposed of properly.
(1) Via the Camp Lejeune Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP)
free of charge. Collect all gray water in tanks or bladders and
contact the WWTP staff at (910) 451-7190, extension (ext) 231, ext 232
ext 224, or the 24-hour operator at ext 225 for coordination. The
unit must arrange for hauling to the disposal point.
(2) Utilize one of the existing leach fields at TLZ Bluebird
(Grid 87079-26464), TLZ Canary (Grid 849-283) or Mile Hammock Bay
(Grid 865-263). Monitor the flow into the leach field to avoid
overspill. Do not dispose any type of hazardous liquids into the
leach field.
2-20 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(3) Collect all gray water in tanks or bladders and contract
the disposal to a portable toilet service for their fee.
(4) Construct a soakage trench if the site conditions allow
for proper treatment of the wastes. Coordinate with the EMD for
authorized disposal of grey water wastes via soakage trenches at (910)
451-5063.
(a) A soakage trench consists of a central pit, two ft. on
a side, one ft. deep, with trenches at least six ft. long outward from
each side of the pit. Trenches must be one ft. wide and one ft. deep
at the central pit, increasing to one and one half ft. deep at the far
end. Fill the bottom of the pit and trenches with small rocks which
the using unit must request, purchase, or contract. One soakage
trench can absorb the liquid waste from 200 diners for up to two
weeks. If the field mess is to be used for more than two weeks,
construct two trenches for each 200 diners and rotate them daily.
(b) A grease trap must be placed between the field mess or
shower unit and the soakage trench. (It may be of the filter or the
baffle type.) This removes grease, scrap food, and other suspended
solids and ensures the soil will be able to absorb the remaining gray
water. Suspended solids will be considered as garbage and must be
removed by the using unit.
(c) Field showers/mess units must be located on adequately
drained soils, at least 150 ft. from nearest surface water and at
least 500 ft. from nearest drinking water well.
(d) Closing the soakage trench:
1. Fill the trench with successive layers of earth,
packing each layer down before adding the next.
2. Mound the trench with at least one ft. of
compacted dirt.
3. Spray the mound with an approved residual
insecticide.
4. Call Preventive Medicine Unit, Naval Hospital, at
(910) 451-5707, to inspect soakage trenches before use and after
closing.
b. Garbage. Garbage is solid/semi-solid wet waste resulting from
shower units, food preparation, cooking, and serving. Garbage
attracts flies and animals to field mess facilities and bivouac sites,
which greatly increases the risk of disease transmission and personal
injury; it also quickly decomposes, causing unpleasant odors. Follow
these handling guidelines for garbage:
2-21 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(1) Return garbage to an administrative mess hall for
disposal. Keep it in covered containers or plastic bags while in the
field and during transportation.
(2) Do not leave trash like Meals Ready-to-Eat (MRE) bags on
the ground overnight, even if it is contained in large plastic bags.
Place all trash in dumpster as required.
(3) Store open food in lockable or animal proof containers.
DO NOT FEED WILD ANIMALS.
(4) Locate dumpsters away from tents, high pedestrian traffic
areas, and high-speed roads. Do not place food/shower unit garbage in
dumpsters. Unit will be responsible for placing and removing
dumpsters.
c. Trash. Good habits formed with regard to trash handling pay
off in combat. Expeditionary operations generate trash, but
disciplined units leave no "intelligence" track for the enemy to
exploit. There is no “magic working party” to clean up after your
unit. Commanders of using units are responsible for policing Camp
Lejeune’s RTAs and training facilities that are used by that unit. To
keep the TAs of Camp Lejeune usable:
(1) Police Assigned Area. Each unit utilizing a RTA or
training facility is responsible for its state of police upon
completion of scheduled training. Segregate trash by type; ammunition
dunnage, brass (by caliber/mm), links, metal, cardboard, wood, and
transport to the Recycling Center/Defense Logistics Agency-Disposition
Services (DLA-DS) or landfill as appropriate or as required. Use
dumpsters (when available) for small trash intended for the landfill.
Burying or burning trash is never authorized.
(2) Crush and flatten all recyclable cardboard boxes and
transport to the Recycling Center or place in green “cardboard only”
dumpsters. Cardboard that is not acceptable for recycling, paste or
paperboard, wax-coated, plastic-coated, and food contaminated
cardboard, shall be placed in brown “trash” dumpsters.
(3) Do not place grass, leaves, pine straw, lumber, metal,
pallets, dirt, metal items, or weighty materials in or next to the
trash dumpsters. All wood products will be taken to the wood lot at
the Landfill.
(4) Process ammunition boxes with reusable value through the
DLA-DS via the unit S-4/Supply Officer. Units will transport scrap
wood and unserviceable wooden boxes to the Landfill located on Piney
Green Road to be weighed. Vehicles must have a weight ticket from the
Landfill Scale Master prior to transit to the appropriate disposal
facility. Once weighed, transport the wood debris to the wood-waste
2-22 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
site across the road from the landfill. “Usable pallets” will be
taken to the Recycling Center, Building 978, next to the landfill. Do
not dispose of used pallets in RTAs or facilities, as doing so
provides more fuel for forest fires.
(5) Do not place any type of ammunition dunnage with the
recyclable materials being transported to the Recycling Center. The
using unit is required to turn in ammunition dunnage (ammunition cans,
brass (separated by caliber/mm), links, and other items as required)
to the DLA-DS.
(6) MRE wrappers/trash are currently not biodegradable. They
must be picked up throughout the RTAs and facilities and disposed of
in brown “trash” dumpsters.
(7) Report all dump/trash sites to Range Control at (910) 451-
1240.
d. Human Waste. Bivouac sites established for longer than three
days require sanitary chemical toilets. Requests are submitted
through normal unit logistics channels for portable toilets. For
planning purposes one portable toilet will support 25 Marines in a 24
hour period. The use of large, field expedient head facilities (i.e.,
slit trenches, four-holers) can be authorized. Contact the EMD for
site evaluation and consult local preventative medicine units for
guidance on using slit trenches and four holers. "Cat Holes" are
permissible in remote TAs but are not authorized in RCW areas and
wetlands. Units must ensure human waste sites are closed properly and
all holes are filled in.
e. Solid Waste Management
(1) Due to animals and wind, which will scatter trash creating
an additional police problem, stockpiling refuse for later removal is
not authorized.
(2) Open burning of solid waste as a method of disposal is
prohibited.
(3) MRE heaters will only be disposed as solid waste after
they have cooled down from activation. MRE heaters will be discarded
as a HAZMAT if it is unused.
17. HAZMAT, HAZMAT Spills, and Spoil Areas
a. HAZMAT. Spills of HAZMAT, fuels, and POLs of any quantity on
land and water must be reported promptly to the Fire Department by
telephoning 911 first, and Range Control (BLACKBURN on 34.70 MHz or
(910) 451-3064), secondly. After reporting the spill, the unit
responsible will follow guidance received from the Fire Department or
2-23 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

senior onsite EMD representative, assist in clean-up of the spill and
management of the recovered product/contaminated soil. Oil soaked
dirt must be dug up by the spilling unit and placed in a metal drum or
a hard plastic spill container. Unit personnel will coordinate with
their Unit ECO and will be responsible for the transportation of the
contaminated soils to the Camp Lejeune Hazardous Material/Hazardous
Waste Consolidation Site at Building 977/S-962, (910) 451-1482.
Higher authority must arrange contract spill response for any spills
that could potentially impact the Atlantic Ocean, AIWW, New River, or
salt marshes.
b. Battery Waste. Properly manage batteries according to
existing environmental standard operation procedures. ECOs may
coordinate with the Camp Lejeune Hazardous Material/Hazardous Waste
Consolidation Site Managers at (910) 451-1482 for the receipt of
batteries directly from field operations. Batteries shall not be
buried in the RTAs.
c. Fuel Storage Restrictions. Units wishing to establish
tactical fuel farms must submit a FEREIR to the EMD. Range Control
and the EMD must approve locations for tactical fuel farms. Prior to
approval, unit personnel must receive a briefing on fuel storage and
spill response by the EMD. Coordination for the required briefings,
spill response, and fuel storage requirements or coordination for
removal of contaminated oils, fuels, transmission fluid, anti-freeze
may be completed by calling the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Section at (910) 451-1482. Use of containers with a 55 gallon or
greater capacity must be coordinated with the Environmental Compliance
Branch Military Liaison at (910) 451-1482 and must be placed within a
soil or sandbag berm with an impervious liner. Each storage or use
area must be marked, per reference (v), have a current and properly
posted spill plan, have appropriate spill response, and communication
equipment immediately available at the site. A complete list of
requirements will be provided by the EMD. Contaminated oil, fuel and
anti-freeze shall be stored within properly marked containers and
returned to the unit motor pool or the unit must have coordinated with
the EMD for the removal from the field.
d. Munitions. Per reference (w), if a munition/round lands off-
range (Round Out of Safe) and is not promptly rendered safe and/or
retrieved, the munition will be subject to Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) authority and considered a solid waste. Units
with “Rounds out of Safe” must document them by reporting the
information to BLACKBURN on the net or by phone at (910) 451-3064/4449
or by contacting Range Control. Disposal of unused munitions or
munitions debris by burial or any other method is prohibited.

survey must be conducted and coordinated with the RDMD at (910) 451-
1307/451-2411.
e. Spoil Areas. The spoil containment berm located from Grid
8677-2616 to 8674-2619 to 8647-2638 to 8680-6393 is a restricted area
and off-limits to all unauthorized personnel. This berm contains the
dredging spoil from the Mile Hammock Bay dredging project. The spoil
is the consistency of quicksand and poses a severe hazard to anyone
who might inadvertently enter it. A newly created spoil area at Weil
Point (Grid 875-350) contains dredging spoil from the French Creek
area. It is also a hazard area and is off-limits.
18. Beach Operations
a. Any marine environment is very fragile and extra caution is
required to ensure that the balance of nature is not disturbed. Camp
Lejeune, with its ocean beaches, AIWW, inlets, marshes, and bays is no
exception. During the sea turtle nesting season, Camp Lejeune EMD
personnel must be able access all of Onslow Beach each morning (and
hourly during nighttime training) to survey for and move nests.
Accommodations must be made to allow EMD personnel access to and/or
the ability to transit through the training area.
b. Camp Lejeune’s ocean beaches are important training and
recreation assets. By following these simple rules we can preserve
our beaches:
(1) Never disturb, remove grass, or plants from the beach.
Dune plants help prevent erosion.
(2) Exit and enter the beach only at designated areas by poles
marked with black and yellow striped signs.
(3) Keep all heavy equipment, track, and wheeled vehicles off
the sand dunes and vegetation.
(4) Leave the sand fences alone. They help build new sand
dunes and prevent erosion to existing dunes.
(5) Bivouac only on the north side of the beach road.
(6) Filling sandbags from the beach is not authorized.
(7) Fires/camp fires are not authorized on the beach.
(8) The ROIC must fill out a Range Control Beach Checklist
when signing for the training beach and provide a road guard at the
gate. Upon completion of training and police call, the beach must be
inspected by a Range Inspector.

c. Rules regarding the recreational vehicle use of the beach are
covered in reference (t), Use of Off-Road Recreational Vehicles
(ORRVs). Copies of the Order may be obtained by calling the
Environmental Conservation Branch at (910) 451-5063 or it can be found
on the MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ Adjutant website at:
http://www.mcieast.marines.mil/StaffOffices/Adjutant.aspx. Beach
Permits and stickers are required to drive ORRVs on the beach. They
can be obtained at the CLEO at (910) 451-2196 or at the Onslow Beach
Caretaker’s (MCCS) office at (910) 450-7502.
d. Training exercises will generally be limited to the operating
area at Grid 908-268 and Grid 883-251. The RCO must approve requests
for use of additional beach operating area. In all cases, the beach
must be signed for at Range Control.
(1) Special-use Area #1. The area 750m northeast of Grid
883251 is available from November-March, when more maneuver or landing
area is required.
(2) Special-use Area #2. The area 500m northeast of Onslow
Beach North Tower is available for live-fire exercises
(Stinger/Avenger shoots, etc.) following coordination with Range
Control. During the sea turtle nesting season, specific measures must
be implemented to prevent disturbance to nesting females or
hatchlings. These include the following:
(a) Sandbag walls will be placed around any vehicle or
equipment left on the beach overnight.
(b) Vehicle traffic, at less than 10 mph, will be
restricted to below the high tide line.
(c) The training unit will be responsible for smoothing
the beach and removing debris once the exercise has concluded.
(d) Any deep ruts or large mounds that create a safety
hazard or obstacle to vehicles needing to access the beach will be
smoothed out by the responsible unit.
e. Egress from the beach to the road behind the sand dunes shall
be at designated egress routes. Vehicular traffic is prohibited on or
between the dunes. Access points for military traffic are marked by
poles marked with black and yellow striped signs in the vicinity of
the following grids:
(878-248) (883-251) (885-253) (887-254)
(889-256) (891-257) (893-258) (895-260)

f. There are two beach access points for ORRVs: old Riseley Pier
area (Grid 901264) and old South Tower area (Grid 883-251), per
reference (t).
g. Temporary bridging and causeway use must be coordinated and
scheduled through RFMSS at least 60 days in advance with Range Control
at (910) 451-3065/1240/1236.
19. Environmental Assessment. The NEPA requires that careful
considerations be given to environmental impacts of proposed projects
or actions. Further, it requires the consideration and documentation
of alternatives to the proposed action. Some training exercises
require the preparation of an Environmental Assessment. Examples
include training impacts on wetlands, endangered species,
archeological sites, and some training exercises taking place on or
over non-military property. In those cases, and whenever there is any
potential for significant environmental impact, exercise planners
shall consult the appropriate directives and then contact Range
Control. The POC for more information about environmental assessment
is the EMD, NEPA Section at (910) 451-4542/9363.
20. Graffiti. Graffiti on any structures within the RTAs/training
facilities will not be tolerated and perpetrators will be punished to
the full extent of the law and the UCMJ.

Scheduling
1. General
a. The Range Control Scheduling Office (located at Range Control,
Building 54 on Post Lane) processes requests for hundreds of using
unit RFMSS accounts supporting both tenant and non-tenant commands
training at Camp Lejeune. The scheduling office reviews, approves, or
disapproves all training requests. The training unit must request to
schedule all RTAs and training facilities in RFMSS. Contact the Range
Control Information Technology Specialist at (910) 450-7966 for RFMSS
training, which is conducted once a month, as well as website
information. The key to successful training at Camp Lejeune is
planning early, timely scheduling in RFMSS by the using units,
properly deconflicting all known conflicts, following up, and unit
training management.
b. In accordance with reference (x), RFMSS is the centerpiece of
the Range Management System; it is the approved USMC RTA scheduling
and management tool. This system provides a standard, integrated,
web-based program that installation RTA management personnel can use
to schedule training support for users and manage USMC RTA property
usage. RFMSS supports all major range management processes, to
include unit/organization RTA requests, subsequent Range Control
approval/disapproval action, and the automation of range fire desk
operations.
c. The scheduling office utilizes RFMSS to schedule, identify
conflicts, track, and report utilization of all RTAs, training
facilities, ammunition expenditure by DODIC, airspace, and sea space
aboard Camp Lejeune. RFMSS requests will be accepted no later than
two (2) working days, forty-eight (48 hours) prior to the first day of
the scheduled training event. Change to read: RFMSS requests will be
accepted no later than two working days (48 hours) prior to the first
day of the scheduled training event with the exception of facilities
and/or venues that do not involve or impact upon live-fire training.
d. The Range Scheduling Office is the primary scheduling and
approval agency based on sound business practices for all aboard Camp
Lejeune with the following exceptions:

(2) Ranges located at the SBRC; II MEF EOTG and MARSOC
Compounds. EOTG ranges are scheduled via EOTG S-3 in RFMSS by the
requesting command and for MARSOC ranges within the MARSOC Complex by
the MSOS S-3. EOTG range requests must be coordinated through the
OIC, EOTG (S-3) telephone number: (910) 440-2982/2676/2871 and FAX
(910) 440-2983. EOTG will forward all coordinating e-mails to the
Range Control Scheduling section. To request use of a MARSOC range a
Training Area Request (TAR) will be submitted to the Marine Special
Operations School (MSOS) S-3 Operations Training Specialist at (910)
440-1188 or the Training and Operations Planner at (910) 440-1187.
MSOS will input the request into RFMSS and notify the requesting
unit’s S-3 of the scheduling of the range and the RCNI number once the
request is approved by the range control scheduling section, per the
current edition of reference (y).
(3) Only the Range Control MOUT Staff can schedule MOUT
facilities within RFMSS, which includes: Lejeune MOUT, Enhanced MOUT
(E-MOUT), Mobile MOUT, MOUT Sniper Tower, MOUT UTFs, Forward Operation

weekends such as federal holiday periods. Only the events promulgated
in the RFWO are authorized in the RTAs and training facilities. Only
the RCO and RCOO are authorized to change the RFWO after it is
transmitted/published (Sent Out). Short notice contingencies will be
handled on a case-by-case basis after verification by the units higher
headquarters.
2. RFMSS
a. RFMSS is a computer-based, web-enabled database system that
Range Control and all training units must use. Within RFMSS, units
can view all training possibilities available via the two week
calendar, such as conflicts, known restrictions, specific requirements
as well as priority users for all RTAs and training facilities. RFMSS
and this Order will provide the requesting unit with all necessary
information to schedule training for their unit.
b. RFMSS terminals shall be located in all requesting unit
operations and training S-3/G-3/G-7 sections. Using units must have a
primary and alternate trained RFMSS clerks at all times. Unit COs are
responsible for ensuring their units have the required trained RFMSS
clerks. Range Control will conduct scheduled RFMSS training for new
RFMSS clerks as required. Range Control Schedulers will also provide
other support and entertain all reasonable questions, but will not
schedule events for units or commands if they have the capability to
do so.
3. General Scheduling Information
a. Requests for RTAs and training facilities will be submitted to
Range Control, per the procedures stated below:
b. Tenant commands will submit RFMSS requests via the web
directly to Range Scheduling for approval. All tenant commands and
units will have priority of training aboard Camp Lejeune. Units
external to Camp Lejeune like other military services, National Guard
Units, reserve units, Federal, state, and local agencies must have
prior approval from MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5) and the Commander,
Marine Corps Installations Command (COMMCICOM) (G-3/5/7), if directed.

regulations, and scheduling priorities in this Order/Range Cards will
apply.
d. Other civilian and military services, organizations, and
agencies external like other Military Services, National Guard Units,
Reserve Units, Federal, state, and local agencies to Camp Lejeune must
request approval to train aboard Camp Lejeune from MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ
G-3/5 via a formal Feasibility of Support message to COMMCICOM whose
plain language address (PLA) is COMMCICOM G-3-5-7 and CC the CG
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ G-3-5. If military personnel or equipment is
requested it must also be sent to Commander, Marine Forces Command PLA
is COMMARFORCOM G-3-5-7 and CC the CG, II MEF G3. This request must
include the type of training to be conducted, listing all required
RTAs and training facilities, restricted airspace, adjacent waters and
any logistics support needed. Upon approval, a “Liaison Officer” from
that unit will be assigned to MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5) and Range
Control. The “Liaison Officer” from requesting organization or agency
will provide direct liaison between the requesting unit of the agency,
Camp Lejeune, and other tenant commands as required. All
administrative procedures, RTA and training facility regulations, and
scheduling priorities are contained in this Order.
4. Scheduling
a. All tenant formal, MOS-producing schools can schedule live-
fire ranges, training area, and training facilities that directly
support their program of instruction (POI) up to 120 days prior (110
days for USCG SMTC) to the planned activity. Intent is to allow these
schools a 30 day priority over other units to schedule their school’s
training. Normally, units can request to schedule live-fire ranges,
training areas, or any other training facilities up to 90 days in
advance to the planned training activity. If available in RFMSS RTAs
and training facilities can be requested as late as 0700 two working
days (at least 48 hours or more) prior to the planned use. Exceptions
include ranges that are close to the AIWW, the use of the N-1/BT-3
Impact Area, and training or operations in the Atlantic Ocean Sector,
to include Onslow Bay, must be scheduled at least 45 days prior to use
to allow publication of a Notice to Mariners (NOTMAR) and coordination
with external agencies, per the Code of Federal Regulations. Ranges
requiring aerial range sweeps (G-5, G-7, H-1, E-1 Ranges, and N-1/BT-3
Impact Area) require scheduling in RFMSS at least 65 days prior to
usage for Range Control to submit a range sweep request prior to the
2d MAW FRAG conference. Submission of requests for range sweeps may
or may not be approved by 2d MAW due to availability of aircraft.
Units are ultimately responsible to ensure a range sweep aircraft is
scheduled and approved for the ranges requiring the aerial range
sweeps.
3-4 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
(1) 2d Tank Bn, 2d Light Armoured Reconnaisance Bn, and 2d
Amphibious Assault Vehicle Bn can schedule their semiannual gunnery
crew re-qualifications on SR-10 and SR-7 up to one year in advance.
WTBn S-3 can schedule assigned ranges at Stone Bay Range Complex
(SBRC) up to one year in advance.
(2) All military dive/Self-Contained Underwater Breathing
Apparatus (SCUBA), open water swims, and rotary-wing CAS operations
/training must be scheduled 14 days in advance of the event to ensure
proper notification via NOTMARs and any other required coordination.
Late requests for training events that require a NOTMARs or
notification of the public will not be approved.
(3) All parachute operations scheduled in DZs within the Camp
Lejeune area must be scheduled 35 days in advance of the date of the
event to ensure proper notice via NOTAM. Range Scheduling will submit
a monthly consolidated NOTAM Request. NOTAMs for late requests for
Parachute Operations (PARAOPS) will be the unit’s responsibility.
RFMSS requests for PARAOPS must be submitted NLT three days (72 Hours)
from the first day of the training event (see paragraph 1). A
separate NOTAM worksheet must be submitted by the unit to Cherry Point
Airfield Management no later than 72 hours prior to the event (See the
worksheet in Appendix J). NOTAM worksheets must include the DZ to be
used, location within a 25 nm of a civilian Navigational Aids
(NAVAIDs) Listing Radial and DME from the NAVAID. The nearest
civilian NAVAIDs for Camp Lejeune’s DZs are Wilmington VORTAC (ILM)
and Dixon NDB (DIW). See Table 4-7 and 4-8.
b. The MEU S-3 is responsible for the deconfliction and
submission of all RFMSS requests generated by the MEU subordinate
elements (MEU HQs, BLT/CLB/ACE Elements). Likewise, other Marine Air-
Ground Task Force (MAGTF) commanders are responsible for the
deconfliction and submission of all RFMSS requests generated by their
subordinate elements and units to ensure proper coordination has taken
place.
c. Requests to use artillery GPs, for which standard/approved
safety data has not been computed or listed in the USMC Artillery
Safety SOP, must include an overlay of the SDZ and must be surveyed by
the 10th Marines Survey Section. Requests with survey results shall
be provided to the Director, RCD 10 working days in advance of the
first day of training.
d. Requests to use MPs for which standard/approved safety data
has not been computed must include an overlay of the SDZ and must be
surveyed by the 10th Marines Survey Section. Requests with survey
results shall be provided to the Range Control (Director, RCD) 10
working days in advance of the first day of training.

MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
e. During hunting seasons, all unscheduled TAs are opened to the
CLEO for hunting. “Recreational Sheets” listing the open hunting
areas (TAs not scheduled) are sent out to the different agencies
aboard Camp Lejeune the day prior.
5. No-Shows/Late Arrivals. Units that cancel scheduled RTAs or
training facilities must notify Range Control Scheduling Department
during normal working hours or BLACKBURN after working hours
immediately by phone, written communications, or e-mail. There is no
reason for a “No Show”.
a. Late Arrivals. A unit must occupy a contractor-supported
range with a responsible unit representative (not necessarily the
ROIC/RSO) within one hour of scheduled "HOT" time or the range will be
cancelled for that day. If a unit fails to arrive on a range that
scheduled EOD support has been requested or has requested for down-
range target emplacement within 30 minutes of the scheduled time, that
unit forfeits the requested EOD support for that day. Requests for an
extension may be granted if notified within the designated time
requirements. During normal working hours Range Control requires two
to four hour notification. Extensions can be granted after normal
working hours, weekends, and holidays after BLACKBURN receives
authorization by the approving authority. A contractor must be
present at all times during the scheduled live-fire event on
contractor-supported range unless pre-arranged with Range Control that
contractor support is not required on that scheduled and signed for
range.
b. Requests for EOD support must be submitted to the Director,
RCD and the OIC/SNCOIC Base EOD five working days in advance of the
first day of training.
c. RTAs and facilities may be used by more than one unit, on the
same day if scheduled properly and deconflicted by time, by unit.
There are two methods of use for sharing RTAs and facilities; Co-using
and Piggy-backing.
(1) Co-using is encouraged when the following coordination,
restrictions, and conditions are met:
(a) Co-using unit will contact the original requesting
unit and coordinate use of a RTA or facility. Original requesting
unit will send an e-mail to Lejeune Range Scheduling modifying their
time, event, or area allowing the Co-using unit to schedule their
training in RFMSS on the same date, de-conflicting by time or space.
Co-using, the original scheduled unit will provide the ROIC/RSO and
the Co-using unit or units on that scheduled range will also have its
own ROIC/RSO/Corpsman and be communicating with BLACKBURN for the
same weapons and ammunition scheduled in RFMSS by the original unit.
3-6 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
(b) More than one unit may use a range and training
facility supported by a contractor if the scheduled hours of
operations collectively do not exceed the contractor’s daily hour
limitations for that range/facility.
(c) MOUT facilities have restrictions emplaced on them for
both single and multiple units conducting training based on the number
of Marines, vehicles to be used, training activities and training
requirements. MOUT facilities are deconflicted by event and area
needed or the number of building/structures to be used so multiple
units can use the limited recourses. These facilities are
deconflicted and scheduled by the MOUT staff based only on the
training unit needs/wants.
(2) Piggy-backing is discouraged even if the following
coordination, restrictions, and conditions are met:
(a) The piggy-backing unit(s) must coordinate directly
with the host unit (the unit that originally scheduled and signed for
the range/training facility). The piggy-backing unit must be using
the same weapon(s)/weapon system(s), and use the same ammunition by
DODIC that the hosting unit scheduled and signed for. Piggy-backing,
the original scheduled unit will provide the ROIC/RSO/Corpsman and the
piggy-backing unit will fall under that unit’s ROIC/RSO/Corpsman
firing the same weapons and ammunition that is scheduled in RFMSS.
(b) The host unit agrees to the proposed piggy-back and
all requirements set forth by this Order are in place, enforced, and
supervised. The host unit must send an email to Lejeune Range
Scheduling discussing this arrangement, control measures, and agreeing
to the piggy-backing. Range Scheduling must approve the piggy-backing
arrangement prior to its use.
(c) The host unit must let BLACKBURN know of the
additional piggy-backing unit(s) and number of additional personnel
and ammunition expended.
(d) The hosting unit must request Range Control approval
to employ or change any item not on the original RFMSS request at
least two workdays prior to actual firing time. The piggy-backing
unit(s) will work through the hosting unit for approval of any
changes.
(e) Range Control must authorize any changes to previously
approved firing times or additional weapons/weapon systems or
ammunition.
(f) If the host unit cancels training, the piggy-backing
unit’s training is also cancelled as well.
3-7 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
(g) If piggy-backing unit desires to resubmit for the
range/area/facility, scheduling conditions mentioned in paragraph 4.a
still apply. Any written SRR or agreements must be readdressed and
re-approved.
d. Cancellation. When circumstances require cancellation of a
previously schedule RTA or training facility, the cancellation will be
made using RFMSS by the originator of the initial request. Every
effort must be made to determine necessary cancellations and report
them to Range Control or BLACKBURN in a timely manner.
e. The scheduling of a TA(s) will not include any of the other
training facilities that may be located within the borders of that TA,
such as MOUTs, FOBs, AFS Sites, TLZs, parachute DZs, GPs, MPs, OPs, or
live-fire ranges in that training area. They must be scheduled in
RFMSS separately and signed for separately. When there will be
personnel on the ground supporting or being supported by rotary-wing
aircraft in a LZ (externals, SPIE, rappelling, troop lift, hoisting
operations, etc.), the LZs must be scheduled and signed for prior to
training being conducted. If the ground unit is being supported, they
will schedule and sign for the LZ. If the ground unit is supporting
rotary-wing aircraft operations, the squadron conducting the event
will schedule and make comments in RFMSS listing the supporting ground
unit, supporting squadron, and who will sign for the LZ.
f. All live-fire ranges aboard Camp Lejeune must be closed at
regular intervals for EOD sweeps/range maintenance in order to reduce
UXO hazards and to conduct regular range maintenance and re-targeting.
Priority and timing of closures will be determined by the Range
Control and RDMD. Closures will be scheduled in RFMSS and annotated
in the RFWO.
6. Special Range Request
a. Any deviations/changes from established RTAs, live fire range,
training facilities, training events or approved training scenarios
identified in this Order or in the Range Cards requires a SRR. Some
minor/low risk training events are coordinated/approved via e-mails to
the RSS like a bivouac request or adding additional DODICs to a range
as an example. See Appendix E of this Order for more details
regarding the creation and submission of SRRs as required.
b. All SRRs must be submitted to Range Control, via the RCO, no
later than 10 working days prior to the planned event. Late entries
will be considered only on a case-by-case basis due to coordination
and planning involved in an SRR.
c. All SRRs must include the following:
3-8 Enclosure (1)

8. Scheduling Hikes/Conditioning Marches. All hike routes will be
submitted to Range Control Operations Officer or the Range Control
Operations Chief at least two working days (48 Hours) in advance of
the conditioning hike/force march to ensure proper scheduling of the
TAs and roadways. If the unit is conducting a hike within a lettered
3-10 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
TA the unit must schedule the TA in RFMSS. Units will include a map
overlay and must fill-in and sign the Range Control Hike Checklist. A
copy of this checklist is available on the Range Control website.
9. Priority of Training
a. In the event of conflicting requests, RTAs and training
facilities will be assigned to requesting units in the following
precedence:
(1) CAPEXs/VIPEXs, as directed Major Joint or Combined
Training Exercises.
(2) USMC Formal Schools like SOI-E, MCES, MCCSSS, MSOS,
training required by POI (120 Days). USCG SMTC has only (110 Days).
(3) Pre-deployment training or training in conjunction with
assignment to contingency status (i.e. EOTG events in support of MEU
PMINT, COMPTUEX, and CERTEX) and approved by the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ
AC/S G-3/5 and the RCO. Normal regular assigned deployments/PTP
training receive only 90 day scheduling in RFMSS window.
(4) Special training directed by higher headquarters and
approved by the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (AC/S G-3/5) and the RCO;
gunnery requalification; testing, research, development and evaluation
activities.
(5) Normal unit training/Pre-deployment Training Program/Unit
Deployment Program cycle training (90 Days).
(6) Sports and recreational activities (MCCS) as scheduled.
b. Unique training activities that do not fit the categories
above will receive a training priority from the unit’s assigned higher
headquarters via formal correspondence and approved by the CG MCIEAST-
MCB CAMLEJ (AC/S, G-3/5) and the RCO. Range Control Scheduling will
approve RFMSS requests based on sound business practices based on the
type of training events requested/scheduled and the type of range
being requested/scheduled to ensure limited resourses (live fire
ranges) are used properly/wisely/primary purposes (Economy of
Management of Assets). Example a live fire and movement/maneuver
range being used for BZO/CMP/Static Live Fire event.
c. Priority Range Assignments
(1) Unit training priority assignments are listed below.
These range priority assignments do not preclude other units from
requesting and using the range when it is not used by the priority
unit. The list below is subject to change.

10. Bumping Procedures. A unit can be bumped off a range to support
a higher priority/contingency as designated/directed by II MEF G-3/7,
MARSOC G-3/7, TECOM Schools, or other tenant command. The RCO or RCOO
will make every effort to relocate the bumped unit to a similar RTA or
training facility or move the bumped training to another date that
meets the unit’s needs.
3-12 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
11. Notice to Mariners (NOTMAR)
a. All training events that affect the waterways around Camp
Lejeune, to include the AIWW, the entire New River (all water
sectors), Mile Hammock Bay, and Onslow Bay (N-1/BT-3 Impact Area),
requires publication of a NOTMARs for coordination with external
agencies. W-122 15B airspace and the water space must be scheduled by
the requesting unit directly to Fleet Area Control and Surveillance
Facility, Virginia Capes (FACSFAC VACAPES) for events like Stinger
Missile/Avenger live-fire events using Range E-1 and Naval Gunfire.
b. All events that require NOTMARs must be scheduled at least 14
working days in advance. Late requests for such events will not be
approved without special justification and the approval of the
Director, RCD/RCO.
c. Many of the ranges that require a NOTMARs also requires an air
sweep to be conducted during daylight hours before going into a “HOT”
status: E-1, G-5, G-7, H Ranges, Naval Gunfire, and N-1/BT-3 type
events. In order to arrange the air support necessary for the sweep,
these ranges must be scheduled at least two calendar months (65 Days)
prior to the firing date. (e.g., A unit wants to fire across the AIWW
in the month of March, the request must be submitted NLT the last
working day of January.) Units requesting to schedule these ranges
without the proper lead time are responsible for coordinating and
requesting their own air support for the sweep. If there is no air
sweep, no live-fire can be conducted. Ranges that fire over the AIWW
can only conduct live-fire for one hour (during even hours) and must
go “COLD” for one hour (during odd hours).
d. Units are also required to schedule the Restricted Area
(Airspace) R-5306C Airspace with Cherry Point Range Management for
those times while conducting live-fire with Stinger Missiles/Avenger
live-fire events using Range E-1.
12. Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)
a. All training events that require GSRA airspace activation
outside the published time of use (0600-1800 Monday-Friday) require a
NOTAM be in place 24 hours in advance. Some examples of these events
may be live-fire on GSRA ranges or parachute operations. Range
Control coordinates a monthly NOTAM request message. Events that
require a NOTAM must be scheduled in RFMSS 72 hours (three days prior
to the first day of the month the event is scheduled in). This gives
Range Control time to coordinate with external agencies prior to
releasing the monthly NOTAM request message for the month the event
will occur. (e.g., if a unit wants to shoot on SR-10 in the month of
3-13 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
March, the request must be submitted no later than five working days
before the end of February.)
b. For each NOTAM previously submitted, a separate NOTAM
Worksheet will be submitted by the requesting unit to Cherry Point
Airfield Management no late than 96 hours prior to the start time of
the scheduled event (see example worksheet at the end of this
chapter). For questions concerning the NOTAM worksheet contact Cherry
Point Airfield Management at (252) 466-6768.
c. All ParaOps require a NOTAM to be accomplished/approved.
ParaOps training activities within the Camp Lejeune range complex that
extend outside the GSRA also require a NOTAM.
13. Road Closures
a. When a requested event requires the using unit to close a
major roadway, that event must be scheduled ten working days in
advance in order for Range Control to publish a road closure message.
Ranges requiring road closures include:
(1) Lyman Road Ops for (AV-8B) Harriers or F-35B Operations.
Closes Lyman Road.
(2) G-29B and G-10 Convoy Range shooting the M2 .50 cal/.50
cal Sniper Rifle. Closes Highway 172.
(3) ETA-2 MICLIC (Inert) Line Charge. Temporarily closes a
section of Highway 172.
(4) Naval Gunfire. Closes Highway 172 and the AIWW.
(5) G-6 CBC if requested and scheduled by the unit to close
Highway 172. Road Guards are required to be posted.
(6) G-29B when using the .50 cal./M1-A1 120mm TP will close
Highway 172.
(7) CVOT Highway 172 will close Highway 172.
(8) Other training events may require road closures/road
guards if requested.
Note: Lyman Road and Highway 172 cannot be closed at the same time.
b. SRRs may require road closures/gates/barriers/road guards,
depending upon the requesting unit’s SOM, weapons, and/or ammunition.
c. The unit is responsible for posting all road guards, with
required night/low visibility gear (i.e., road guard vests and
3-14 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
lights), securing required gates, maintaining communications with
BLACKBURN and the assigned road guards at all time. Using Units must
sweep/clear the roads and the affected TAs assigned prior to going
into “HOT” status and report back to BLACKBURN that this has been
accomplished.
14. Check-Out/In Procedures
a. Responsibilities
(1) The Unit CO of the using/properly scheduled unit is
responsible for the RTA or training facility and the safe conduct
/proper utilization of the scheduled training.
(2) The Unit CO, or his/her designated representative, must
read and understand this entire current/approved edition of the Range
Control Order/Range Cards. Sections on the duties of ROIC/RSO, safety
requirements, and special instructions for the range requested are
especially important. The ROIC and RSO must know the weapons
system/ammunition safety data, SDZs/WDZs, all restrictions, this
Order, the Range Card for that range, and all applicable weapons
safety publications. TMs/FMs/TCs/MCWPs/MCRPs/SOUMs and other reguired
references must be in their possession while on the range.
(3) Per reference (a) all units must have a current Command
Certification Letter (CCL) for all ROICs/RSOs for all live-fire
training events signed by the unit CO. The Base RCO also requires all
non-live-fire specialty personnel to be on the CCL due to the
Hazardous/High Risk nature of the training. The CCL must be updated
quarterly and is due before the beginning of the new quarter
(January/April/July/October) or when directed. The original CCL must
be provided to Range Control in the proper format, per Appendix M of
this Order and each additional sheet of the enclosure signed. Updates
to the letter’s enclosure listing qualified personnel are NOT
authorized to be sent via e-mail/FAX. Range Control must have the
original letter. The Command Certification Letter also includes all
non-live-fire certifications/qualifications specialists that must be
in a current status such as; Dive Supervisors, Dive Masters, DZ Safety
Officers, Jumpmasters, CAST Masters, Safety Insert Officers (SIOs),
Forward Air Control (FACs)/Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTACs),
Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers, Shore Fire Control Party, HRST/HST
qualified personnel, Breachers, Marine Corps Instructor of Water
Survival (MCIWS), Marine Corps Instructor Trainer of Water Survival
(MCITWS), HEAT Instructors, Laser Safety, all CBRNE 5711/5702 Marines
regardless of rank, and CVOT instructors, UAS (UAS Mission Commander
/UAS Pilot) or any other specialties no matter the rank of that
person.
(4) Units are required to submit an "As Designated Letter" to
Range Control if the unit expects to use more than three ROICs for any
3-15 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
particular scheduled event/exercise during that extended period of the
scheduled training. The "As Designated Letter" eases some of the
requirements to bring all of the ROICs to Range Control to sign out
multiple events/ranges /facilities. ROICs are still required to
report to Range Control and conduct any "Face-to-Face" requirements.
The "As Designated Letter" also facilitates and eases turnover of the
ROIC on that given day of training should an emergency arise or other
duty requirements require his/her removal of current ROIC's duties.
The new ROIC is required only to contact BLACKBURN for the change-
over. The new ROIC change will take place once BLACKBURN verifies all
necessary paperwork is in order. If that particular ROIC is not on
the current "As Designated Letter", the unit will either submit an
updated one or have the new ROIC come to Range Control and sign out
that event/range/facility. Units can contact Range Control Scheduling
for an e-mail example of the required format/letter.
(5) The Unit CO’s designated representative must ensure the
use of all required safety items, including but not limited, to range
flag, light(s), phone(s), radios, barricade(s), flak jackets, helmets,
eye and hearing protection, emergency pyrotechnics if required by the
using unit, illumination device(s) and reflective vests, safety
vehicle, corpsman with required medical kit, binoculars, special range
checklists, instructions, and scenarios.
(6) The Unit CO’s designated representative must complete all
required coordination/deconfliction in advance of the scheduled
training event to include any environmental requirements like a FEREIR
if required. The ROIC/RSO is responsible for unit’s conduct, proper
utilizations, and safety of that RTA or training facility that is
properly scheduled and signed for and all other requirement set forth
in this Order. The Unit CO/ROIC/RSO must enforce and supervise all
requirements at all times during the training event. ROIC, RSO,
assigned duty corpsman, and safety vehicle driver WILL NOT have any
other duties/assignments, participate in the training event, or fire
any weapon/ammunition during the time period they are assigned duties
as the ROIC/RSO/Duty Corpsman/Safety vehicle Driver.
(7) The Safety Vehicle/Driver and properly equipped Corpsman
SHALL be at a safe distance from the high-risk activity so they can
respond as needed or required.
b. Checking Out/Checking-In Ranges
(1) Using units can check out scheduled ranges up to eight (8)
working days in advance (Monday-Thursday 0730-1630 and Fridays 0730-
1530 for Special Events) to the date of use/scheduled event. The ROIC
can check out RTAs or facilities from Range Control and must check out
no later than 1200 the day prior to the scheduled event (i.e. Thursday
for ranges on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Holidays that fall on a
Tuesday). Ranges not checked out by 1200 are cancelled and recorded
3-16 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
as a unit no-show. Friday will be used to check out special events
(TACPs/Large Exercises) and write the weekend and holiday
schedules/messages if prearranged with the Range Control Scheduling
Section. Those RTAs and training facilities not checked out Monday-
Thursday can be checked out on a Friday if coordinated by unit’s
operation officer and approved by the RCOO prior to 1200 on Thursday.
(2) Prior to checking out any RTA or facility, the ROICs and
RSOs must have attended the Range Control Range safety brief, have a
current, signed Camp Lejeune Range Control Safety Card (ROIC/RSO Card)
in their possession, and be on the unit’s current Command
Certification Letter.
(3) The ROIC/RSOs of all CAS/SIMCAS must conduct a Face-to-
Face with BLACKBURN right after signing for the event.
(4) Grenade ranges require special coordination due to the
requirement of having an EOD response team standing by to take
immediate action with UXO/dud grenades. See the Range Cards for
additional information on F-6, K-510, and MAC-3.
(5) The individual ROIC who checked out the range will be the
only one who can check it back in. The individual who checked out the
range will be responsible for all equipment and items signed out and
must return all Range Control safety equipment within 24 hours.
ROIC/RSO is requested to submit a range after action report concerning
the quality, police, and maintenance condition of the range, via
Interactive Customer Evaluation or ICE for each range used within 24
hours of completion of the training event. This will assist Range
Control/Range Maintenance in the identifying maintenance problems or
any enhancements as early as possible so they can be resolved.

Airspace, Aircraft, UAS Operations, and Facilities
1. General
a. This Chapter describes restricted airspace, aircraft operation
procedures, UAS operations, and other facilities controlled by Camp
Lejeune, and sets forth all instructions, policies concerning their
use in conjunction with the Camp Lejeune RTAs and training facilities.
Camp Lejeune restricted airspace is controlled to safely permit
multiple uses with the least interference. All firing and aircraft
operations must conform to airspace regulations contained in this
section and all other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations.
b. A major portion of Camp Lejeune lies within airspace
designated by the FAA as Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306D,
Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306E, Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5303
A/B/C, and Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5304 A/B/C (Figure 4-1).
Military aircraft operating within the restricted airspace will squawk
4000 unless already assigned a discreet transponder code by Air
Traffic Control (ATC). A Letter of Procedure (dated 24 February 2010)
signed by MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ, MCAS Cherry Point, Regional Airspace
Coordinator, and DOT/FAA (MCAS Cherry Point) and a Letter of Agreement
(dated 15 October 2007) signed by MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ, MCAS New River,
Regional Airspace Coordinator, and Department of Transportation/FAA
(MCAS Cherry Point) further divides Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5303
and Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5304 by identifying sub areas; SR-6,
SR-7, SR-8, SR-9, and SR-10 for real-time joint use and scheduling.
2. Special Use Airspace
a. SUA. SUA is airspace of defined dimensions wherein activities
must be confined because of their nature, or wherein limitations may
be imposed upon aircraft operations that are not a part of those
activities.
b. Restricted Area. Restricted areas contain airspace identified
by an area on the surface of the earth within which the flight of
aircraft, while not wholly prohibited, is subject to restrictions.
Restricted areas denote the existence of unusual, often invisible,
hazards to aircraft such as artillery firing, aerial gunnery, or
guided missiles.
c. Using Agency. The using agency is the military unit or other
organization whose activity established the requirement for the SUA.
The using agency is responsible for ensuring that:
4-1 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(1) The airspace is used only for its designated purpose.
(2) Proper scheduling procedures are established and utilized.
(3) The controlling agency is kept informed of changes in
scheduled activity, to include the completion of daily activities.
(4) A POC is made available to enable the controlling agency
to verify schedules and coordinate access for emergencies, weather
diversions, etc.
d. Controlling Agency. The controlling agency is the ATC
facility that exercises control of the airspace when an SUA area is
not activated. A military ATC facility may be assigned as the
controlling agency, subject to the concurrence of the service area
office and the concerned Air Route Traffic Control Center. A
controlling agency shall be designated for each joint-use SUA area.
e. Restricted Areas

(6) The restricted areas shall be managed on a real-time basis
to minimize impact on non-participating aircraft. When non-
participating aircraft on V-139 are unable to transit above the
restricted area altitudes in use, range activity shall either be
capped or a cease-fire imposed to accommodate the aircraft on the
airway. On occasion, ATC may vector non-participating aircraft off
the airway to the east of the range through Restricted Area (Airspace)
R-5306D and Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306E, which shall be
deactivated for that purpose.
f. Warning Area W-122. The portion of Warning Area W-122 of
concern to Camp Lejeune is the airspace over the Atlantic Ocean 30
miles in radius from a point three miles at sea off Onslow Beach
Bridge (Areas 15 and 15A). Warning Area W-122 is controlled by the
FACSFAC VACAPES.
g. New River Class D Area. MCAS New River controls this
airspace, which extends upward from the surface to and including 2500
ft. MSL and within a five nm radius of MCAS New River.
3. General Aircraft Operations
a. Fixed-wing operators utilizing Restricted Area (Airspace) R-
5306D/E are also required to schedule Restricted Area (Airspace) R-
5306C and Hatteras Foxtrot Memoradum of Agreement (MOA) with Cherry
Point Central Scheduling Office at (252) 466-4040/4041 (DSN 582).
Same-day scheduling of Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306C and Hatteras
Foxtrot MOA will be through BIG ROCK Range Control at (252) 466-
2936/5127, (DSN 582). Arrival and departure notifications to/from
Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306C, Hatteras Foxtrot MOA are required
with BIG ROCK Range Control on UHF 323.775 or VHF 141.95. Fixed-wing
operators utilizing W-122 airspace are required to schedule with
FASFAC VACAPES, (757) 433-1219/1286. Arrival and departure
notifications to/from AIR 15 are required with Cherry Point Approach
Control via direct communications on UHF 268.7 or VHF 124.1. The
resulting block Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306C, Restricted Area
(Airspace) R-5306D/E, Hatteras Foxtrot MOA, and AIR-15 provides the
maneuver area needed to contain and protect participating aircraft
from non-participants during fixed-wing operations. When fixed-wing
aircraft cannot maintain flight within a scheduled SUA and spill into
an adjacent SUA or out of assigned SUA a “Whiskey Alert” call will be
reported immediately to the agency responsible for the affected
airspace.
b. This Order provides command, control, and maneuver protocols
for operations inside SUA. Terms such as “controlling agency”,
“controller” and/or “terminal controller” are used in the tactical
sense and are not to be confused with 14 CFR Part 73 or Part 91
terminologies. All 14 CFR responsibilities remain intact.

: Use at or above 1200 feet. MSL requires advance coordination
with BIG ROCK Range Control to activate Restricted Area (Airspace) R-
5306C and the Hatteras Foxtrot MOA. Additional Control Points, as
required by the Direct Air Support Center (DASC) for a specific
exercise, shall be published in the Exercise Air Ops Plan and Pilot-
Controller Handbook after coordination with the RCO.
c. Prior to entering the Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306D,
Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306E, Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5303
A/B/C, or Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5304 A/B/C area, aircraft shall
contact BLACKBURN or appropriate tactical agency (CHIEFTAIN) on the
primary air control UHF frequency (233.8), alternate air/civilian
aircraft VHF frequency (119.5), or the Range Control FM net (34.70)
4-6 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
for authorization to enter the airspace. Positive two-way
communications with BLACKBURN is required at all times for all
aircraft. Aircraft operations in the SUA are on a VFR concurrent use
basis. Extreme vigilance shall be used as numerous military aircraft
use these areas concurrently. Once in the SUA, the pilot is
responsible for the conduct of the mission, squawking the assigned
transponder code, monitoring the assigned frequency, and remaining
within the approved area of operation. See and avoid other aircraft.
BIG ROCK(Cherry Point) manages aircraft operations in R-5306C and
Hatteras Foxtrot MOA. During FW operations in support of TACP/JTAC
/CAS G-10 operations and transiting/holding/operating in the
Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306C and Hatteras Foxtrot MOA, aircraft
are required to check in/out of Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306C
/Hatteras Foxtrot MOA with BIG ROCK (Cherry Point) Range Control.
After FW aircraft check in, BIG ROCK will switch aircraft to the
appropriate frequency as identified in the SPINS. BIG ROCK will
continue to provide SUA boundary containment/safety-of-flight using
(pre-briefed) CHIEFTAIN/BLACKBURN/JTAC TAD frequencies and UHF Guard.
BIG ROCK will make attempts to coordinate, via landline, with
CHIEFTAIN/BLACKBURN/JTAC whenever safety-of-flight and/or SUA
containment transmissions are forthcoming. Radio discipline and
brevity will be maintained at all times if transmissions are required
by BIG ROCK on CHIEFTAIN/BLACKBURN/JTAC TAD/Guard frequencies. Draft
SPINS must be submitted via email (SPINS attached) to Camp Lejeune
Range Control and BIG ROCK(Cherry Point) Range Control ten (10)
working days prior to the TACP for comments and approval. Final SPINS
and AIR FLOW must be submitted to Camp Lejeune Range Control and BIG
ROCK(Cherry Point) Range Control via email attachment prior to the
BLACKBURN and unit TACP Face-to-Face brief.
d. During TACP exercises, when CHIEFTAIN is co-located with the
EWTGLANT Air Officer at OP-2/OP-3/OP-5/OP-14, participating aircraft
will be directed after check-in to switch from CHIEFTAIN’S frequency
to a Tactical Air Delivery (TAD) frequency. BIG ROCK and CHIEFTAIN
(via the EWTGLANT Air Officer) will also monitor the two TAD
frequencies and provide time-critical safety of flight advisories
directly over the TAD net or Guard as required. This positive two-way
communication alleviates the requirement for participating aircraft to
directly monitor Range Control frequency during TACP exercises.
e. During designated evolutions, the DASC will perform the
BLACKBURN function along with the doctrinal DASC role. DASC will
utilize the call sign CHIEFTAIN and utilize the same frequencies as
those assigned to BLACKBURN. If the DASC cannot maintain control of
the assigned airspace due to communications problems or any other
reason, BLACKBURN will immediately assume all control functions.
BLACKBURN retains overarching control of assigned airspace regardless
of the DASC assuming this role. For the purpose of this chapter,
BLACKBURN will be utilized to indicate the agency performing range
control functions within assigned RTA.

g. Aircraft shall be advised of and deconflicted with GPs, live
ranges, and indirect fire Gun Target Lines (GTLs). To safely allow
concurrent air operations and indirect firing, aircraft shall not
approach CLOSER THAN 1000 meters from GTLs. Pilots must be familiar
with all Artillery GPs and MPs.
h. Minimum altitude for aircraft flying over all civilian
residential areas, to include mainside housing areas is, 1000 ft. AGL.
i. Aircraft will not fly directly over the ASP area, lower than
1000 ft. MSL. The ASP is located just west of the G-10 Impact Area at
grid 880-355.
j. All aircraft will maintain a five nm radius (unless otherwise
NOTAMed) from parachute operations at all times.
k. Over-flights of the G-10, K-2, and N-l/BT-3 Impact areas are
prohibited during live firing operations unless the aircraft is above
the minimum altitude prescribed, involved in the exercise, and
directed by BLACKBURN/CHIEFTAIN.
l. Fixed-wing aircraft (all types) are not authorized to enter
the Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5303 A/B/C and Restricted Area
(Airspace) R-5304 A/B/C Airspace (GSRA) when the airspace is
activated. When the airspace defined by Restricted Area (Airspace)
R-5303 A/B/C or Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5304 A/B/C Airspace
(GSRA) is not activated, an ATC agency is the appropriate service
agency and aircrews will be instructed to contact ATC. If an aircraft
calls BLACKBURN for routing when these areas are not activated,
BLACKBURN will collect usage data and coordinate a switch to ATC.
When departing the area aircraft will contact BLACKBURN with range
usage data. After coordination with ATC, ATC may desire the aircraft
to stay with BLACKBURN.

m. A NOTAM is required for both fixed and rotary-wing PARAOPs in
the GSRA. Timely scheduling through RFMSS no later than five working
days prior to the first day of the month the event is scheduled in
will allow Range Control to include the event on its monthly NOTAM
request to MCAS Cherry Point. If the event is scheduled less than
five days prior to the end of the month, it is the unit’s
responsibility to request a NOTAM within the NET 72 hours and NLT 24
hours.
n. SUAs Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5303/5304 may be subdivided
and de-activated to support fixed-wing operations and aircraft
recovery efforts to MCAS New River.
o. When Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306D/E SUA(s) are under
BLACKBURN control, no more than one section (two aircraft) of fixed-
wing, high-performance jet aircraft, CAS or Simulated CAS (SIMCAS)
will be allowed into the restricted airspace(s) at any one time. When
a DASC (CHIEFTAIN) has control of the airspace, quantities of aircraft
are limited by DASC capabilities.
p. Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1 display the air control points used
by BLACKBURN for aircraft utilizing Camp Lejeune ranges and impact
areas. Rotary-wing aircraft may request routing between air control
points using the terms “RED LINE” for roads, “BLUE LINE” for the New
River and AIWW, and “FEET WET” when flying over the Onslow Bay
/Atlantic Ocean. BLACKBURN will brief HOTranges within 500 meters
either side of the requested route
q. SIMCAS is authorized in the Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306D
and Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5306E for fixed-wing aircraft and all
restricted airspace for helicopter and tiltrotor Aircraft. Aircraft
conducting SIMCAS in support of the ground units shall maintain
positive two-way communications with the terminal controller who, in
turn, will have positive two-way communications with BLACKBURN or the
tactical agency. SIMCAS aircraft shall adhere to the boundaries
established to integrate SIMCAS simultaneous with other air operations
refer to Annex N (Offensive Air Support Appendix) of the Operation
Plan and the Pilot-Controller Handbook for each specific exercise.
Aircraft involved in SIMCAS can have inert/captive carrying ordnance
items on the aircraft.
r. When departing Camp Lejeune SUA, aircraft must contact
BLACKBURN or the tactical agency to check out.

s. Aircraft malfunctions, mishaps, emergencies, near misses, or
precautionary landings shall be reported to BLACKBURN when it is safe
to do so (aviate, navigate, and communicate). The RCO or RCOO shall
be notified immediately and an incident report and other appropriate
reports such as HAZMAT spill will be created.
4. Coordination and Control
a. Aircraft and Terminal Controllers
(1) Aircraft participating in live firing operations, bombing,
CAS (live or simulated), or combined air-ground exercises require
positive control by a FAC, FAC(A), or JTAC. FAC/JTAC and DZ/LZ
control officers have the same responsibilities as an ROIC/RSO of
firing units. SIMCAS only requires one (1) person (FAC/JTAC present.
Chapters 2, 3, and information in Appendix I paragraphs discussing
ROIC and RSO of this Order apply.
(2) For units involved in training exercises (e.g. COMPTUEX,
CERTEX, JTFEX, Major Joint or Combined Exercises), the unit Air
Officer/FAC must meet with Range Control at least 10 days prior to the
exercise to discuss air operations, use of FAC/JTAC, FAC(A)s, DASC or
the tactical agency, and determine and resolve conflicts. Unit must
provide Range Control/BLACKBURN a copy of the Air Tasking Order/SPINS
10 working days in advance of the exercise to verify scheduled events.
Unit must provide updates to the Air Tasking Order/SPINS as required.
(3) FAC/JTAC are required to conduct a Face-to-Face brief with
Range Control and BLACKBURN, (Building 54) before the scheduled event.
FAC(A)s will receive the Range Safety Brief upon entering MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ restricted airspaces.
(4) FAC/JTAC
(a) Any air operation involving aircraft live firing or
bombing CAS or combined air/ground exercises requires positive control
of aircraft by a FAC/JTAC. The FAC/JTAC may be on the ground or a
FAC(A). The term FAC (ground or airborne) is used synonymously with
the terms JTAC and ROIC of firing regarding these safety regulations
for the rest of this publication.
(b) FAC and tactical agency (CHIEFTAIN) are required to
report to the BLACKBURN for the range Face-toFace checkout briefing.
(c) The FAC will notify BLACKBURN immediately after the
last aircraft has cleared the area so the temporary fire suspension
may be lifted for ground units, if in effect.
(d) The FAC (if employed on the ground), will be
positioned to see the aircraft and the target.

call for assistance at (910) 451-1240.
(d) Lead Instructor Pilot (FAC and ROIC/RSO-qualified) for
flight will be ROIC. The RSO (ROIC/RSO qualified) can be a squadron
pilot. FAC-qualified is desired but not required. RSO can be E-6 or
above if JTAC-qualified. RSO will be on the ground in an OP and have
communications with BLACKBURN and the flight. RSO maintains target
clearance. If lasers are used, the Range Laser Safety Officer (RLSO)
qualified person can be on the ground or in the air and be ROIC or
RSO.
(e) ROIC must attend a Face-to-Face brief with BLACKBURN
the day prior at Range Control. ROIC will give a copy of the SPINS to
BLACKBURN/Range Control. The SPINS must have ordnance
type/DODIC/NALC.
(f) Execution. RSO signs for ranges/OP and receives Face-
to-Face brief with BLACKBURN. RSO checks in from OP with BLACKBURN
via normal procedures and receives a HOT range brief. Flight checks
in with BLACKBURN and receives a HOT range brief and confirms number
of aircraft and ordnance. RSO has communications with BLACKBURN and
the flight (Squadron Common). Flight conducts range sweep (over
flight) of target area and Holding Areas (HAs)/Battle Positions (BPs)
being used. RSO and ROIC receive clearance from BLACKBURN to go
HOT. Flight conducts training on squadron common tactical frequency
and monitors BLACKBURN throughout training in the event of check fire,
emergency, etc.
(g) Flight lead Instructor Pilot (ROIC) and RSO on the
ground are responsible for the safe conduct of fires on the range,
adherence to range SDZs/WDZs, and this Order.

(h) Upon completion of the training event, the flight will
check out with BLACKBURN. ROIC or RSO will report ordnance expended
by DODIC/NALC, type and number of aircraft, number of personnel
trained, and request to go COLD. RSO will coordinate with BLACKBURN
for a range inspection of the OP.
(6) All aircraft shall contact the BLACKBURN or the tactical
agency to receive a range brief and authorization to enter the
airspace. BLACKBURN shall direct aircraft to switch to the FAC/JTAC
upon entering the restricted airspace. If communications cannot be
established, the pilot shall immediately contact BLACKBURN for
assistance and further instructions.
(7) Minimum altitude for fixed-wing operations inside the
restricted area is 3000 ft. AGL (coordinating altitude). Fixed-wing
operations below 3000 ft. AGL coordinating altitude (i.e., strafing
runs/low-altitude ingress) are authorized when deconflicted from
rotary-wing operations with lateral and altitude separation.
Helicopter and tiltrotor aircraft shall not exceed 2000 ft. AGL when
fixed-wing aircraft are operating in the Restricted Area (Airspace) R-
5306D/E. Minimum coordinating altitude for rotary-wing when fixed-
wing is on station is 500 ft. AGL. Fixed-wing aircraft shall not fly
over occupied BPs and HAs. The minimum altitude for fixed-wing

(4) Name, grade, organization, and present location of caller
and telephone number; and
c. Units or personnel involved in emergency rescue operations
must ensure live-fire in that area has ceased before entering the
mishap site area.
d. Range Control will call “CEASE-FIRE” on all RTAs that affect
the mishap site. Clearance from Range Control will then be given for
the rescue party to access the mishap site area.
e. Firing will not resume until the rescue has been completed and
all personnel and equipment have been accounted for.
f. Tactical Airspace Control Agencies
(1) The DASC is the principal tactical agency responsible for
the direction of air operations directly supporting ground forces.
The role of the DASC is to provide the means to process immediate air
support requests, coordinate aircraft employment with other supporting
arms, manage terminal control assets supporting ground combat and
combat service support forces, and control assigned aircraft and
itinerant aircraft transiting through its area of responsibility (MCWP
3-25.5 Direct Air Support Center Handbook). The DASC ROIC/RSO will
have the same responsibilities as a ROIC/RSO of a firing unit. The
DASC must have a minimum of two DASC trained ROIC/RSO qualified
personnel on duty per this Order; a second set of eyes and ears to
prevent mistakes. Training/familiarization of new DASC personnel with
BLACKBURN is encouraged and can be arranged by contacting Range
Control.
(2) During selected training exercises, the DASC is normally
the primary tactical agency responsible for the control and
coordination of the restricted airspace. Other tactical agencies such
as Air Support Elements, Tactical Air Control Squadrons, or Airborne
Airspace Control Platforms (E2C Hawkeye) may be authorized to control
and coordinate the restricted airspace.
(3) The DASC (or other approved tactical agency) will maintain
positive two-way communications with BLACKBURN by radio on the range
safety net (34.70). Two radios are required: primary and backup. If
the tactical agency is unable to maintain two-way communications with
BLACKBURN, the tactical agency will relinquish control and instruct

all aircraft to contact BLACKBURN on primary air control UHF frequency
(233.8), alternate air control/civilian aircraft VHF frequency
(119.5), or the Range Control net (34.70 FM).
(4) When the DASC (or other approved tactical agency) has
control of the restricted airspace, it shall exercise procedural
control over all aircraft within the restricted airspace. Other
control agencies may exercise positive or procedural control based on
controlling capabilities. The following procedures apply:
(a) The tactical agency has the same responsibilities as
BLACKBURN for airspace control and coordination.
(b) When the tactical agency has control of the restricted
airspace, multiple fixed-wing sections are authorized, as long as
positive two-way communication is established with all participating
flights on the Radio In and Outfrequency assigned for the exercise.
(c) Prior to entering the restricted airspace, all
aircraft shall contact the tactical agency to receive a range safety
brief and authorization to enter the airspace. All aircraft will
check-in with call sign, number of aircraft, position, requested
routing and destination. Exercise aircraft will add their mission
event number with any exceptions.
(d) The tactical agency shall switch the aircraft to their
terminal controller, at which time the provisions of paragraph
3.
Coordination
a
nd
Control
apply.
(e) CAS aircraft operating over any impact area on the
installation must have positive two-way communication with the
tactical controller who, in turn, must have positive two-way
communications with the tactical agency on a BLACKBURN frequency.
(f) Upon mission completion, when released from the
terminal controller, the pilot shall contact the tactical agency
before exiting the restricted airspace. The FAC/JTAC conducting the
event will provide the number of personnel trained and number of
rounds/rockets/missiles/bombs expended by DODIC. The FAC/JTAC must
obtain this information from the pilots before the aircraft departs.
(g) Helicopter and tiltrotor aircraft will contact the
tactical agency as soon as possible after lifting from each LZ.

(h) Additional IPs, altitudes, attack headings, and
offsets may be approved by Range Control/BLACKBURN and delineated in
appropriate Exercise Operations Plans/Pilot Controller Handbook.
(i) Types I, II, and III CAS events are authorized in this
facility, per the current JCAS Manual. All restrictions must be read
back to terminal controller by aircrew from each attacking aircraft.
All attacks must comply with individual target set restrictions listed
in the following paragraphs below. Additionally, for Type II and Type
III operations on Camp Lejeune, each attack requires an inbound
heading call (in degrees).
1. SRRs for CAS Types II and III attack profiles with
munition combinations for target sets will be submitted to Range
Control for approval. New profiles require a Face-to-Face brief with
the RSS using the WDZ tool to receive approval. As profiles are
approved, a list will be maintained for future training events.
Contact Range Control for the current approved list.
2. For Type II and III attacks, FAC/JTAC shall
confirm aircraft’s navigation system accuracy with aircrew prior to
commencing the attack.
(5) The tactical agency ROICs and RSOs shall conduct a Face-
to-Face brief with Range Control/BLACKBURN the day prior to
commencement of any exercise involving the use of an agency in the
restricted airspace. This brief shall provide an update of the range
regulations, procedures as well as the current status of ranges, and
current copy of SPINS to be used.
(6) Once the tactical agency has received control of the
restricted airspace from Range Control/BLACKBURN, they shall retain
control responsibility until completion of the exercise. BLACKBURN
retains authority to take back the airspace at any time in the event
of an emergency or as deemed necessary.
(7) The tactical agency shall be granted divert authority over
all helicopter and tiltrotor aircraft operating in the Camp Lejeune
area for the conduct of actual MEDEVACs from units in the field. The
unit requesting the MEDEVAC/CASEVAC shall contact BLACKBURN on 233.8
UHF, 119.5 VHF, 34.70 FM, or any other available means and provide the
following:
(a) Pick up coordinates;
(b) Number of personnel injured;

(2) All single ship aircraft and the last aircraft within a
flight shall have overt position and anti-collision lights on.
(3) While conducting LZ operations, it is authorized, when at
the discretion of the aircraft commander/flight leader safety of
flight conditions exist, for a single ship and/or the last aircraft
within a flight to secure the overt position and anti-collision lights
below 200 feet AGL.
(4) During periods of daytime low visibility, flights must
operate position or anti-collision lights to prevent collision and
provide other aircraft the opportunity see-and-avoid.
(5) Aircraft flying at night without night vision devices will
operate overt position and anti-collision lights. Unaided aircraft
shall announce over BLACKBURN that they are unaided.
(6) Aircraft flying outside the Camp Lejeune Range Complex,
refer to FAA lighting exemption 8028C and reference (z) for lighting.
i. Helicopter and tiltrotor live firing shall engage targets near
the center of the impact area. Helicopter and tiltrotor aircraft
shall have positive target identification prior to engagement.
Aircraft which use lateral weapon engagements shall be routed so as to
present minimal hazard to ground troops. See Appendix B of this Order
for routes, headings, BPs, and HAs when using G-10, K-2, and N-1/BT-3
impact areas. See the Range Cards for use of G-10 UCAS procedures.
j. External lifts are not authorized from ALZs (except ALZ-22).
Aircraft with external cargo shall not fly over improved roads, built-
up areas on Camp Lejeune, or over the trailer park at center grid
800285 when transiting the New River (Blue Line). Contact BLACKBURN
immediately in the event cargo is accidentally dropped, giving the
grid coordinates and type of cargo dropped.
7.
Helicopter/Tiltrotor Landing Zones
a.
TLZs. All TLZs must be scheduled whenever troops are in the
TLZ; external lifts, rappelling, fast rope, SPIE Rig training, troop
lifts, etc. Scheduling all TLZ use is encouraged for availability and
to track usage. Pilots may conduct unscheduled rotary-wing confined
area landing and takeoff operations into TLZs only after authorization
is granted by BLACKBURN and the pilot ensures, by overflight,
referenced as a “Cold Pass,” that the TLZ is not occupied. When a TLZ
is used for troop lifts, a LZ Control Officer (Sgt or above) shall be
established and will maintain communications with BLACKBURN.

b. Use of DZs on the west side of the New River must also be
coordinated in advance by the using unit with MCAS, New River
Operations and the Tower (360.2 UHF or 120.0 VHF).
11. Unmanned Aircraft System Operations
a. According to current FAA regulations, UAS operations must be
conducted within Restricted or Warning Areas or as designated
in the
National Airspace with an approved Certificate of
Authorization (COA)
or Waiver. Due to this restriction, UAS
operations cannot originate
from TLZs Cardinal, Condor, Eagle,
Parrot, Vulture, Phoenix, Swallow,
Pheasant, Duck, or Bat and Emu at Oak Grove without an approved FAA
COA or Waiver. UAS operations are permitted in the GSRA Restricted
Area with the exception of the Holly Ridge and Sky Manor airport
exclusion areas. Once airborne, UASs cannot depart the Restricted
Area except under special circumstances that have been coordinated
with the FAA and ATC. All UAS operations will be conducted in
accordance with reference (a) and this Order which provide
institutional range safety guidance and direction for units training
with and/or testing UASs on operational training ranges. Reference
(a) can be found on the RCD website.
b. TLZ Bluebird has a UAS Runway Facility (hard packed gravel
runway) designed for the larger UASs like the Shadow and Fire Scout.
This facility was designed to meet the requirements for UASs that need
a runway to take off and land on. Units with larger UASs that need
this facility to operate at Camp Lejeune are required to schedule it
in RFMSS.
c. Preplanned and available for scheduling, Restricted Operating
Zones (ROZs) exist as the primary airspace for UAS operations, (see
Table 4-9 and Range Control website). When launching and/or
recovering from within Camp Lejeune airspace, a Launch and Recovery
Site (LRS) for the Ground Control Station (GCS) must be reserved in
4-25 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

Table 4-9--Camp Lejeune SUAs ROZs
Note. LRS Sites are for UAS employment. Group 2-5 UAS may
launch/recover from inside the ROZ or transit to the ROZ from a remote
LRS site.
d. UAS operations will be scheduled in accordance with Chapter 3
along with the following considerations.
4-26 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(1) All ROZs are listed in RFMSS for scheduling to allow units
to use a 2-week calendar to identify if there are any conflicts. ROZs
are represented on a portion of the Camp Lejeune map and can be viewed
on the RCD website. Temporary ROZs will be coordinated with and
approved by Range Control. Group 2 and larger UASs may have more than
one ROZ and work between them as BLACKBURN can deconflict. The
launch/recovery site is a normally a TLZ within the ROZ. Group 2 and
larger UASs originating and/or terminating outside of Camp Lejeune
Restricted Areas shall coordinate an entry/exit point and routing to
and from a ROZ via RFMSS. The minimum acceptable separation between
manned and unmanned aircraft is 1000ft vertically and 1000 meters
laterally. Deconfliction with other training units is the main reason
ROZs are established in RFMSS and published. All scheduled ROZs will
appear on the Daily RFWO with altitudes so aviation training units can
brief and avoid them. Deconfliction may be required prior to Range
Scheduling approval. Deconfliction e-mails will be submitted to
(2) Group 2 and larger UASs shall have the ability to load a
programed flight plan, which the unmanned aircraft will execute
autonomously should the control link be lost. This flight plan can be
adjusted in flight, after coordinating with BLACKBURN, should it be
necessary. The basic plan shall always begin with the unmanned
aircraft holding its present position within a ROZ for 30 minutes, and
then proceeding directly to either the scheduled Divert Pattern or
preplanned exit point, as required. BLACKBURN shall be notified
immediately if the up/down link is lost with the unmanned aircraft for
more than five minutes to be able to clear the flight plan route.
These five minutes will allow the UAS pilot time to reacquire the
unmanned aircraft while leaving an additional 25 minutes for BLACKBURN
to clear airspace.
(3) If a UAS unit is controlling a Group 2 and larger UAS from
outside Camp Lejeune airspace desires to place a control station on
Camp Lejeune, this location must be scheduled in the original RFMSS
request. The UAS unit must comply with the check-in/out procedures
and ROIC/RSO requirements of this Order.
e. ROIC and RSO
(1) COs of the UAS units shall designate certified and
qualified Mission Commanders, Unmanned Aircraft Commanders, UAS system
operators, and Pilots/UAS Operators on their CO’s Certification Letter
(unit training) who will be responsible for the overall conduct and
safety of UAS
operations. The
Mission Commander/Unmanned Aircraft
Commander is the ROIC and shall be knowledgeable and experienced on
UAS operations, of the grade of E-6 or above, and has a current Camp
Lejeune ROIC/RSO Safety Card to sign out the event/facility.
4-27 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(2) The Mission Commander/Unmanned Aircraft shall assume all
ROIC responsibilities listed in Chapter 1 of this Order for scheduled
UAS flight operations.
(3) If a unit is undergoing initial qualification training for
a UAS from a contractor while launching and/or recovering from Camp
Lejeune, the unit will provide the ROIC and the contractor will
provide a Camp Lejeune trained RSO. Contractors cannot be a ROIC.
(4) Group 2 and larger UASs operating from a LRS on Camp
Lejeune are required to comply with the same ROIC requirements as
Group 1 UAS but must also have an RSO.
(5) Use of lasers from UAS shall be in accordance with Chapter
7 of this Order.
f. Pre-flight Preparations
(1) Prior to conducting UAS operations the following
information needs to be made available to BLACKBURN upon request:
(a) ROIC and RSO POC information;
(b) Location of the GCS, Portable Control Station (PCS),
and LRS;
(c) UAS type and mission (e.g., IQT, currency flying, test
flight, training flight, flight in support of, etc.);
(d) Hours of operation;
(e) ROZ(s) and altitude block within ROZs for flight
operations;
(f) Intended UAS route (if applicable);
(g) Transponder code (if equipped);
(h) Review Emergency/Down UAS and lost link procedures;
and
(i) Any other pertinent information on the conduct of the
flight.
4-28 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(2) All UAS flights in the Camp Lejeune restricted areas
require a ROIC and pilot/operator. The ROIC is responsible for the
overall safe operation of the UAS and serves as a direct liaison with
Range Control. Group 2 and larger UASs also require an RSO and a
pilot/operator at the location it is being controlled from, whether it
is offsite or at Camp Lejeune.
(a) For all Group 1 flights or Group 2 and larger
operations utilizing an LRS on Camp Lejeune, the ROIC must be
physically present at the LRS. The ROIC shall establish
communications with BLACKBURN on 34.70 FM (Primary), 40.10 FM
(Alternate) or phone (910) 451-3064 prior to conducting flight
operations.
(b) For Group 2 and larger flights controlled from an
external site, the ROIC will also be located at Camp Lejeune. The
ROIC will maintain communications with BLACKBURN and RSO and
pilot/operator.
(3) Group 2 and larger UAS shall establish and maintain
communications with Range Control (BLACKBURN/CHIEFTAIN) on the Air
Safety Control Net (233.8 UHF) prior to entry into Camp Lejeune
restricted airspace. All Group 2 and larger UASs shall have an
operable IFF transponder capable of Mode 3C operation.
g. Weather Minimums
(1) Group 1 weather minimums for all UAS operations are 500
ft. and 1.5 miles visibility.
(2) Group 2 and larger take-off weather minimums for pattern
work are 1000 ft. ceiling and three statute miles visibility. Group 2
and larger weather minimums for all other UAS operations in the
restricted areas are 3000 ft. ceiling and three statute miles
visibility.

(1) Aircraft weapon systems will be loaded or unloaded only in
approved areas. Selection of these areas will ensure total
containment in the event of accidental discharge. The weapon systems
dispersion angle and maximum range will be considered if natural or
manmade barriers are not used.
(2) Airspace routing used by rotary-wing aircraft flying from
the ammunition loading site to and from the firing range will be
plotted on a map or chart and maintained by both the using unit and
the Installation range control office. This course will be selected
so that accidental firing at any point on the course will minimize
risk to life and property, however, aircraft weapon systems will be
maintained in a safe condition until within the range boundary.
4-36 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
Rotary-wing aircraft routing from the ammunition loading site to the
firing range will be published in local SOPs.
(3) When training requirements dictate, commanders (battalion,
squadron, or higher) will direct the loading and unloading of
ammunition from aircraft while the engines are running. Such
operations are authorized when a thorough risk assessment has been
conducted, control measures implemented and residual risks identified
and accepted by the appropriate commander.
(4) A dry pass or range sweep for the entire range, focusing
on the target area, will be accomplished to ensure personnel are clear
from hazardous effects. Aircraft may use onboard sensors (advance
targeting pods, sniper, Litening Pod), or UAS targeting payload in
lieu of a dry pass. Terminal controllers observing the target area
may waive the dry pass.
(5) Prior to first weapons release/firing for each pass, final
switch configuration will not be accomplished until the aircraft is in
such a position that accidental activation or release will be
contained within the range, and not represent a danger to ground
personnel.
15. Chaff and Flare Training
a. Chaff/flare training is not authorized in the GSRA or the K-2
impact area. Chaff and flares are authorized in the G-10 impact area
and flares only if they burn out before hitting the water in N-1/BT-3
impact area. Chaff/flare operations must be properly scheduled in
RFMSS and a SRR is submitted within 10 working days of the event. Two
critical factors need to be considered; wind direction and current
fire condition. Units must submit a SRR, per Appendix E. The SRR
process will allow Range Control to:
(1) Notify local FAA authorities;
(2) Provide public notice as necessary; and
(3) Notify Fire Protection and Forestry in order to allow for
appropriate safety measures.
b. Flares are never authorized during Fire Condition 5 or higher.
Other fire hazard conditions may restrict/modify flare use throughout
the Camp Lejeune Range Complex.
c. Training units must monitor wind speeds and directions to
ensure chaff fiber or flare debris does not migrate out of the G-10
impact area and possible off-base, into the ASP, or Fuel Farm on the
western side

Landing Helicopter
Deck
a.
The LHD Deck was designed to resemble a Wasp Class LHD to allow
pilots to meet their required Field Carrier Landing Practice (FCLP),
approaches and landings, prior to going to a ship. The LHD Deck has
four lighted spots with the same dimensions as spots 2, 4, 5, and 6 on
the Wasp Class LHD, 114.5 ft. between spots. Total LHD Deck length is
495 ft. and width is 62 ft. (width to center line of Wasp Class LHD).
b. The LHD Deck has Pilot Activated Lighting System to activate
the deck lighting system similar to an uncontrolled airfield. To
activate the deck lights use the following procedures.
(1) Pilot turns tactical radio to 30.55 FM.
(2) Pilot depresses mike button three times to turn on landing
lights to low intensity.
(3) Pilot depresses mike button five time times to turn on
landing lights to medium intensity.
(4) Pilot depresses mike button seven times to turn on landing
lights to high intensity.
(5) Lights will stay on for 15 minutes.
(6) The same desired number of button depressions will
reactivate the lights as needed.
c. LHD Deck Maintenance. Periodic scheduled maintenance of the
LHD Deck will occur on the first Wednesday of every month. Duration
of inspection depends on whether it is for a monthly (two hours),
semi-annual (four hours), or annual (six hours) inspection.
Unscheduled maintenance will occasionally occur when immediate repair
is necessary for safe use of the LHD Deck. It is incumbent on all
using units to report any damage or inoperable lights to Range
Control/BLACKBURN as soon as possible to maintain the LHD Deck in a
safe operable condition.
d. The LHD Deck may be scheduled in RFMSS 2-90 days out or NLT 48
hours prior to the training event. When not scheduled, the LHD Deck
will be considered an LZ of opportunity. A SRR is required for
external loads and HRST from the LHD Deck. No special use will be
granted unless prior approval from the RCO by a SRR.
e. The LHD Deck may be scheduled in RFMSS like any other training
facility.
f. When scheduled, BLACKBURN will clear all scheduled aircraft
(either single aircraft or flight lead) into the LHD Deck. When used
4-38 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
as an LZ of opportunity, aircraft will call BLACKBURN and request the
LHD Deck. BLACKBURN will deconflict airspace and clear aircraft into
the LHD Deck.
g. Aircraft shall maintain communications with BLACKBURN while
training at the LHD Deck. Communication between aircraft in the LHD
pattern will be on a frequency other than BLACKBURN.
h. Procedures when aircraft are using the LHD Deck without
Landing Zone Control Officer:
(1) LHD Deck may be scheduled and approved but does not have
to be signed out at Range Control for FCLPs. This is similar to a
reserved TLZ or TA, there are no ROIC or RSO requirements. If
conducting external lifts with an approved SRR, the HST unit must sign
out the LHD Deck similar to using a TLZ for externals.
(2) Aircraft shall check in on UHF 233.8 or FM 34.70 with
BLACKBURN upon entering/exiting the Restricted Area (Airspace) R-
5306D/E airspace and announce operating intentions.
(3) BLACKBURN will advise of other aircraft operations, all
live-fire ranges in a “HOT” status, and all active GPs/MPs.
(4) At the conclusion of training, aircraft will report any
damage or light outage, and the number of aircraft, landings, and
personnel trained.
i. Procedures when aircraft are using the LHD Deck with Zone
Control Officer (simulating ship's Primary-Flight Officer):
(1) LHD Deck requires a ROIC that is certified by the unit CO
to act as Landing Zone Control Officer and annotated in the enclosure
to the Commander Certification Letter. The ROIC shall assume all the
responsibilities and duties as defined in Chapter 1 of this Order. If
Landing Signal Enlisted personnel are used, the unit CO is responsible
for their training as well as certified in the enclosure to Commander
Certification Letter. Lead Instructor Pilot aircraft commander will
assume the RSO responsibilities for the flight but will not have to be
RSO qualified.
(2) LHD Landing Zone Control Officer shall request permission
to for the LHD Deck to go "HOT" from BLACKBURN, on the Range Control
safety net (UHF 233.8 or FM 34.70).
(3) LHD Landing Zone Control Officer shall maintain radio
communications with BLACKBURN during the period the LHD Deck is "HOT"
for training by reporting in on the half hour and hour.
(4) LHD Landing Zone Control Officer shall work aircraft on a
frequency other than the range control safety nets.
4-39 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(5) At the conclusion of training, Landing Zone Control
Officer shall request permission to go "COLD" from BLACKBURN and
report; any damage or light outage, number of aircraft, landings, and
personnel trained. If aircraft use chemical lights in lieu of deck
lighting, the using unit is responsible for removing them to prevent
possible foreign object debris (FOD) damage to engines.
j. Pattern Restrictions
(1) Maximum of two aircraft in LHD pattern. This assumes one
aircraft on deck and one in the downwind. If both aircraft desire to
be on deck at the same time an empty spot will be maintained between
the aircraft. If more than two aircraft are requesting to use the LHD
deck a SRR and ORM matrix mitigating the risk of landing on adjacent
spots will be submitted to Range Control for approval.
(2) Aircraft shall turn to downwind no farther than 1000
meters upwind. The turn to base leg shall be initiated prior to
arriving abeam the Sneads Ferry Bridge.
(3) Maximum pattern altitude is 400 ft.
(4) Aircraft will maintain a 250 meter buffer from Bald Eagle
nesting area (approximately 500 meters SE at grid 803297) when using
the LHD Deck in accordance with Chapter 2 of this Order.

a. General. MCOLF Camp Davis (34
O
31’N/77
O
33’W, grid 18STD 665225)
is an unmanned, uncontrolled airstrip situated in the extreme
southeast corner of the GSRA under the Restricted Area (Airspace) R-
5304 restricted area. The FAA identifier is 14NC. The airfield is
one nm northeast of the town of Holly Ridge and 13 nm south (205
radial) of MCAS New River. The landing areas consist of two separate
numbered, concrete/paved runways. Runway 05/23 (Camp Davis South) is
5000 ft. long by 250 ft. wide. Runway 01/19 (Camp Davis North) is
5047 ft. long by 150 ft. wide. Airfield elevation at MCOLF Camp Davis

also located in the Camp Davis area. The Restricted Area (Airspace)
R-5304A contains a three mile, 1500 ft. AGL exclusionary zone for
Holly Ridge Air Park; a grass strip located east of the town of Holly
Ridge (approximately two nm SE of Camp Davis). This exclusion zone
allows civilian traffic to enter the Camp Davis area below 1500 ft.
whether Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5304A is HOT or COLD. This
exclusion zone is not SUA.
b. Scheduling. The CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5 RCD) is the
scheduling agent for training operations at MCOLF Camp Davis.
4-40 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(1) 2d MAW units, specifically MAG-26 and MAG-29, are the
primary users of Camp Davis runways and TLZs Pheasant, Phoenix,
Swallow, and Duck. The only exceptions are prioritized Joint,
Combined, or MAGTF Exercises.
(2) All aviation air capable units (to include fixed-wing) and
parachute capable units desiring exclusive use of MCOLF Camp Davis
must submit a TAR via RFMSS from two to 90 working days prior to the
requested training date to the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5 RCD).
Requesting units are responsible for meeting and deconflicting 2d MAW
requirements before scheduling the event. TARs must indicate type of
training requested. MAG-26 and MAG-29 will send a deconfliction email
approving use to Range Scheduling.
(3) Any unit requiring exclusive use of Camp Davis must ensure
all issues are deconflicted and the exclusive use requirement is
highlighted and fully justified in their TAR.
(4) The MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ RFWO will include the scheduling
and maintenance status of MCOLF Camp Davis. The monthly NOTAM
request, which includes the GSRA and MCOLF Camp Davis, is prepared and
sent to Cherry Point using RFMSS approved events in accordance with
Chapter 3. If an event is not included in the monthly NOTAM request
to Cherry Point, due to scheduling within 35 days of the date of the
event, the unit is responsible for contacting Cherry Point and
requesting a NOTAM.
(5) All squadrons shall consult the Camp Lejeune Range Control
daily RFWO during flight planning to avoid conflicts. Tenant
squadrons may conduct unscheduled helicopter and tilt-rotor operations
at the Camp Davis airstrip or TLZs Pheasant, Phoenix, Swallow, and
Duck by communicating with BLACKBURN (233.8 UHF). Once authorization
has been granted by BLACKBURN and the pilot has ensured, by “COLD”
pass, that the runway or TLZ requested is not occupied, the training
can be conducted. Upon departure from the Camp Davis area, aircraft
shall notify BLACKBURN of completion of training and what training was
conducted (i.e. number of personnel trained, number of aircraft,
number of landings, etc.).
(6) MCOLF Camp Davis is an uncontrolled airstrip. Pilots are
responsible to see-and-avoid other aircraft and for strict adherence
to the course rules. ATC, ARFF, and ground support services are not
available.
c. Obstructions to Flight. There are multiple towers around
MCOLF Camp Davis:
(1) Two towers within 0.6 nm southeast of the departure end of
Runway 23. One tower is 311 ft. MSL and the other is 364 ft. MSL.
4-41 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(2) One tower is three nm due east of Camp Davis at 1043 ft.
MSL (has extensive support cable network).
(3) One tower is six nm due east of Camp Davis at 829 ft. MSL
(has extensive support cable network).
(4) One tower is 0.7 nm SSE of the departure end of 19 at 300
ft. MSL.
d. Noise Abatement/Avoidance Areas
(1) Pilots shall avoid over flight of residences and livestock
containment areas in the vicinity of Camp Davis and shall adhere to
rules of the road (right side) along U.S. Highway 17 when transiting
between MCAS New River and MCOLF Camp Davis (Avoid over flight of
Dixon Middle and High Schools by 1/2 mile horizontal and 1000 ft.
vertical).
(2) Pilots entering or departing Camp Davis shall remain north
and west of U.S. Highway 17 when within a three nm radius of Camp
Davis to avoid civilian air traffic conflicts and for noise abatement
over the town of Holly Ridge. NOTAMS will advise civilian traffic
when PARAOPS are scheduled.
(3) When FARP operations occur at either Camp Davis North or
South, aircraft using FARP will conform to normal entry and exit
course rules for the runways in use to avoid noise complaintd from the
town of Holly Ridge.
e. Course Rules
(1) The Camp Davis area includes all restricted airspace
within the GSRA boundary south of grid line 25. This area is carved
out of Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5304 for OLF air operations.
BLACKBURN approval to operate in the Camp Davis area equals the
procedural control needed to resolve conflict with Restricted Area
(Airspace) R-5304 activities north of 25 grid line. In effect, from
the Camp Davis operating area all aircrafts will check in and check
out with BLACKBURN. Air Operations responsibilities will always
revert to the aircrew. This resolves aircrew direct communication
need with BLACKBURN once approved to operate in the Camp Davis area.
Conversely, if flight activities require transit north of the 25 grid
line where shooting occurs, BLACKBURN and aircrew must maintain direct
communication. Monitoring BLACKBURN frequency is encouraged for
situational awareness of inbound and outbound traffic while operating
in the Camp Davis area.
(2) Pilots shall remain clear of the Camp Davis area unless
intending to enter for training purposes.
4-42 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

(3) Pilots intending to operate at Camp Davis shall check-in
with BLACKBURN for approval into and out of the Camp Davis area 233.8
(UHF). Pilots will also check-in and monitor traffic on OLF Common on
322.1 (UHF).
(4) The Camp Davis operating area is sub-divided into two
areas by an imaginary line drawn from Highway 17 to the tower
southeast of the approach end of Runway 01. Sub Area Camp Davis North
includes Runways 1/19 and sub-area Camp Davis South includes Runways
5/23. Aircraft shall not cross the dividing line. Pilots desiring to
change sub-areas shall depart and re-enter in accordance with
paragraphs 17e(4)f through 17e(4)(i) below. Pilots conducting
external operations or Confined Area Landings in TLZ Phoenix need to
ensure they remain clear of the Camp Davis South (Runway 5/23) pattern
and maintaining a pattern west of the 66 North/South grid line to
remain clear of the Camp Davis North pattern.
f. Entry Procedures. When approved to enter the Camp Davis area
by BLACKBURN, pilots shall switch to and monitor OLF Common Frequency
322.1 (UHF) for traffic deconfliction. This applies to MV-22s in CONV

altitude shall be broadcasted on OLF common prior to deviation from
normal pattern altitude.
(2) Pilots operating from Runways 05/19 shall make left hand
traffic.
(3) Pilots operating from Runways 23/01 shall make right hand
traffic.
(4) Pilots shall execute the upwind turn when reaching 200 ft.
AGL or at the departure end of the runway whichever comes first.
Pilots shall maneuver their aircraft so as to not cross the line
dividing Camp Davis North and South.
(5) Low work is restricted to the upwind one third of the
runway in use.
(6) No more than four aircraft are permitted in each runway
traffic pattern. No more than eight aircraft shall operate at Camp
Davis area at one time. This applies to aircraft intending to conduct
CALs, Tactical Approaches, and the Emergency Landing Pattern (ELP).
Intent to change traffic pattern will be broadcast via OLF Common.
Course rules changes must be agreed to by all aircraft operating
there.
(7) MV-22s conducting ELPs in the Camp Davis area will comply
with the following procedures:
(a) Contact Cherry Point Approach or New River Arrival
Control for approval to conduct ELP approaches.

at 4,500 ft.and “Base at 2,300 ft.radio calls over OLF Common.
(e) If aircraft conducting the ELP loses sight of other
aircraft in the pattern, an immediate wave off will be executed,
turning away from the last know position of the traffic.
j. Tactical Approaches (straight-in, 90 and 180 degree offsets)
will be conducted between the airfield and five nm, from 300 to 500
ft. AGL. The objective of a MV-22 Tactical Approach is to efficiently
transition an aircraft or a flight from the enroute ingress phase [220
KCAS] to the landing phase (150 ft. AGL/50 Knots Ground Speed [KGS] at
0.2 nm.) of the mission. Tactical Approaches provide training on how,
4-48 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
when, and where to convert and configure the aircraft or flight for
landing following precise navigation to a predetermined Conversion
Point (CVP). The CVP is a designated point relative to the intended
landing area where the conversion is initiated. The initiation of the
conversion begins with the reduction in power with intent for landing.
Each Tactical Approach type will result in the aircraft or flight
being established in a familiar flight profile on short final (e.g.,
150 ft. AGL/50 KGS at 0.2 nm.) to intercept the glide slope to a
runway or TLZ.
k. Ground Training. All units desiring to use any portion of, or
exclusive use of MCOLF Camp Davis for ground operations, must submit a
SRR from 14-45 working days prior to the requested date to the CG
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5 RCD). Requesting unit will coordinate with
MAG-26/MAG-29 operations and II MEF G-7 to deconflict requirements and
approve/disapprove SRR accordingly. MAG-26 and MAG-29 must send
deconfliction emails to Range Scheduling. SRR must indicate exactly
the type of training requested. Using units may also be required to
submit a FEREIR to EMD depending on the type of training activities
being done on the ground.

b. Scheduling. The CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5 RCD) is the
scheduling agent for tactical operations at MCOLF Oak Grove.
(1) 2d MAW units, specifically MAG-26 and MAG-29, are the
primary users of Oak Grove runways, TLZ Bat and TLZ Emu. The only
exceptions are prioritized Joint, Combined, or MAGTF Exercises.
(2) All aviation air units desiring to schedule any portion of
MCOLF Oak Grove must submit a TAR via RFMSS 2-90 working days prior to
the requested training date. Requesting units are responsible for
meeting and deconflicting all 2d MAW requirements before scheduling
the event. TARs must indicate type of training requested. MAG-26 and
MAG-29 will send a deconfliction e-mail approving use to Range
Control, Range Scheduling Section.
(3) Any unit requiring exclusive use of MCOLF Oak Grove must
ensure all conflicts are deconflicted and the exclusive use
requirement is highlighted and fully justified in their TAR.

(4) MCOLF Oak Grove is an uncontrolled airstrip. Pilots are
responsible to see-and-avoid other aircraft and for strict adherence
to the course rules. Airport ATC, ARFF, and ground support services
are not available. However, radar ATC services are available (see
paragraph 18c(4) below).
(5) All squadrons shall consult the Camp Lejeune Range Control
daily RFWO during flight planning to avoid conflicts. Unscheduled
helicopter and tiltrotor operations into MCOLF Oak Grove or TLZs Bat
and Emu can still be deconflicted and accomplished through
communications with BLACKBURN. Currently Communications with aircraft
on the ground and in the pattern at Oak Grove is difficult. Aircraft
shall check in with BLACKBURN on UHF 233.8 while enroute to Oak Grove
and announce operating intentions; BLACKBURN will advise of any other
aircraft or ground operations. Once authorization has been granted by
BLACKBURN and the pilot has ensured by cold pass, the runway or TLZ
requested is not occupied, training can be conducted.
(6) Upon departure from MCOLF Oak Grove, aircraft shall notify
BLACKBURN of completion of training and what training was conducted
(i.e., number of aircraft, number of landings, etc.).
(7) The Camp Lejeune NOTAMS will include the scheduling and
maintenance status of MCOLF Oak Grove.
(8) Obstructions to Flight. There are two tall transmission
towers northwest of Oak Grove. Both towers have an extensive support
cable network. One tower (35

22’W) is 985 ft. MSL and located
5.5 nm west-northwest of the airfield. The other tower (35
O
06’N/77
O
21’W) is 2035 ft. MSL and located 6.5 nm from Oak Grove. Several
other 300 ft. MSL towers are also present 3-5 miles south of the
airfield.
(9) Noise Abatement and Avoidance Areas. Pilots shall avoid
over flight of residences and livestock containment areas and shall
remain clear of the town of Pollocksville (3 miles SE). Aircraft
shall avoid Pollocksville (35

97397582) by one nautical mile (nm) laterally or by flying above the
town at 1,000 ft. AGL.
c. Course Rules. Oak Grove is an unmanned and uncontrolled
airstrip. Pilots operating at MCOLF Oak Grove are responsible to see
and avoid other aircraft and strict adherence to the course rules.
Call BLACKBURN prior to entering the five nm operating radius that
exists around the Oak Grove field boundary. In effect, once inside
the Oak Grove area, air operation responsibilities revert to aircrews.
This resolves aircrew direct communication need with BLACKBURN once
approved to operate in the Oak Grove area. Monitoring BLACKBURN
frequency is encouraged for situational awareness of inbound and
outbound traffic while operating in the Oak Grove area.

(6) No more than four aircraft are allowed in each runway
traffic pattern. No more than eight aircraft shall operate at Oak
Grove Area at one time. This applies to aircraft intending to conduct
CALs, Tactical Approaches, and the Emergency Landing Pattern (ELP).
h. Intent to deviate from course rules will be broadcast via OLF
Common. This also applies to MV-22 aircraft intending to conduct
tactical approaches and ELPs. Course rules changes must be agreed to
by all aircraft operating in the area.
i. Tactical Approaches (straight-in, 90 and 180 degree offsets)
will be conducted between the airfield and five nm, from 300 to 500
ft. AGL. The objective of a MV-22 Tactical Approach is to efficiently
transition an aircraft or a flight from the enroute ingress phase [220
KCAS] to the landing phase (150 ft. AGL/50 knots ground speed [KGS] at
0.2 nm.). Tactical Approaches provide training on how, when, and
where to convert and configure the aircraft or flight for landing
following precise navigation to a predetermined CVP. The CVP is a
designated point relative to the intended landing area where the
conversion is initiated. The initiation of the conversion begins with
the reduction in power with intent for landing. Each Tactical
Approach type will result in the aircraft or flight being established
in a familiar flight profile on short final (e.g., 150 ft. AGL/50 KGS
at 0.2 nm) to intercept the glide slope to a runway or TLZ.
j. MV-22s conducting ELPs in the Oak Grove area will comply with
the following procedures:
(1) Contact Cherry Point ATC prior to commencing climb for
ELPs to ensure airspace is clear of traffic.
(2) ELPs shall not be conducted to the same runway as other
traffic in the pattern.
(3) Have positive two-way communication with other traffic in
the pattern.
(4) Make the appropriate “High Key” at 9000 ft., “Low Key” at
4,500 ft. and “Base” at 2,300 ft. radio call over OLF Common.
(5) If aircraft conducting the ELP lose sight of other
aircraft in the pattern, an immediate wave off will be executed,
turning away from the last know position of the traffic.

facilities are contained within this Order, Range Cards, and the
reference (a).
b. All ranges and firing positions are "Off-Limits" to all
personnel and units except when scheduled properly in RFMSS, listed in
the RFWO (AMHS Message) and signed for by the using unit’s ROIC or
when authorized by the RCO. Requests to conduct live firing on ranges
and GPs/MPs/training facilities/ETAs will be submitted in accordance
with Chapter 3 of this Order.
c. When any live-fire Range, ETA, Artillery GP, MP, OP, or any
other training facility is in a “HOT” status, all personnel must be
wearing Personal Protective Equipment (Level 0, 1, 2, 3) i.e.,
helmets, body armor, hearing, and eye protection with sleeves down
unless specified otherwise in this Order or in the Range Cards. Units
conducting small arms, standard BZO/Zeroing live-fire from a static
position only are not required to wear helmets and body armor if pre-
arranged with Range Control via e-mail. Requests to deviate from this
policy must be submitted via the unit’s chain of command, including
the first General Officer in the chain of command, to the CG MCIEAST-
MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5), at least 30 days in advance of the scheduled
training event.
d. Medical personnel (Unit assigned Corpsman/Medic or approved
civilian EMT) that are properly trained with the proper first-aid
equipment will be present on all ranges, training areas (RTAs), and
training facilities when training is taking place. A safety vehicle
(Government Vehicle) must be located on all RTAs and facilities during
training. Vehicle operators will be familiar with the primary routes
to the nearest medical facility. Any military or GSA vehicle capable
of transporting a casualty or casualties may be utilized as the safety
vehicle. The presence of at least one unit assigned Corpsman/Medic or
other military medical equivalent and one Government safety vehicle is
the minimum requirement. Use of POVs as safety vehicles for training
events is not authorized. Government Rental Vehicles can be used if
assigned/issued a Range Control POV Pass.

working days of the scheduled live-fire event asking to deviate from
the Quiet Hour policy in Chapter 1 of this Order.
k. Before conducting live-fire the ROIC/RSO will inspect weapons
and ammunition for serviceability and inspect each weapon to ensure
there is no obstruction in the bore before firing. The ROIC must plan
for or verify that all weapons are zeroed. Units must ensure all
weapons are cleared onto and off the range through a designated
control point and all weapons are pointing downrange at all times.
The using unit must have a training progression adherence. As an
example “Zero, Static, Movement, Maneuver, Day, and Night.”
l. No running other then what is required for that scheduled
live-fire training event (Fire and Maneuver/Fire and Movement Ranges)
or any horseplay is not permitted on any live-fire range.
m. Anyone observing an unsafe condition during the firing
exercises will call “CEASE FIRE”. When this command is given, it will
be relayed immediately by all members. The ROIC/RSO will investigate
the unsafe condition, take the necessary corrective action, and will

report the correction of the unsafe condition to the ROIC. The ROIC
will resume firing when convinced that the RSO has corrected the
unsafe condition.
2. Establishment of Ranges, Training Facilities
a. Only the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ can establish live-fire ranges
or training facilities. No other individual or organization will
establish new ranges, training facilities, or alter existing ranges or
training facilities except with prior approval of the CG MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ via the RCD and RDMD. This does not preclude units from
placing suitable targets after being granted permission from Range
Control on existing live-fire ranges within the approved SDZ/WDZ for
that range to enhance the target array, assuming all safety
precautions and regulations are observed and Base EOD support is
provided if required. All unit-emplaced targets must be removed upon

b. Units (ROIC/RSO) will report all range maintenance issues and
other problems to Range Control/Range Inspectors and or by filling out
the ICE comment range report at the conclusion of training. Other
requests for repairs of existing training complex facilities can be
submitted by e-mail memorandum to the Director, RCD/Director, RDMD.
c. The ROIC/RSO of the unit at RTAs and training facilities is
responsible for all damage incurred during the scheduled period. If
damage to or poor police call of a RTA is observed upon arrival, the
ROIC/RSO must notify BLACKBURN/Range Inspectors immediately and note
such damage/police problems on the Range Report to be turned into
Range Control. Failure to report damage/poor police problems will be
considered as having assumed responsibilities for all damages/poor
police problems by the using unit.
d. Operation of Ranges
(1) All RTAs and training facilities aboard this Installation
are assigned to the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ. Units that are primary
users of certain ranges inherit no title to those ranges and possess

8. Ranges and Firing Positions
a. Live-fire Ranges are described in detail in the Range Cards,
which can be found on the Range Control website. All dud-producing
ordnance must be fired into one of the two designated impact areas
(G-10, K-2) as described in Appendix B of this Order. Dud-producing
ordnance will not be fired into the N-1/BT-3 (Brown’s Island) impact
area. The only exceptions to this rule are ranges E-1, G-5, and G-7
that by SRR can shoot dud producing ordnance into the N-1/BT-3 impact
area.
b. Vehicular and foot traffic approaches to ranges and impact
areas will be secured by road guards, gates, or barriers during live-
fire operations. Road Guard Maps will be provided at the time the
range is checked out or can be obtained on the Range Control website.
All road guards must be properly instructed in their duties at that
position.
c. Firing may be conducted from alternate positions as long as
such positions remain within the SDZ and all live-fire and the effects
of live-fire are within that approved SDZ and meets all safety
criteria set forth in reference (a), this Order, and the Range Cards.
In such cases, a SRR, including reviewed and signed ORM worksheet,
attached overlays illustrating the proposed SDZ and SOM, and safety
plan will be provided to the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ, via the RCO for
approval 10 working days prior to the first date of the requested
training per Appendix E.
d. Deviations from the reference (a) or this Order and Range
Cards may be authorized for special circumstances. Requests for a
deviation of these orders will follow the format sited in reference
5-7 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(a) (Chapter 3, paragraph 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3). Such deviations must be
approved via the unit’s chain of command up to the CG MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ. All approvals of deviations require the signature of the CG
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ. Annual deviations/SRRs must be resubmitted for
review/approval every year as directed in the approval letter.
Requests/re-submissions for deviations of these orders must be
submitted at least 30 days or more in advance before expiring.
e. Access to all RTAs and training facilities, including tank
trails and perimeter gravel roads, is restricted to authorized
personnel and scheduled in RFMSS events only. Units/indivduals are
not authorized to conduct any running, PT, and hikes/condition
marches/biking unless scheduled properly. The use of POVs within the
RTAs must be pre-approved and have an assigned a Range Control POV
Pass. Violators can be cited if not corrected.
9. Range Signs and Markers
a. The range signs, left and right lateral limit markers provided
on all ranges, MPs, and GPs provide important safety information. If
range signs are damaged/missing the using unit must report it
immediately to BLACKBURN or to a Range Inspector.
b. Surveyed points are placed near the center of all firing
lines, GPs, and MPs. Do not remove, destroy, cover-up any survey
points.
c. Funding, fabrication, and installation of range signs and
markers are the responsibilities of the RDMD.
d. Lateral Limits. Direct live-fire ranges include lateral limit
markers. Lateral Limit Markers are not to be used as targets.

precautionary measures will be posted on certain ranges as deemed
necessary by the RCO.
5-8 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
10. Communications
a. Training units must maintain two means of communication
between the unit and BLACKBURN (Range Control) for all training being
conducted on this Installation. Radio is the primary means of
communication with BLACKBURN (34.70 FM/233.8 Air). Range Control
retransmission/repeater frequency is 40.10 for west side of the New
River and 38.85 for the east side of New River. If a landline
telephone is available on the range, it can be used as the secondary
means of communication if working properly both ways. Cellular Phones
are only authorized as the alternate means of communication with
BLACKBURN after verifying that both links work/functional.
b. If a unit fails to maintain the required communications,
BLACKBURN will place that unit in a “CHECK-FIRE” status until
satisfactory communications are reestablished and maintained by that
unit. If a unit cannot maintain satisfactory communications,
BLACKBURN will place that unit "COLD" for the remainder of the day and
will so notify the RCOO/RSO of the action taken.
c. The responsibility for proper communication with BLACKBURN
rests with the unit, the unit commander, and the ROIC/RSO. Range
Control will not issue communication gear (radios) to using units
aboard Camp Lejeune. The Range Control frequency will “NOT” be used
for unit administrative or tactical traffic.
d. Emergency Procedures. During any MEDEVAC/CASEVAC, all other
units will be directed by BLACKBURN to suspend radio checks until the
situation is resolved with the unit having the emergency/situation.
All units will continue to monitor the range safety/control net as
required. Training may continue unless BLACKBURN issues a "CHECK-
FIRE" order to all other firing/training units. Units will render
assistance as requested by BLACKBURN and the unit if required.
Further guidance on MEDEVAC/CASEVAC can be found in
Chapter 1 of this
Order.
e. Units conducting non-live-fire in TAs must check in at the
beginning of all training and at the completion of all training.
Mandatory radio checks must be completed while in a TA, training
facility when training is started and when completed and also at the
following times at 0600, 1400, and 2200 daily while conducting non-
live-fire training. Units are required to conduct radio checks with
BLACKBURN, and must monitor the Range Control/BLACKBURN net, 34.70 FM,
for safety purposes at all times. Simunitions (9mm/5.56mm SESAMS)
training, all lasers training, and other high risk training are
treated the same as live-fire training and radio checks are required
every thirty minutes on the hour and the half-hour.
5-9 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
11. Safety Equipment
a. COs must conduct an ORM Assessment/Worksheet and implement the
proper safety procedures to mitigate all safety concerns not addressed
by higher authority, such as reference (a). Units are required to
have a copy of the reviewed, signed, and approved ORM Worksheet
onsite/on the range for that scheduled RTA or training facility for
high-risk events.
b. A red range flag or red flashing lights which the using unit
must provide (for night firing) must be displayed from range flag
poles and light poles when the live-fire range goes “HOT”. If any of
these items are taken down, the unit will cease firing until they are
replaced.
c. Red smoke grenades and red pyrotechnics will only be used as
emergency signaling devices. These safety devices are not a
requirement for live-fire training at Camp Lejeune but are highly
recommended for live-fire and movement/maneuver type training events
aboard Camp Lejeune.
d. All forward observers/tower guards and air sentries will use
binoculars when observing airspace and navigable waters to include the
ocean. At night; night vision devices will need to be on-hand and
used by the using unit to ensure the SDZ/WDZ are clear.
12. Face-to-Face Briefs
a. The following events/ranges require a Face-to-Face brief with
Range Control/BLACKBURN or the RSS:
(1) Range G-6 CBC (With RSS)
(2) Control of Airspace (Restricted Area (Airspace)
R-5306D/E, Restricted Area (Airspace) R-5304/Restricted Area
(Airspace) R-5303) by DASC.
(3) All CAS missions (including SIMCAS)
(4) ALL Lyman Road Closures (AV-8B Ops)
(5) FARP Operations (With RC Operations Officer)
(6) G-10 Helo/Fixed-wing Operations TACPs (LF/NLF)
(7) MAC-3 (RSS)
(8) CAPEX/VIPEX and other large special events

(9) All Hikes (Checklist Required) (With Range Control
Operations Chief).
(10) Training on Onslow Beach (EB TA) (Beach Checklist
Required) (With Range Control Operations Chief).
(11) Other ranges/activities as required or directed.
b. All Face-to-Face briefs will occur at BLACKBURN right after the
RTA or facility is checked out. The RTA or facility must be checked
out NLT 1200 the day prior (Monday-Thursday) to the first day of the
planned event. Contact BLACKBURN for larger range activities
(EWTGLANT TACP, CAPEX, MEU Events, Unit FSCEXs/TACPs, etc.) at (910)
451-3064 to schedule a brief. In the case of non-live-fire venues,
Site Managers will provide training data directly to BLACKBURN at the
completion of training.
13. Utilization Reporting
a. Accurate utilization data is critical to all DoD installations
and is frequently used as a means to justify funding for new,
improved, or enhanced ranges and training facilities.
b. Training units (ROIC/RSO) must report range usage data such as
number of personnel trained and ammunition expended by DODIC to
include all blanks/smoke/pyrotechnics type devices when calling into
BLACKBURN to secure from the RTAs and facilities. If a live-fire
training event takes place past midnight (2400) into another day
(0001) the using unit must report each training day data separately so
the BLACKBURN can close out that days usage data.
c. Training units will report TA usage to include any blanks,
pyrotechnics, any other training device assigned a DODIC number and
other training devices assigned a DODIC expended in that TA by
reporting occupation of and departure from TAs. This must be done by
VHF radio (or range phone if available) to BLACKBURN.
d. WTBn Stone Bay, II MEF, EOTG, and MSOS/MARSOC units are
responsible for the daily scheduling of their ranges into RFMSS and
reporting the utilization of those ranges, to include the number of
personnel trained and type/DODIC/quantity of ammunition fired to
BLACKBURN as required.
e. To record training conducted aboard Camp Lejeune by non-tenant
units, the hosting tenant command must report the required information
to Range Control. Host units that schedule RTAs or facilities for
non-tenants can annotate the RFMSS comments section to identify the
non-tenant unit. This information can also be passed to Range Control
5-11 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
by electronic means. Non-tenant units include active DoD units not
stationed aboard MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ, non-tenant USCG units, reserve
and National Guard units, units from foreign countries, local, and
national law enforcement agencies, civic or fraternal organizations.
14. Barricades, Road Guards, and Tower Guards
a. Using units are responsible for closing the approaches to the
live-fire range SDZs/areas created by their live-fire training events.
In many cases, barricades, gates, and appropriate warning signs are
adequate. In those cases that require road guards, Range Control will
provide a road guard map showing all road guard positions to the ROIC
when he/she checks out the live-fire range. It is the ROIC/RSO
responsibility to ensure that all barriers/gates with locks and road
guards are in the correct position to prevent anyone from
inadvertently entering the live-fire SDZ/WDZ.
b. Barricades
(1) There are two types of barricades:
(a) Portable barricades consisting of a sawhorse (like)
structure or plastic barriers that are at least two ft. high placed
directly across the road. The barricades shall be painted a bright
color.
(b) Permanent barricades consisting of range gates will be
locked in place or have a sentry on duty at that location. Permanent
barricades are emplaced on all major road and trails leading into the
impact areas. Other permanent barricades are emplaced on various
ranges to prevent down range movement or lateral movement into danger
areas. Permanent barricades must be kept closed at all times except
when authorized access is required. Using unit shall never remove a
permanent barricade or road closed sign. Firing units must ensure
that barricades are in place prior to commencing any live-fire.
Specific requirements for each range/training facility are listed and
described in the Range Cards, which can be found on the Range Control
website.
(2) Range Maintenance/Public Works maintains portable
barricades and signs for placement as required or on request. Units
requiring portable barricades will return the barricades to the Range
Maintenance Section/Public Works upon completion of use.
(3) At no time will anyone, any vehicle, any unit drive around
a locked gate or a sign that states “Road Closed” without checking in
with BLACKBURN/Range Control. If properly scheduled, the unit will be
given the required keys to unlock the range gate or gates. Report all
damaged gates/barricades or locks that are not working properly to
Range Control/Range Inspectors.
5-12 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
c. Road and Tower Guards
(1) Road guards will be posted by firing units ROIC/RSO to
prevent entry into the danger areas of that specific range.
Ordinarily, most range access roads do not require a road guard or
road guards.
(2) The ROIC or RSO may post other road guards as deemed
necessary to ensure safety; however, the arbitrary blocking of roads
will not be permitted. At no time will units stop a Range Control,
Range Inspector or any other authorized section such as Camp Lejeune
EMD from entering a RTA or training facility unless coordinated for
entry with the ROIC/RSO if the range/facility is in use.
(3) Road guards must have positive means of communication with
the firing unit ROIC/RSO at all times and must wear a reflective road
guard vest at all time while assigned as a Road Guard. Road Guards
are responsible for conducting a detail police call of that road guard
position assigned, the surrounding areas of the road guard position
and it must be inspected and cleared by a Range Control Range
Inspector.
(4) Tower guards will be posted when firing over or into or
from the waterways/ocean adjacent to Camp Lejeune, as specified in
Chapter 3. Road guards and tower guards must be competent personnel
who are familiar with the range procedures and capable of taking
immediate, positive action in emergency situations. Tower guards must
be familiar with all communication procedures, thoroughly briefed and
equipped with binoculars and at night with night vision devices.
Units will conduct a police call of the tower/tower guard area.
15. Vehicles
a. Military vehicle speed limit is 25 mph for all wheeled and 15
mph for tracked vehicles while off the hard/paved surfaced roads, such
as tank trails/gravel roads, and in the all TAs unless posted
otherwise aboard Camp Lejeune. Vehicle speed will not exceed what is
safe for, conditions like adverse road conditions, weather conditions,
dust, and night driving conditions. Vehicle speed will be reduced as
required to operate the vehicle safely at all times.
b. Night vision goggles driving will be in accordance with II
MEF, Division, MARSOC, TECOM, 2d MLG, and 2d MAW orders/policies, with
a maximum speed of no more than 15 mph while wearing night vision
goggles. Night vision driving/night tactical driving will only take
place on scheduled/approved TAs/tank trails in RFMSS. At no time will
this type of vehicle training take place on any hard/paved surfaced
roads. Highway 172 CVOT Course can be scheduled for night vision
driving on the paved surface if properly scheduled in RFMSS, signed
5-13 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

for and the required road guards provided. Speed limits when passing
troops that are conducting training (Hikes) is limited to no faster
than five mph. Units must ensure a route reconnaissance is conducted
to ensure the scheduled routes are clear and can be used safely for
road marches with personnel and tactical vehicles.
16. Other Notes/General Comments(s)
a. Police Call. Upon completion of all training, ROICs and RSOs
will ensure a thorough, detailed police call is conducted of the
entire RTAs and training facilities in order to ensure that no trash,
ammunition boxes, or any other debris/dunnage has been left in the
area and that all fighting positions and holes have been filled in by
the using unit. All areas/buildings/structures occupied during the
conduct of training will be thoroughly policed; if a TA has not been
policed upon the occupation of the using unit, the unit shall notify
BLACKBURN of the situation so it will not be held responsible for the
RTA or facility. When an area is found by Range Control personnel to
be in a poor state of police, the last known using unit will be
required to return to the training facility, TAs or live-fire ranges
and police it up thoroughly and be inspected to be properly cleared.
b. The use of all pyrotechnics/smoke/CS is prohibited 500 meters
from the center of the old and new Landfill. Pyrotechnics/Smoke/CS is
not authorized in the entire GSRA complex. Pyrotechnics/Smoke/other
training devices are not authorized within 1000 meters of the fuel
farms aboard Camp Lejeune.
c. OPs must be requested in the same manner as all other training
facilities.
d. At no time will metal stakes/engineer stakes be used to
support any type of target material or used to support wooden pallets
being used as targets due to the potential high hazard of ricochets.
Units are not authorized to fire at steel targets using 5.56mm green
tipped (DODIC A059/A064) ammunition closer than 100 meters.
17. Hikes (Road March)
a. Units must check in with BLACKBURN at the start of the hike,
(Road March) halfway, and upon completion reporting the number of
personnel trained. Hike Checklist must be provided with overlay.
b. The unit must have road guards during the hike with required
safety vests on, a government safety vehicle and a proper equipped
corpsman or corpsmen depending on the size of unit during the entire
hike. The road guards (headlights/taillights) will have some type of
light device/system displayed on them (i.e., flashlight, or chem-
lights) that is visible to all others during night/low visibility.
Hiking units must keep all personnel at least three feet from the
5-14 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
hard-surface roads and this must be enforced. Road guards will be
posted for all paved road crossings. Safety vehicles are not
authorized on the paved PT/MCCS bike trails. Hiking units and the
assigned safety vehicles cannot delay/impede the normal flow of
civilian vehicle traffic. Using unit must ensure proper road crossing
procedures are in place, enforced, and supervised to prevent a
mishap/accident. Units are not authorized to cross major/high traffic
roads during high traffic times periods like Holcomb Boulevard, Sneads
Ferry Road, McHugh Blvd, Cross Street, and Birch Street. If a unit
requires crossing major/high traffic road it must be coordinated by
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ Range Control, Base Operations, and PMO at least 15
working days in advance to be granted the required permission.
18. Police of Ranges, Training Areas, and Training Facilities
a. Purpose. To identify policies and procedures for the
clearance, policing, and inspecting and a range inspection by a Range
Control, Range Inspector of all training facilities and ranges of all
training facilities, ranges, and TAs aboard Camp Lejeune. Unit
Commanders/ROIC/RSO are responsible for the policing of all RTAs and
training facilities scheduled and/or used aboard Camp Lejeune.
b. Policies and Procedures
(1) Prior to occupying any RTAs or training facilities the
unit may cancel a RFMSS requests for those areas scheduled that are no
longer needed/wanted. This must be done no later than 24 to 48 hours
prior to the first scheduled day or the unit will be responsible for
clearing/inspecting these facilities.
(2) Upon completion of training, COs and/or the ROIC/RSO of
RTAs and training facilities or other scheduled facilities will
coordinate with Range Control/BLACKBURN for a clearance/inspection of
the assigned area(s). When planning training, units must include
sufficient time and resources to properly conduct the detailed police
call/field day of the areas/facilities used for a clearance
/inspection. When multiple areas are scheduled, areas will be
inspected on a first-come, first-served basis. Failure to effect
timely coordination may result in a delay in obtaining a clearance
/inspection and delay or otherwise interfere with another unit’s
scheduled use of the range or training facility.
(3) When a unit schedules a RTA or facility, that unit is
responsible for obtaining clearance/inspection. Failure to occupy a
scheduled range/TA/facility, or allowing another unit use of the
areas, does not relieve the scheduled unit from the responsibility to
get cleared/police/inspect those area/areas scheduled.
5-15 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(4) When approved through Range Control concurrent usage and
piggybacking, is authorized with coordination between a scheduled unit
and a unit desiring to use the same facility. Clearance of that
facility will remain the responsibility of the initial user, unless
the concurrent usage agreement specifically states otherwise.
(5) Fighting holes/fighting positions, emplacements, ditches,
etc., will be filled in before requesting clearance/inspection. The
RTA or facility will be thoroughly policed; communications, concertina
wire or other obstacles, sandbags, unit vehicles and other equipment
must be removed before final clearance/inspection. Burying of trash
/ammunition dunnage on a range/TA is strictly prohibited. All trash
/garbage will be removed from the RTA or facility and disposed of
properly by the unit.
(6) If an area is found to be in a poor state of police the
using unit must contact BLACKBURN immediately so a Range Inspector can
be dispatched to that site to investigate. Range Control Operations
will notify the last known unit scheduled for that area (providing the
unit was not properly cleared), and the unit will be required to
properly clear/police the area.
(7) If it is impossible for an inspection to be conducted
prior to a unit’s departure or if inspection conducted is
unsatisfactory, the CO/ROIC/RSO will designate a responsible
individual, preferably one who participated in the training, to
accompany a Range Inspector on a subsequent inspection within 24
hours. Failure to clear/inspect a RTA or facility on time will result
in the scheduled unit’s CO/ROIC/RSO being notified of the non-
compliance with this Order. If the unit CO/ROIC/RSO takes no action,
then follow-up action will be taken which could include denial of
access to the Installation Training Facilities in accordance with
reference (a) and this Order/Range Cards.
c. Before securing from a range, training/maneuver area or
training facility, each using unit will thoroughly police the entire
area used and remove all trash/dunnage/target material. At no time
will a unit burn trash or bury trash aboard Camp Lejeune.
d. The unit’s ROIC/RSO conducting the training, will request a
Range Inspector or MOUT Staff from Range Control, or the Training
Support Division (TSD) Site Managers for training simulators as may be
appropriate, for final inspection prior to securing from the RTA or
training facility. BLACKBURN will coordinate the inspection time and
will instruct the ROIC/RSO to be available to meet the Range Inspector
or MOUT Staff for those sites. An inspection will be scheduled as
soon as possible after firing is completed. Units securing from their
live-fire range or training facility after dark will be inspected the
following morning/day.
5-16 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

e. Units are required to carry trash bags for policing the area
and deposit the trash bags in the unit’s trash receptacle/
dumpster. Do not deposit trash in dumpsters that do not belong to
your unit, i.e., contractors/construction company/MCCS dumpsters on
the ranges/beach.
f. Wood products will be taken to the Camp Lejeune landfill.
Scrap metal, plastic items will be placed in the Camp Lejeune
recycling program containers at the Recycling Center. Metal,
cardboard, any wood products or ammunition dunnage will not be placed
in dumpsters. At no time will ammunition related items, used targets
be placed in a dumpster or left on RTAs or training facilities.
19. Fouled Ranges. It is possible for unauthorized personnel,
vehicles, and watercraft to trespass onto RTAs and foul target
complexes or RTAs. Fouled ranges not only hamper mission readiness,
but also pose a significant safety hazard to the trespassers
themselves. In order for MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ G-3/5 (Range Control
/BLACKBURN) to determine the magnitude of this dilemma and apply
appropriate corrective measures, documentation is necessary. Any
mission interrupted or aborted due to a fouled range will be
immediately reported to Range Control/BLACKBURN.
20. Range Violations
a. In addition to the regulations stated in this Order/Range
Cards/Range Control Advisory Messages, all training units must abide
by the special instructions outlined in the individual range cards,
which are an extension to this order. Individual range cards
containing SPINS and duties along with responsibilities of the
ROIC/RSO are located at Range Control, as well as the Camp Lejeune
Range Control website.
b. Any infractions will result in a range violation. Range
Operations personnel, are the issuing agents for these violations.
In the event of a violation, all training may be halted until
corrective action has been taken. ROIC/RSO privileges may be revoked
by the RCO/RCOO based on the severity of the infraction(s).
Warning: Failure to comply with these regulations may subject the
offender to administrative action or disciplinary action under the
UCMJ. Commanders of organizations using the ranges are encouraged to
submit recommendations, improvements, or changes to the CG MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ (G-3/5 RCD).
c. ROIC/RSO Decertification/Suspension. De-certification is the
loss of privilege to act as ROIC, RSO, or RLSO aboard MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ due to a major violation of safety procedures. Suspension of
privileges may be derived from reoccurring minor infractions or major
infractions with mitigation.

(3) De-certification requires the ROIC/RSO/RLSO to wait a
minimum of 60 days prior to re-certification. To re-certify; the
Marine must re-take the ROIC/RSO Course and receive additional
training on the subject area upon which they were decertified.
Incidents revolving around weapons systems will require
recertification on that weapon system at the unit level.
(4) The decision to suspend or decertify an individual rests
at the level of the Installation RCO/RCOO.

Table 5-1--Camp Lejeune Ranges
22. Pistol Ranges
a. All Camp Lejeune pistol ranges are set up and operated by a
civilian contractor and require 48 hour advance scheduling. Requests
for additional range time must be received at Range Control at least
four hours before the originally scheduled cold time and during normal
working hours. After working hours the using unit will need to
contact BLACKBURN. The range operator must be present on the range
before a unit can request to go HOTunless pre-arranged.
b. Training on the Remote Control Unit (RCU) and the Potable
Infantry Target System (PITS) is available by the contractor Monday
through Friday (0700-1600) on a walk-in basis by contacting 450-9955
at Building 1404 on Elm Street.
c. When the range is signed for at Range Control in Building 54,
the using unit will receive a copy of this Order/Range Card and range
flag.
d. Any problems with the operation of the PITS systems/RCU, or
damage to the system or ventilation system, contact the Contracting
Officer Representative at (910) 450-8004/(910) 451-9375.
23. Impact Areas
a. General. There are three main impact areas aboard Camp
Lejeune: N-1/BT-3, G-10, and K-2. G-10 and K-2 are the only impact
areas designated where dud-producing ordnance and training practice
ordnance can be fired. N-1/BT-3 is restricted to only non-dud
producing ordnance (Inert Ordnance Only), except on E-1, G-5, and G-7.
No personnel will enter a designated impact area aboard Camp Lejeune
without approval from the RCO and EOD support to escort them. For the
purpose of constructing an SDZ/WDZ, all buffer, and ricochet areas,
will be contained within the impact area. Impact area and range
boundaries are marked with red warning signs: Danger Impact Area,
Keep Out. BLACKBURN controls all live-fire into all impact areas
aboard Camp Lejeune.
b. For additional information pertaining to impact areas, refer
to Appendix B.

c. When not in use for training, the EB training beach is
available for recreational use. Refer to the flip sign on the road at
the entrance of EB TA for the availability of recreational use. Range
Inspectors will flip the sign to recreational use after the training
unit passes the required inspection. Recreational users may call
BLACKBURN, (910) 451-3064, to check on the use of the EB training
beach. MCCS and the CLEO are responsible for advising its patrons on
the environmental rules of the beach and cleaning up after its use.
CLEO’s will periodically check EA/EB TAs to verify recreational users
are authorized and in compliance with Base regulations/orders. All
domesticated animals accompanying recreational users must be held on a
leash/reins and any defecation by these animals must be bagged and
removed with the patron from the beach. If any portion of the EB TA
is desired to be used for a family day/unit party, the requesting unit
must submit a SRR through their chain of command to arrive at Range
Control at least 30 working days in advance of the date of the event.
d. When checking out a live-fire range, the ROIC must indicate
anticipated time of use and the type of training to be conducted, type
of ordnance (DODICs or NALC) and weapons to be used at the time of
check-out. Request to extend contractor/non-contractor supported
ranges (live-firing times) during normal working hours will be
directed to Range Scheduling (Monday to Thursday 0730-1630 and on
Friday 0730-1530). After hours and weekend requests will be submitted
to BLACKBURN. BLACKBURN has the authority to extend range firing
times up to one hour. Requests for extension beyond one hour will be

MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
submitted to the RCO. Requests for extensions on all contracted run
ranges must be submitted at least four hours in advance for approval
during normal working hours.
28. Fire and Movement/Maneuver
a. Fire and maneuver training will be conducted only on
designated/approved range. Review Chapter 17 of reference (a) for
additional information on live-fire and maneuver ranges. ROIC/RSO
will ensure all individuals and weapons crews have conducted gun
drills, BZO/Zero/ISMT training, and fired and passed a qualification
course for the weapon/weapon systems they will fire during the live-
fire and maneuver exercise.
b. The ROIC/RSO (when required by the Range Cards) will submit a
coordinated/detailed plan (SRR) to Range Control. This plan will
include, but is not limited to:
(1) A detailed SOM, fire support plan including SDZs for
support by fire positions, direction of fire, and cease or shift fire
requirements (with all required data).
(2) A list of weapons, ammunition, lasers, pyrotechnics,
smoke, and any other items with assigned DODICs to be used.
(3) Unit control measures, signals, including means of
communications.
(4) Terrain features and facilities required.
(5) A SRR signed by the unit chain of command and a reviewed
and signed ORM worksheet (see Appendix C, ORM and Appendix E, SRR of
this Order) and any other pertinent information concerning the
proposed live-fire exercise that will assist in evaluating the safety
of the event.
c. Prior to Live-fire and Maneuver Training, the ROIC/RSO will:
(1) Must conduct at least two rehearsals/dry run exercises
prior to conducting any live-fire and movement/maneuver using the same
conditions on the assigned range (e.g., night rehearsal for night
attack).
(2) Provide for safety checks of each weapon system, crew
served weapon before, during, and after firing live ammunition.
d. Aircraft participating in fire and maneuver training will have
communications with a FAC/FAC(A)/JTAC, BLACKBURN or an airspace
control agency at all times. Aircraft must conduct a dry pass before
conducting live-fire.
5-36 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

e. Only approved and authorized ammunition cleared for overhead
fire will be used for fire and maneuver events.
29. Road Crossing Procedures
a. These procedures are in place to enhance safety at paved
roadway tactical vehicle crossing sites for both tracked and wheeled
vehicles. All commands shall review and change their actions at the
crossing sites and adjust unit SOPs to reflect the following
procedures. These procedures are also found in reference (ad).
b. Units will post road guards with safety vests at all paved
road crossing points. Road Guards will stand on both sides of the
paved road and cover both directions from the crossing point. Road
Guards will be posted a minimum distance of 100 meters from the
crossing point on all 55 mph roads and 50 meters on all other paved
roads aboard Camp Lejeune. Tracked vehicles will only cross at the
designated concrete crossing pads.
c. Road Guards will wear reflective vests both day and night.
Road Guards will have some means of signaling their tactical vehicles
to proceed or stop them from crossing the paved road. All tactical
vehicles must go admin at the crossing location by turning on all
lights/flashing lights before crossing. Road Guards must ensure all
traffic is stopped before any tactical vehicle (wheeled/tracked)
starts crossing the paved road. Road Guards must always be aware of
all oncoming traffic and have an escape route from the roadway in case
the traffic does not stop.
d. Road Guards will remain in position for the entire crossing
period and will stay in place until the using unit removes all debris
(dirt, rocks, and mud) from the paved road.
e. During the hours of darkness or reduced visibility, Road
Guards will be equipped with a visible lighting system like flares,
distress markers, chemical lights, DOT Reflective triangles and must
have a flashlight in their hand pointed in the direction of the
oncoming traffic. The safety lighting system shall be placed in front
of the road guards at least 10m to warn the oncoming traffic of the
Road Guard position.
f. The following precautions will be taken when military vehicles
cross paved roads:
(1) One ground controller, located at the crossing site, will
post road guards and direct vehicles safely across. Controller will
direct tactical vehicles across using hand and arm signals. For
single tactical vehicle crossings (tracked or oversized wheeled
5-37 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
vehicle), an A-Driver will dismount and physically ground guide the
vehicle across when safe to do so. Two or more vehicles require road
guards be posted.
(2) Crossing of paved highways will be an “administrative
move”. All service drive lights will be used. Vehicles will close to
25-meter intervals before the lead tactical vehicle negotiate the
crossing and all other requirements listed in this Order.
30. Vehicle Training Procedures (Road March Safety Issues)
a. Allocation of a scheduled TA does not include the exclusive
use of that tank trail/gravel road located therein. Any commander
desiring exclusive use of any portion of a tank trail/gravel road
/paved road must specifically request the desired portion and include
a complete justification to Range Control. Unit must provide required
road guards. Movement of all vehicles to and from ranges and TAs will
be confined to established tank trails as depicted on the current Camp
Lejeune Special Training Map. Use only authorized crossing points
when crossing hard-surfaced roads.
b. Tracked vehicles operating on paved or hard-surfaced roads are
not authorized unless approved by Range Control five days in advance.
c. When moving within TAs, tracked vehicles are not restricted to
just tank trails and can move off road in designated areas. However,
when maneuvering off the tank trails, sharp turns shall be avoided to
help protect the environment and reduce soil disturbance. Tracked
vehicles are not authorized in endangered species sites,
archaeological sites, areas that have been replanted/re-forested, wet
lands, drainage ditches, culvert areas, bridges (except Onslow Beach
Bridge when pre-arranged), paved road shoulders, and areas that have
sewer/water/gas lines. Tracked vehicles will not maneuver on the
range complex except when specific permission is granted by Range
Control or approved by this Order. Vehicle damage to firing positions
or roads that cannot be repaired by the unit will be reported to Range
Control.
d. To prevent damage to improved roads on the Camp Lejeune
Training Complex and for safety purposes, only established concrete
tank crossings will be used. A list of the tank crossing pads
location/grids can be obtained from Range Control.
e. Tracked vehicles on paved roads when approved/pre-arranged
must be led by a wheeled vehicle with flashing lights. The unit must
have a plan to remove and clean up all dirt, gravel, and mud from the
hard-surface road and bridge.
5-38 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

f. Stopping, off-loading of passengers, and scheduled halts will
not occur on any hard-surfaced roads. Tactical vehicle events
/procedures other than convoy movement are NOT AUTHORIZED on the hard-
surface roads of Camp Lejeune.
g. Movement across the active portion of DZs/TLZs is prohibited,
unless specifically approved (in writing) by the RCO, or his
designated representative. If maneuver on a DZ/TLZ/training facility
is approved, the unit will coordinate with supporting engineers to
repair any damage caused to all areas prior to area clearance. For
planning purposes ruts that are deeper than boot height (six inches)
must be repaired or graded and leveled out.
h. COs shall ensure all vehicle operators are qualified and
licensed. Operators and passengers will use Kevlar helmets or CVC,
seat belts, safety straps, or nets on vehicles so equipped at all
times.
i. The primary purpose of establishing tank trails is to control
movement of tracked vehicles and tactical wheeled vehicles. These
tank trails are considered off limits to civilian-type traffic, except
when specifically authorized by Range Control or authorized
recreational activity. In such cases, the driver of the civilian
vehicle will be issued a Range Control POV Pass as per this Order that
indicates authorized dates. Drivers will be instructed to exercise
extreme caution, particularly when approaching or passing tracked and
tactical wheeled vehicles.
j. Units are authorized to conduct blackout/night vision vehicle
training on the tank trails/gravel roads if properly scheduled in
RFMSS. Blackout/night vision training is prohibited on any of the
hard-surface roads of Camp Lejeune roads of Camp Lejeune except on the
Highway 172 CVOT Course if properly scheduled in RFMSS and signed for.
At least one person (A-Driver) will not have any night vision devices
on during training and act as a safety person. Standard non-tactical
vehicles while working to support training or other requirements will
have all lights on at all times and upon encountering a unit
conducting blackout/night vision training will yield the right of way,
stop, or pull over and switch to parking lights only until the
unit/vehicles are cleared. Units using night vision devices to drive
during hours of reduced visibility will ensure the devices are removed
and standard vehicle lights are turned on before crossing any hard-
surfaced roads. Using units must ensure the route/routes are clear
and safe before conducting any tactical movement both day and night.
k. All tactical vehicle accidents within the RTAs or training
facilities must be immediately reported to BLACKBURN, then to the Road
Masters, and the unit chain of command. Vehicles halted due to break
down will be marked with reflective triangles and or red chemical
lights as required.

l. Tactical Wheeled Vehicles with Mounted Crew-Served Weapons.
Units are authorized to mount and man crew served weapons stations on
all assigned wheeled vehicles as long as all protective gear is worn
like helmets, body armor, and eye protection aboard Camp Lejeune.
Blank ammunition cannot be mounted, loaded or fired while the vehicle
is on any of the hard-surfaced roads aboard the Installation. Once
the wheeled vehicle with mounted weapon system enters the scheduled TA
on the tank trails/gravel roads the weapon can be loaded with blank
ammunition only and used. Live ammunition can only be mounted, loaded
and used on the scheduled live-fire ranges aboard Camp Lejeune. If
the wheeled vehicle departs Camp Lejeune (off the installation) and
travels on civilian controlled roads/highways the weapon system must
be directed toward the front of the vehicle and locked down,
ammunition removed, and placed in the vehicle. The weapon system
operator (gunner) must be inside the vehicle with required safety gear
on and seat belt used.
31. Onslow Beach Bridge Crossing Procedures
a. The following procedures will be used for all tracked vehicles
(tanks/AAVs/ABVs, engineer equipment) crossings of the Onslow Beach
Bridge to enhance safety and minimize any damage to the bridge. At
least one working day prior to crossing and the day of crossing, the
unit will contact Range Control at (910) 451-1240 to ensure
coordination has been made with the Bridge Operators at (910) 440-
7376. After normal working hours, the unit will contact BLACKBURN
directly to ensure coordination with the Bridge Operators and the unit
crossing the bridge.
b. Tracked vehicle must cross at a slow speed (five mph or less).
All POVs must be stopped before attempting any crossing.
c. Only one tracked vehicle at a time and the tracked vehicle
must be in the center of the bridge using ground guides (Front and
Back) with safety vests. If a tracked vehicle is towing another
disabled tracked vehicle this must be briefed to the bridge operator
beforehand.
d. The unit must sweep off any dirt, mud, or gravel from the
paved roadway of the bridge after the crossing is completed.
32. Public Affairs and Range Operations
a. Military training accidents are high visibility and attract
public interest. The public has a right to know about accidents and
incidents. However, procedures must be followed to ensure the rights
and privacy of personnel involved are not denied, an investigation is
not hampered by release of speculative or unrelated remarks, and the
information presented to the public is as factual as possible.
5-40 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
b. Basic Requirements
(1) In accordance with this Order, any visits to RTAs and
training facilities must be coordinated through Range Control. Camp
Lejeune policy states news gathering media may be invited on the
installation through the Camp Lejeune PAO. If a unit desires media
coverage of training, coordination must be made with the Camp Lejeune
PAO and Range Control at least 72 hours in advance for both internal
and external media coverage.
(2) In the event of a mishap (accident/incident), personnel
must refrain from making comments, answering questions, or engaging in
speculation with all members of the media. If approached by a member
of the media, personnel involved must refer the question or questions
to a Camp Lejeune PAO representative. If there is no PAO
representative present, personnel shall firmly and politely reply with
“I will refer your query/question to the Camp Lejeune Public Affairs
Office”.
(3) At no time shall excessive force or abusive language be
directed against the news media representative. Separation of news
media representatives and personnel involved in the accident or
incident shall be accomplished through traffic control points or by
sealing off the mishap site to prevent unauthorized release of
information. Keep in mind a camera does not need to be focused
directly on its subject and video cameras and tape recorders will pick
up audio signals quite clearly from a distance.
(4) Following a mishap (Accident or Incident), anyone that
identifies himself as a news media representative must be escorted by
a Camp Lejeune PAO designated escort or PAO representative from that
unit. Make positive identification of official personnel before
volunteering information.
33. Bivouacking on a Range or TA
a. Units/commands desiring to bivouac on a RTA must include that
information on the RFMSS request in the remarks box. Units must send
an e-mail SRR to RSS to request to bivouac on any live-fire
range/ETA/MP. Units do not need any special permission to bivouac
within a scheduled training area/LZ.
b. When signing for a live-fire range, the ROIC/RSO needs to
confirm the unit’s bivouac intentions and after arriving onsite, call
back a six-digit grid location to BLACKBURN.
c. Units bivouacking anywhere within the Camp Lejeune range
complex are required to maintain two way communications with BLACKBURN
on frequency FM 34.70 at all times. Radio checks with BLACKBURN must
be conducted at 0600, 1400, and 2200 daily.

Chapter 6
Ammunition and Explosive (A&E)
1. General
a. Firing of all direct fire weapons, indirect fire weapons,
explosives/demolitions, lasers devices, and all other training devices
must conform in all respects to appropriate SDZs and WDZs for that
weapon system/ammunition; refer to reference (a) and all other
required references. Units firing weapons must ensure the down range
area is cleared of all personnel, vehicles, and aircraft before
conducting any live-fire. The proximity of major highways, paved
roads, tank trails, adjacent ranges, maneuver areas, and boundaries to
civilian home and property at Camp Lejeune demands that careful
consideration be given to all live-fire ranges and the impact areas
for all flat and high trajectory projectiles to ensure that they
impact within established, impact areas, approved SDZs/WDZs, and
sector of fire for that assigned range/impact area.
b. Any experimental, new weapons, ammunition/ordnance being
tested and foreign weapons, training devices, will not be fired or
demonstrated on any range at Camp Lejeune without the prior approval
from the RCO. The unit must provide Range Control with a Safety
Certification from Marine Corps Systems Command, Warfighting Lab,
DoD/Department of the Navy Agencies, or any other appropriate military
service documentation prior to conducting any live-fire or the use of
that device/equipment. MARSOC may also have certifications through
United States Special Operations Command, Naval Special Warfare
Command (Crane), and United States Air Special Operations Command
Foreign Weapons Armory which will be provided to Range Control as
required or directed.
c. For further guidance and information on general range safety
issues, weapons/ammunition all using units/commands shall refer to
reference (a), the current version of the RTAM TECOM Pocket Guide, and
this Order/Range Cards. Specific and detail range safety information
and guidance /policy for Camp Lejeune is contained throughout this
Order.
2. Transportation, Handling, and Storage of Ammunition and Explosives
a. General. A&E, regardless of type, quantity, or location must
meet basic minimum safety and security requirements established in
reference (ae), Ammunition and Explosives Safety Ashore and reference
(p), Marine Corps Ammunition Management Explosive Safety, and
reference (af) Marine Corps Physical Security Program Manual, that
6-1 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
provide policies and procedures associated with the handling, storage,
safety and security of Class V A&E. Reference (ag), Transportation
Safety Handbook for Ammunition Explosives and Related Hazardous
Material, governs transportation of A&E and related HAZMAT.
(1) Duds
(a) A dud is ammunition, of any caliber or weight, that
has been fired, placed, dropped, thrown or launched, but which fails
to function as designed. Duds found outside an impact area, or in a
TA, must be reported to BLACKBURN immediately. Do not disturb a dud
or UXO in any manner.
(b) The ROIC will report all UXO (dud) ammunition to
BLACKBURN.
NOTE: Demolition materials like C4 or TNT which fail to function are
misfires, not duds.
(2) Misfires and Hang Fires
(a) General. A misfire is defined as the failure of a
primer or the projectile propelling charge to function, a line charge
or demolition material which fails to function. In the interest of
safety, all misfire procedures shall be completed on the range.
(b) Misfire procedures in training manuals for the
appropriate weapon system will be followed. In the event misfires
present an immediate hazard to personnel or a ceasefire is necessary,
they will be reported to BLACKBURN.
(c) Hang Fire. Is an undesired delay in the functioning
of a firing system. A hang fire for a rocket occurs if the rocket
propellant is ignited by the firing impulse, but the rocket fails to
exit the launcher within the expected time frame. A hang fire occurs
when a tube-launched, optically-tracked, wireless-guided
(TOW) Missile
fails to launch, but internal components of the missile, such as
batteries and gyros, are initiated. If a TOW Missile has a hang fire
contact BLACKBURN to request EOD assistance. A TOW Missile hang fire
will not be transported off the range.
(3) The ROIC of the firing unit will ensure accurate records
are kept on the number of rounds fired, the number of duds
experienced, and the location of the duds. At the conclusion of each
day's firing, the number of duds will be reported to BLACKBURN as part
of the Range Utilization Report by the RSO.

the location in the TA does not conflict with the installation
boundaries, paved roads, that it is open air release or being
conducted in a tent (Field Expedient Gas Chamber) or the current Fire
Condition.
(3) Use of RCAs in TAs requires the supervision by CBRNE
personnel specially trained (5702/5711) in field behavior, individual
protection, and first aid for RCAs per reference (ak).
(4) RCAs will not be used under conditions that are dangerous
to life, property, or endangered species like the RCW. Minimum safe
distance to TLZs is 500 meters. Minimum safe distance to on-base
public roads, any built-up areas to include the MOUT Complexes/FOBs
and endangered species sites is 500 meters. No RCA will be used
within 1000 meters of the installation boundaries to include waterways
and the New River. CS can be used on tank trails as long as the
distance from paved roads is more than 500 meters and the surrounding
TAs are scheduled and signed for by a 5702/5711. Road guards shall be
posted to prevent other units/vehicles/personnel from entering the
TA/tank trail. CS will not be used in TLZs unless the TLZ is
scheduled in RFMSS and signed for by the using unit as a CS event.
(5) All COs conducting field exercises with RCAs must conduct
an ORM to include, but not limited to: heat conditions, safety,
training of Marines/Sailors, protective gear, open wounds, and contact
lenses, and all other requirements set forth in reference (ak) on
CBRNE Training. This will also include the restrictions of driving

meters. Smoke pots will only be used after checking wind direction to
ensure the smoke will stay within the boundary of Camp Lejeune and not
impede any traffic aboard the Installation.
7. Simunitions, Special Effects Small Arms Marking System (SESAMS),
Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK), and Ultimate Training
Munitions (UTM), and I-TESS-II Gear/Equipment
a. Though simunitions SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM training is less dangerous
than live-fire, such training still holds the possibility of injury to
users and others in the TAs/facilities. SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM rounds
travel at approximately 400 to 500 ft. per second and can cause damage
to soft, unprotected tissues including the eyes, throat, genitals, and
exposed skin. The unit commander is responsible for the safe use of
these innovative training systems/devices at all times. A SESAMS
/CCMCK/UTM training event is treated just like any other live-fire
event and must be signed for by a ROIC that is certified in those
devices and all other live-fire safety requirements are in place,
enforced and supervised.
b. Usage. All requests to use SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM will be initiated
via RFMSS and must include a qualified ROIC and RSO on those devices.
Units can request a specific location such as Combat Town, MOUT
Lejeune Complex, E-MOUT, Mobile MOUT, UTFs, a TLZ/GP or an entire TA.
Scheduling SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM in the MOUT Lejeune Complex, Combat Town,
Mobile MOUT, E-MOUT or a TLZ/GP will include an area that extends to
150 meters from that facility for un-protected personnel around the
training site that must be secured/controlled by the using unit. This
distance provides a buffer area to mitigate the chance for inadvertent
contact or injury. The daily RFWO Message will highlight training
locations where SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM will be used. This will serve as
warning to all other personnel/units of this type of training
activity. Other units are authorized within the MOUT training sites
as long as the 150 meter rule is in place, enforced, and coordination
has taken place between the two or more units. SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM are
not authorized to be used in any FOBs aboard this Installation.

FIRE" call has been given.
(4) All personnel within 150 meters of the event must be in
the required PPE to include support personnel.
e. Ground Safety Measures
(1) The using unit will secure a perimeter 150 meters around
the SESAMS training location to deny non-exercise personnel entry into
the SESAMS TA by placing out road guards or barriers. The unit would
be required to post road guards/security to prevent someone from
entering an area where SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM are being used.
(2) SESAMS will not be used within 250 meters of any paved,
hard-surface road used by civilian traffic (e.g., Sneads Ferry Road,
Marines Road, Lyman Road, Highway 172, and Onslow Beach Road).
f. Communication Procedures. The ROIC or the RSO will call into
BLACKBURN to request permission to go "HOT” with simunitions exactly
as if requesting to go "HOT" on a live-fire range. Once BLACKBURN
provides the simunitions/SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM) brief and authorizes the
use of simunitions/SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM. The ROIC/RSO will make normal
radio checks every 30 minutes (on the hour and half-hour) stating:
"Combat Town, TLZ Gull, TA Hotel-Hotel simunitions/SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM
in use.” This will notify all other units in the area that
simunitions/SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM are in use in that area.
g. Upon completion of training, the ROIC/RSO will request to go
“COLD" and report number of rounds expended, number personnel trained,
and conduct a police call. Once BLACKBURN places the unit in a cold
status, all simunitions/SESAMS training is terminated for the day.
All weapons will be checked by the ROIC/RSO and all SESAMS/CCMCK/UTM
ammunition collected/turned in.

f. All mortar safety checks for 60mm/81mm/120mm mortars are
mandatory before firing any live ammunition (HE/WP/RP/ILLUM/TP).
Mortar sights will be bore sighted before any live-fire training.
Ensure mortars have completed bore scope and pullover tests as
required.
g. The ROIC/RSO will calculate, by charge for each mortar, the
left and right deflection limits and the minimum and maximum quadrant
elevations that can safely be fired from that position with rounds
landing only in the impact area. Units firing mortars will have
applicable firing tables for that weapon system and type of ammunition
on the range during the live-fire event.
h. The ROIC/RSO of the live-fire event will ensure each mortar
leader has in their possession a copy of the safety information, as
calculated by the RSO/Fire Direction Control (FDC). It will be
written on a range card in the form of a SAFETY “T”. The Fire
Direction Officer/SNCO/NCO/FDC will have a copy of the safety
information for that mortar unit/mortar system/ammunition. Use of a
Mortar Ballistic Computer (MBC) is authorized. In addition to the
MBC, a secondary means that it authorized to check the primary MBC
with another MBC as the secondary means of computing mortar data must
be used and in place and checked against the primary MBC before
conducting any mortar live-fire.
i. Firing restrictions and limitations in reference (am) apply to
all cartridges and fuses. Cartridge M720 will not be fired in the
60mm in the hand held mode greater than Charge 1.

k. When the FDC calculates the firing data, the data will be
checked against the "SAFETY T" by the appropriate persons for each
mortar to ensure that the data calculated is safe and that the data
placed on the mortar is safe/correct. Only then can a round be fired.
l. When computing firing data, the MBCs shall match exactly for
range and deflection. When using an M16 plotting board to verify the
firing data from the MBC, deflections shall check within 10 mils and
ranges shall check within 25 meters.
m. At no time will any mortar system conduct live-fire into the
UCAS facility in the G-10 Impact area.
10. Hand Grenades
a. Before live hand grenade training begins, all personnel must
be knowledgeable of the grenade being used and proficient in the
safety precautions/immediate action procedures for handling and
throwing live hand grenades. Personnel being trained must
successfully throw at least two practice grenades prior to throwing a
live grenade and rehearse/conduct immediate action procedures for a
dropped grenade in the throwing pit. Additional information on all
grenades, grenade live-fire training can be obtained in reference (a),
Grenade and Pyrotechnic and Chapter 5 of reference (a).
b. Protective helmets, body armor, eye protection, and hearing
protection are mandatory on all grenade ranges.

grenade ranges (F-6, K-510, and MAC-3). Once the safety pin has been
pulled, the grenade must be thrown. Do not attempt to re-insert the
safety pin.
d. Only one high explosive hand grenade will be thrown at a time
on the grenade range. Do not make unauthorized modifications to any
hand grenades. Hand grenades will not be milked or delayed before
throwing and at no time will hand grenades be taped.
e. Grenade impact areas contain aiming posts for throwers to use
as targets/aiming points. Additional targets will not be placed in
grenade impact areas by the using units; they create an additional
hazard for EOD personnel during render safe and destruction operations
of UXO/dud grenades. Throwers must consider the flight path of the
grenade; the grenade must detonate within the impact area of that
range. Do not throw the grenade beyond the impact area or outside the
designated lateral limits.
f. Live grenades will not be thrown into standing water, mud,
snow, or dense vegetation. Duds in such areas cannot be cleared and
will result in closure of the range or that lane.

working days prior via an e-mail with an attachment of the scheduled
dates, ranges and times for the following week to coordinate ON-CALL”
EOD support if needed or required. It is the responsibility of the
ROIC/RSO to notify BLACKBURN when they occupy the range so a EOD team
can be placed on alert if needed. The “ON-CALL” EOD team will be
standing by to clear UXO/duds/low order detonation if called by
BLACKBURN. BLACKBURN will notify EOD that the using unit had a
dud/low order detonation/UXO grenade and place the unit in a “CHECK
FIRE” status. Once the dud/low order detonation/UXO grenade has been
taken care of by EOD the unit will be placed back into a “HOT” status.
Once the unit has gone “COLD” for the day the unit must confirm to
BLACKBURN that all grenades are accounted for and functioned properly
down range, then the ROIC/RSO is authorized to initiate the mandatory
police call and range maintenance of the down range impact area.
i. Hand grenade duds/low order detonation/UXOs will be rendered
safe or destroyed only by EOD personnel. They will not be marked,
handled, or moved except by EOD personnel. EOD will observe a minimum
of a 30-minute waiting period from the time of the report to clearing
a dud/low order detonation/UXO grenade. When a grenade fails to
function, the ROIC will:
(1) Cease throwing hand grenades into the affected impact
area. If the impact area is split by a protective berm or berms,
throwing may continue in the half of the impact area unaffected by the
dud/low order detonation/UXO with permission of BLACKBURN.
(2) Notify BLACKBURN of the dud/low order detonation/UXO live
hand grenade, request to go into a “CHECK FIRE” and request EOD
support.
(3) Ensure all personnel remain under cover until EOD
personnel have cleared the dud/low order detonation/UXO.
(4) Standby to render assistance to EOD personnel as to the
location of dud/low order detonation/UXO grenade.

Chapter 7
Laser Operations
1. General
a. Military lasers are being integrated into many aspects of
military training and operations aboard Camp Lejeune. Although lasers
are prohibited from being used directly as a weapon, they enhance the
target designating and range finding capability of many of the weapon
systems in the current DoD/DON/USMC arsenal, including ground, water,
and airborne systems. Personnel using or supervising the use of
lasers will be thoroughly familiar with all aspects of laser
operation, laser safety, system being employed, and all associated
dangers during training and operation aboard this Base. A detail list
of applicable references and definitions for lasers can be found in
references (n) and (o).
b. The word laser is an acronym derived from a description of the
physical process, LASER. The laser generates a beam of intense,
monochromatic light that is usually invisible under normal operating
conditions. The basic hazard associated with laser light is eye
damage. This damage can vary from a small burn, undetectable by the
injured person, to severe vision impairment. Eye damage by laser
light occurs three ways:
(1) Intrabeam or direct viewing;
(2) Diffuse reflection; or
(3) Specular reflection.
c. Direct viewing is the most hazardous form of damage, as the
light beam is focused directly on the retina. Diffuse reflections
occur when the laser beam intercepts a rough surface and is reflected
in a scattered pattern. Specular (mirror-like) reflections redirect
the light beam and cause the same eye damage as direct viewing. The
use of appropriate eyewear (goggles or visors) with the correct
Optical Density (OD) for the frequency of the laser will eliminate the
ocular hazards associated with lasers.
(1) Laser safety is a unit/command responsibility. Commanders
are responsible for ensuring their subordinates understand all of the
potential hazards of training with all laser systems/classes of lasers
currently approved and have the required Range Laser Safety Officers
(RLSO) and conducted the required laser safety training. No one may
act as RLSO until certified in writing by the Battalion/Squadron
Commander or separate Company Commander as qualified to perform duties
and trained as RLSO or above for the laser to be fired/used aboard
Camp Lejeune.
7-1 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(2) RLSOs must take the Range Laser Safety Course, Marine Net
Distance Learning Course (RLSC-DL) Course Number RTAMRLSOAA or attend
the Administrative Laser Safety Officer (ALSO) Course at Camp Lejeune
or MCAS Cherry Point/New River to be properly trained. Contact Range
Control at (910) 451-1240 for class schedule.
d. All lasers are currently divided into four classes: (1, 1M, 2,
2M, 3R, 3B, and 4). All military lasers must be labeled with their
appropriate warning and classifications.
e. Laser Classification. Laser systems are classified according
to their relative hazards from Class 1 (least hazardous) to Class 4
(most hazardous).
(1) Class 1 laser systems pose no hazard under any normal
viewing conditions. Class 1M laser systems are only hazardous when
viewed by magnifying optics.
(2) Class 2 laser systems are low power visible wavelength
lasers which are not considered hazardous for momentary (0.25 s)
unintentional exposure because the normal observer will blink or look
away before eye damage can occur. Class 2M laser systems are low-
power visible wavelength lasers similar to Class 2, but are hazardous
when viewed with magnifying optics even for a momentary exposure.
(3) Class 3 laser systems are medium power lasers. They are
hazardous to personnel who are in the beam path and viewing the source
directly or by specular reflection. They usually do not present a
diffuse reflection or skin hazard. Class 3R laser systems are
considered safe if handled carefully, with restricted intrabeam
viewing. With a Class 3R laser, the MPE can be exceeded, but with a
low risk of injury. Class 3B laser systems are powerful and can cause
serious eye injury for exposures of very short duration. They can be
hazardous for long distances downrange from the laser system.
(4) Class 4 laser systems are very powerful and the most
dangerous laser systems. They can be hazardous for extremely long
distances downrange from the laser system. They can also present a
potential diffuse reflection viewing, skin, and fire hazard.
f. All lasers have potential hazards. General lasers safety
rules of employment, engineering, administrative, and procedural
control measures are as follows:
(1) All laser systems must be approved by the Laser Safety
Review Board (LSRB), with a copy of the approval on file at Range
Control, prior to use. This is particularly important when employing
emerging technologies or commercially available lasers. Do not assume
7-2 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
that just because you have it, the Laser Safety Review Board has
reviewed it/evaluated it. Units can contact Range Control at (910)
451-1240 if they have any questions.
(2) All laser systems will be treated like any direct fire
line-of-sight weapon, such as a rifle or machinegun. The same safety
hazard control precautions will be taken in order to provide a safe
operating environment. Typical buffer angles for lasers are two mrad
for fixed, five mrad for inertial stabilized, 10 mrad for supported,
and 15 mrad for unsupported laser systems.
(3) Only remove the lens cap when ready to fire the laser down
range at the approved location/position. Remove the lens cap before
applying any power source.
(4) Do not leave the power source connected to the laser
device while not lasing. Laser systems that do not have lens caps or
disconnects from power source, the operator must ensure the down range
area of the laser is clear, the system is safe, and the operator is
not touching the trigger to the laser system.
(5) Ensure all personnel using/supervising the operation of
the laser/laser system are completely familiar and trained with its
operation and the associated laser hazards and all safety procedures.
(6) All Marines/Sailors who operate or supervise the operation
of laser equipment will be laser safety certified as RLSO or ALSO per
references (n), (o), Chapter 16 of reference (a), and Chapter 7 of
this Order.
g. Class 1, 1M, 2, and 2M lasers are authorized in all TAs,
ranges, and training facilities aboard Camp Lejeune if properly
scheduled in RFMSS. The using unit must be completely familiar with
the operation and the safety requirements for the laser device and the
Non-Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD).
h. Class 3R, Class 3B, and Class 4 lasers are restricted to OPs
2, 3, and 5 and Ranges G-21, K-325, K-402, K-501/K-501A, K-503/K-503A,
K-500/K-500A, L-5, MAC-6, SR-6, SR-7, SR-8, SR-9, SR-10 and others as
listed in the current copy of Camp Lejeune Laser Survey that is posted
on the Range Control and RTAM TECOM Web Pages. All RLSOs for Class
3R, Class 3B, and Class 4 lasers must be designated an RLSO or ALSO
and be familiar with the MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ Laser Range Safety binder
and this Chapter and all listed references on lasers. All ranges
assigned to WTBn, Stone Bay Range complex (SBRS) are authorized up to
Class 3B Laser Devices.

to assist in complying with the provisions of the Chapter 16 of
reference (a), references (n) and (o), this Order and all other
applicable laser regulations. All RLSOs at Camp Lejeune must be
trained as a RLSO using the Marine Net Course (Course Title,
RTAMLRSOAA) or trained as an ALSOs at a minimum.
(2) Provide adequate control of the target area to prohibit
entry of unauthorized personnel, vehicles, or aircraft.
(3) Designate a RLSO for each lasing site (the RLSO can be the
ROIC/RSO of unit conducting training provided he is present at the
lasing site and is laser safety qualified/certified). The RLSO must

unprotected personnel are not exposed to either direct beam or a beam
reflected from a specular (reflective) surface.
f. Maintain continuous communication with BLACKBURN and any
personnel in the target area. Notify BLACKBURN when lasing operations
commence; stop lasing immediately if communications are lost.
g. Stop lasing immediately if positive control of the laser beam
is lost. Approve each specific laser firing.
h. Ensure no specular surfaces are within 30 meters of the target
area and only diffuse reflectors are along the laser line of sight.
i. Ensure controls are in place (range guards/barriers with laser
warning signs) to prohibit unauthorized personnel entry into the laser
SDZ (LSDZ). Laser warning signs are available from Range Control.
Ensure signs are emplaced at safe distances and locations to prevent

m. Maintain continuous control of all laser use on the range.
4. Range Control Laser Procedures
a. All laser operations must be scheduled (RFMSS) through Range
Control.
b. All lasers will be treated as direct fire weapons. The
underlying concept of laser safety is to prevent intrabeam viewing by
unprotected personnel. This is done by locating target areas where no
line of sight exists between the lasers and uncontrolled potentially
occupied areas and by removing specular surfaces from targets. The
controls to prevent exposure to hazardous levels of laser radiation
are:
(1) Beam stops;
(2) Controlled access;
(3) Restricted airspace;
(4) A buffer zone around the target area;
(5) Safety Brief/Pre-Mission Briefs; and
(6) Laser Training.
c. To provide these controls to prevent exposure, the following
apply to all laser operations:
(1) The laser range boundary must be marked with signs (e.g.
DANGER, Laser Range in Use, DO NOT ENTER) and access roads blocked by
signs/barricades or radio-equipped personnel to ensure that
unprotected personnel do not enter the range area.
(2) Prior to lasing, the target and range area must be
visually inspected to ensure no unauthorized personnel, aircraft, or
water vessels are in the hazard area.
7-6 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

(7) The beam must be terminated on government owned or
controlled property and within the LSDZ. Lasers will not be directed
at any aircraft or above the horizon at any time.
(8) Personnel movements in areas adjacent to the range area
shall be known by lasing safety personnel. ROIC/RSO/Unit leadership
of the movement or occupied position adjacent to or across from the
lasing range shall be advised of the hazards.
d. The following rules apply for all laser use in the RTAs:
(1) The ROIC/RSO/RLSO must be aware of all personnel movements
in areas adjacent to the range area. The ROIC of any moving personnel
or occupied position adjacent to or across from the lasing range must
be advised of the hazard. BLACKBURN will pass coordinating safety
advisements as needed to all units.
(2) Announcement of laser firing, audible to all training
personnel, must be made prior to firing (e.g., "Lasing, Lasing,
Lasing" shouted out-loud).
(3) RCD shall:
(a) Maintain laser firing logs for the Installation
indefinitely via RFMSS.
(b) Conduct a quarterly sweep of laser ranges to remove
specular surfaces that may cause reflection.
e. Report all mishaps or unusual occurrences to the Command LSSO

(3) Prior to any firing over New River sectors, the area will
be visually inspected to ensure it is clear of personnel or vessels.
The artillery unit conducting live-fire into the K-2 Impact Area will
place observers at LZ Oriole/GP-33 or other approved locations with
the required equipment to observe up and down the New River and call
CEASE FIRE” in case of a vessel or aircraft comes within/enters the
GTL of the live-fire event.
(4) When firing into the N-1/BT-3 Impact Area, Brown’s Island
the training unit will provide tower guards that are properly equipped
and will be in place and in communications with the ROIC/RSO and Navy
Boat Crew radio operators before the aircraft range sweep.
(5) All navigable waters between Browns Island and the AIWW
(bounded by Browns Inlet and Bear Inlet) are open to navigation only:
no anchoring, fishing, cast netting, wading, or swimming. No bottom
disturbing activity is authorized like; clamming, oystering, or
crabbing are examples of activities not allowed. There are highly
sensitive unexploded projectiles within the limits of these areas.
NOTMARs will close this area when military live-fire training is
scheduled. Avoid areas where signs identifying the danger/hazardous
areas are posted.
(6) The waters of the AIWW and connecting waters from Bogue
Sound-New River Light 58 [(LLNR 39210) at approximate position 34

c. Military Operations on the Waters of and Surrounding MCIEAST-
MCB CAMLEJ
(1) All operations involving military watercraft in the Camp
Lejeune area, to include, but not limited to U.S. Navy, USCG
ships/smaller water vessels, USMC small boats, and military open water
swimmers fall under the jurisdiction of this Order at all times.
Units conducting any open water training events, to include water
parachute operations will have it scheduled properly in RFMSS, signed
for if required and have the required safety supervisors, safety
swimmers, medical support, and safety boats to support the high-risk
training event. The using unit must have the required communication
with BLACKBURN during the properly scheduled in RFMSS and signed for
training event.
(2) Military operations involving AAVs, LAVs, small boats,
open water swimmers, LCUs, LCACs, etc., in waters surrounding MCIEAST-
MCB CAMLEJ, to include water parachute operations must be scheduled
through RFMSS a minimum of 14 working days prior to use. This time
frame is required to permit the coordination mandated by federal law
with appropriate agencies external to the Marine Corps if required and
to permit the publication of the appropriate Notice to Mariners. Any
unauthorized military waterborne operations conducted without a
published NOTMARs, which injures civilians or damages civilian
property could result in the training unit commander being held
personally liable in Federal court.
(3) LCAC Route to/from Mile Hammock Bay. Entry point
approaching from the sea 855-243; Exit point towards Mile Hammock
Bay 864-255. LCACs requesting to cross Onslow Beach must coordinate
operations at least 21 working days in advance with the RCO and EMD.

(6) All naval and coast guard vessels involved in operations
in Onslow Bay and adjacent waters falling under the jurisdiction of
the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ must request area clearance prior to entry.
Area clearance is required because five of Camp Lejeune ranges fire
into or from the Atlantic Coast Sector. Naval message PLA addressees
are: CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ and CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ G3-5.
(7) Units conducting training in State of North Carolina
waters must be vigilant and yield to hunters, commercial fishermen,
and recreation boaters in the area to prevent conflicts.
2. Navy Boat Crew
a. General. The Navy Boat Crew is organized, staffed, and
equipped to support training involving the navigable waters within the
jurisdiction of the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ. Boats are equipped with
marine band radios and the capability to communicate with BLACKBURN,
ROICs/RSOs of the firing unit on 34.70 FM and all other water crafts
if equipped. Coxswains will operate their boats in accordance with
this Order, USCG, and all other applicable regulations. Routine
support includes:
(1) Downrange safety/guard boats on the NE (Bear Tower) and SW
(Onslow North Tower) points of the AIWW to ensure boat traffic safety
during live firing into the N-1/BT-3 Impact Area, Range H-1, Brown’s
Island, and Naval Gunfire. As a small craft, they will always adhere
to applicable storm/sea warnings and the senior Navy Boat Coxswain on
station will make the final decision to secure Navy Boat Crew
operations or to seek temporary safe harbor in the event of foul
weather and high sea state. If Boat Crew must secure, BLACKBURN will
place the range supported in a “COLD" status until the weather
condition or sea warning is lifted.
(2) Safety/guard boat may provide back-up support for
parachute operations into or near navigable waters of Camp Lejeune.
The Boat Crew provides this service on an "as available" basis and is
not equipped for recovery operations (Safety Swimmers with proper
gear) that require special equipment; such equipment and personnel
must be provided by the unit requesting the support.
(3) Escort or guide boat service for amphibious vehicles (AAVs
or LAVs) transiting navigable waters, primarily New River.
(4) All other assignments or tasks as directed by the RCO.
b. Areas of Responsibility. The Navy Boat Crew operates within
the jurisdictional control of the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ as defined in
references (bg) and (bh). This is generally defined as the New River
8-5 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

Inlet; the Atlantic Ocean sector from the New River Inlet to Bear
Inlet and seaward 25,000 yards; the AIWW within Camp Lejeune East-West
boundaries, and the New River.
c. Requesting Procedures
(1) For scheduled firing into the N-1/BT-3 Impact Area, E-1,
H-1, G-5, G-7, Naval Gunfire, and Brown’s Island, RCO will routinely
provide Navy Guard Boat support; separate unit requests are not
required but detailed coordination must be conducted between all
agencies.
(2) For all other boat support, unit requests must be
submitted via the chain of command to the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ (G-3/5
RCD) 15 working days in advance of the Monday of the training week.
d. Emergency support may be requested directly from BLACKBURN on
34.70 FM or at (910) 451-3064/4449. The Navy Boat Crew is not manned
for emergency 24 hour response, so its off-duty response times will
vary. The Fire Department is the primary source of water rescue
assistance on-base; at sea, the Coast Guard Station at Fort Macon
(252) 247-4570, Emerald Isle (252) 354-2719, Wilmington (910) 256-
2615, (910) 256-4224, (910) 509-0779, or Channels 16, 83A, or 22.
USMC Search and Rescue (PEDRO) helicopter can be reached at (252) 466-
5745 (DSN: 582-5745), 323.7 UHF, or Channel 83A to provide emergency
assistance. BLACKBURN will coordinate the appropriate emergency
response.
e. All units that operate military small boats or amphibious
craft must ensure they comply with all standard procedures and common
courtesy such as no wake zones, water craft speed, trash, with
particular attention to the entire New River, AIWW, Sneads Ferry
Bridge, Onslow Beach Bridge, and Mile Hammock Bay to prevent damaging
civilian watercraft and property. At no time will any trash,
ammunition dunnage such as brass, links, or live ammunition be
disposed of by dumping in the water.
f. VHF Channel 16 is not authorized for general communication on
the water while conducting the range sweep. VHF Channel 16 is for
Hailing and Distress communication only for short and direct
communications and then shift to other assigned frequencies.
3. H Range, E-1 RANGE, N-1/BT-3, and Naval Gunfire Range Sweeps
When the H Range, E-1 Range, N-1/BT-3 Impact Area, or naval gunfire
are scheduled in RFMSS, BLACKBURN will coordinate a range sweep in
accordance with the following procedures:
8-6 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
a. When the sweep aircraft checks in with BLACKBURN on 233.8 UHF
(primary), 119.5 (alternate), or 34.70 VHF, BLACKBURN will contact the
Navy Guard Boats and the shooting unit, providing the sweep aircraft’s
call sign.
b. Navy Guard Boat 1 will be located in the vicinity of grid
932295 in the AIWW abeam Onslow North Tower. It will have a Blue
flashing light and flying the Bravo Flag (red flag).
c. Navy Guard Boat 2 will be located in the vicinity of Bear
Tower Grid 976-341 in the AIWW. It will have a blue flashing light
and flying the Bravo flag.
d. Navy Speedboat (Speedy) will be located in the AIWW during the
sweep.
e. BLACKBURN will read the following safety brief to the sweep
aircraft: "Sweep the N-1/BT-3 impact area from the AIWW to four miles
seaward. Sweep the marshes, creeks, and AIWW between North Onslow
Beach Tower (Grid 931-288), Bear Tower (grid 974-342), and Bear Inlet
(Grid 003-331). Sweep the beach between North Onslow Beach Tower and
Bear Inlet as well as four miles seaward. Report any sea mammal
sightings to BLACKBURN. Report personnel and surface craft contacts
to Navy Guard Boat with minimum four digit grid. Do you have any
questions at this time?"
f. BLACKBURN will ask the sweep aircraft to contact the Navy
Guard Boat on CH 16 (Marine VHF common) expecting a further switch to
CH 72 to discuss contacts. If unable to establish and/or maintain
communication with Navy Boats on CH-16 (156.800) or CH-72 (156.625)
the sweep aircraft will contact BLACKBURN. Military aircraft without
Marine VHF radio capability may establish communications with Navy
Boats on 34.70 FM. If any aircraft is unable to establish
communications with Navy Boats, BLACKBURN will relay all findings to
Navy Boats.
g. When the sweep is complete, the aircraft will be held on
station until BLACKBURN can verify with the ROIC/RSO and the Navy
Guard Boat the area is clear and they are satisfied with the sweep.
If the ROIC/RSO and the Navy Guard Boat are satisfied with the sweep,
BLACKBURN will state to the aircraft: "I understand you had positive
communication with the Navy Guard Boats. Confirm you have identified
all sea mammal sightings to BLACKBURN and all personnel and surface
craft contacts to Navy Guard Boats."
h. Chapter 2 discusses the rules for avoiding marine/sea mammals
in and around the water impact area/assigned live fire ranges.
i. BLACKBURN will ask the sweep aircraft for requested route and
clear if possible.

5. Naval Gunfire
a. Purpose
(1) In order to enhance the level of training for Shore Fire
Control Party(s) (SFCP) assigned to 10th Marines and other Marine
units (MARSOC Units, MEUs, ANGLICO, etc.) that are required to
maintain proficiency in delivery of Naval Surface Fire Support (NSFS),
the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ has authorized NSFS firing from qualified
ships (as defined below) into the G-10 Impact Area. To ensure the
safe conduct of SFCP/NSFS training, this chapter prescribes procedures
/polices for the planning, coordination, and firing of NSFS aboard
Camp Lejeune.
(2) The following is a list of general references that will be
used when NSFS is used/fired at Camp Lejeune/G-10 Impact Area:

conducting SFCP/NSFS training aboard Camp Lejeune. The CG MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ is the only approval authority for deviation from this Order.
c. General
(1) Inert ordnance (Training Practice) is not cleared for fire
into the G-10 Impact Area and will not be used.
(2) Prior to firing, the ROIC, RSO, and/or Naval Gunfire
Liaison Officer (NGLO) shall conduct a Face-to-Face, VTC, or
conference call range safety brief with the scheduled firing ship(s).
This brief will be conducted within 30 days of the Naval Gunfire live-
fire event. The purpose of this brief is to ensure shipboard
personnel are cognizant of range safety requirements, procedures, and
scheduled training events. Unit conducting NSFS must release a NSFS
Pre-fire message at least three working days (72 hours) before the
scheduled event and ensure the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ G-3/5 is listed
on the message routing.

(3) Prior to firing into the G-10 Impact Area, the supporting
ship(s) must conduct a Pre-Action Calibration Fire (PACFIRE) seaward
in order to verify 5”/54 or 5”/62 gun system operation, check
meteorological data, determine Initial Salvo Velocity (ISV) and
conduct barrel warming. Results of this PACFIRE must be updated into
the ship’s fire control computer and verified by Gunfire Liaison
Officer (GLO) prior to any firing into G-10. The ship must also
conduct a GPS check of the gun/ship before conducting any live-fire
into the G-10 Impact Area. The ship is responsible for scheduling the
W-122 airspace and water space with the Atlantic Fleet Exercise
Coordination Center and FASFAC VACAPES and air sweep.
(4) The initial fire mission into the G-10 impact area will be
a single shot at center grid registration adjust mission to ensure
accuracy of gun and spot corrections are having desired effect. TGT 8
will normally be used for this fire mission and the firing ship/ships
must avoid the two published No Fire Areas (NFAs).
(5) In accordance with this Order, the ROIC/RSO and the
participating ship(s) will maintain two-way communications with
BLACKBURN at all times, on frequencies designated in paragraph 5c(7)
below, while the range is in a “HOT” status.
(6) Prior to live-fire, a non-firing rehearsal utilizing
reference (j) geography shall be conducted. The references are listed
on page 8-9 for NGF. This rehearsal may be conducted while en-route
to Camp Lejeune/Onslow Bay.
(7) Ships are responsible for maintaining clearance of water
surface area 350 meters from ship along the GTL.
(8) Ships are cleared for overhead fire beyond the 350-meter
point. Ships must verify munitions to be fired are cleared for
overhead fire per reference (e). The references are listed on page

Note: The areas must be marked on the map by the SFCP team and ship.
(11) NSFS Spotters/Observers will normally be placed at a
vantage point perpendicular to the GTL in order to adjust fires.
Primary OP will be OP-5/G-3 Berm, but other OPs, such as OP-2/OP-3/
OP-14, may be utilized if scheduled and signed for when training more
than one SFCP/Spot Team.
(12) No intentional discharge of ordnance into the water is
permitted.
(13) Naval vessels will not discard refuse/trash overboard or
pump bilges while in the vicinity of Camp Lejeune/Onslow Bay.
(14) Ships must report number and type by DODIC of
rounds/fuses expended to the ROIC/RSO (NGLO) at end of training. This
information will then be forwarded to BLACKBURN/Range Control along
with number of Marines/Sailors trained. The NGLO will update the
Naval Gunfire Usage spreadsheet as required within 48 hours after the
event and submit the spreadsheet to BLACKBURN/Range Control.
(15) Ships must maintain a constant lookout (visual and radar)
for low flying aircraft and surface vessels that may interfere with
the live-fire training event.
(16) USCG regulations require that the AIWW between Onslow
Beach Bridge and Bear Tower be closed to routine marine traffic during
NSFS live-firing events. Camp Lejeune will coordinate with U.S. Coast
Guard for issuance of applicable Broadcast NOTMARs (BNTM) 30 days in
advance, Broadcast Warnings, and schedule the Navy Boat Crew to
enforce the closure.
(17) State Highway 172 aboard Camp Lejeune will be closed
between the intersections with Sneads Ferry Road (south) and Lyman
Road (north) during all NSFS live-firings. The unit(s) conducting
training is/are responsible for providing the personnel and equipment
required to accomplish the Highway 172 closure. At a minimum, eight
personnel and one NCOIC with VHF communications gear and
transportation will be employed. The following checkpoints will be
established prior to and maintained throughout any live-fire with four
road guards (positioned in groups of two) that are briefed on duties
at each site listed below: This is subject to change due to other
requirements/positions
(a) Intersection of Highway 172 and Sneads Ferry Road
(mechanical gate with flashing lights installed and orange cones
placed out).
(b) Intersection of Highway 172 and Lyman Road (mechanical
gate with flashing lights installed and orange cones/barriers).
8-13 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

(c) At ETA-4 and Sneads Ferry Road (Gate to be locked or a
Road Guard(s) must be posted).
(d) At Freeman Creek Landing and Highway 172. This Road
Guard(s) also serves as a lookout on Highway 172 for vehicles that
have by-passed gates.
(e) Close and lock gate at TLZ Goose.
(18) Two-way communications between all four checkpoints and
the ROIC/RSO (NGLO) must be maintained continuously while the range is
“HOT.”
(19) Additionally, road guards will be deployed at least one
hour prior to commencement of live-fire in order to thoroughly sweep
Highway 172, Freeman’s Creek Road, and boat launch areas prior to
Highway 172 closure. It is the ROIC/RSO’s responsibility to ensure
that all detour signs and the two gates are properly displayed in a
down position and lights are properly functioning before going “HOT.”
After the training event, all signs and gates need to be returned to
the up position and cones removed. This operation must be checked and
supervised by the ROIC/RSO (NGLO).
(20) When available, a NGLO will be placed on the firing unit
of a U.S. ship during live-fire in order to facilitate a safe
evolution. A U.S. Military NGLO is required for all foreign ships
shooting into the G-10. All ships shall have reference (j) (The
references listed on page 8-9 for NGF) to easily communicate grid
locations with BLACKBURN. NGLO shall ensure ships have reference (j)
The references are listed on page 8-9 for NGF) prior to going to ship
so he can bring one if necessary.
d. Safety
(1) Every person involved in this training is a safety officer
and can initiate a “CHECK-FIRE,” when an unsafe condition or act is
observed. Only the ROIC/RSO (NGLO) may ask to cancel a “CHECK FIRE.”
(2) Unlike artillery, naval gunfire does not depend on the
angle of fire to control the angle of fall. Due to the ballistics of
naval gunfire and the related trajectory, the angle of fall for naval
gunfire is a function of range. As such, the only approved Fire
Support Area (FSA) for NSFS into G-10 Impact Area is bounded by the
following coordinates:
(a) 3429.33N4-07714.61W6 (GRID 18STD94001865)
(b) 3432.31N6-07708.44W0 (GRID 18SUD03552395)

(d) 3427.89N3-07713.62W6 (GRID 18STD95451595)
(3) This FSA ensures a minimum range of 14,000 meters (14 km)
to the near boundary of the G-10 Impact Area and an angle of fall
greater than 20 degrees.
NOTE: Naval Gunfire is not authorized into the G-10 NFA (UCAS Site,
Lego City) or GBU-24 NFA.
(4) The maximum height (ordinate) of the NSFS shall not exceed
17,999 ft. MSL.
(5) The ROIC/RSO (NGLO) is responsible for determining the
minimum and maximum GTL relative to the assigned FSA. These will be
between 309-353 degrees true.
(6) The above standards are normally not negotiable and are in
place to preclude lower round trajectory resulting in a higher
skipping probability.
(7) An immediate “CHECK-FIRE” will be called for any of the
following reasons:
(a) Loss of communications between spotters and firing
unit (ship); or ROIC/RSO, firing unit (ship) and BLACKBURN; or
ROIC/RSO and all road guards;
(b) Targets within the (G-10 Impact Area) that are NOT
visible to spotters;
(c) Range foulers (i.e., land, sea, or air; sea mammals,
boats, turtles, aircraft, ground units, etc.);
(d) Gun or Gun Fire Control System casualty;
(e) Gun sight angle less than 15°;
(f) GTL outside safe firing limits;
(g) Marine mammals within 100 ft. of ship; and
(h) Whales, turtles, or manatees within 500 yards of ship.

b. Other Considerations. Parachute Ops (free fall only) within
five nm of any range shuts down that range.
c. Special Instructions. See Appendix I. Personnel Requirements
for Combined Arms/TACP Shoot.
(1) Fixed-Wing Aircraft
(a) Fixed Wing Aircraft must use Control Points/IPs and
run-in headings as contained in Chapter 4 of this Order.
(b) Authorized ammunition is MK76, BDU33, BDU45, and MK80
series inert bombs, LGTR, 2.75 inch rockets, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm
delivered at 20 degrees or greater dive angle, and AC-130 20mm, 30mm,
40mm, and 105mm. Ammunition (TP only) for the UCAS Facility is listed
separately in paragraph 6. UCAS is scheduled separately from G-10.
(c) The minimum altitude for fixed-wing operations inside
the restricted area is 3000’ AGL (coordinating altitude). Fixed wing
operations below the 3000’ AGL coordinating altitude (i.e. strafing
runs/low altitude ingress) are authorized when deconflicted from non-
participating rotary-wing/tiltrotary-wing operations with lateral and
altitude separation. Fixed-wing shall not overfly occupied BPs and
HAs.
(d) The master arm shall not be “armed” until sights are
on the target and “cleared hot” is given by the Terminal Controller.

APPENDIX C
OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT
1. Purpose. To establish ORM procedures in accordance with
references (f), (bm), and (bn) and as an integral part of non-live-
fire training, live-fire training, naval operations, other training
and planning as directed at all levels of command in order to optimize
operational capability, readiness, and enhance mission accomplishment.
All commanders will apply ORM procedures and develop safety control
measures for all phases of training and must complete an ORM Worksheet
that is signed, reviewed, and onsite/on the range for the training
event.
2. ORM is a decision making process that enhances operational
capability and risk reduction. Risk management and risk assessment
are formal, essential tools of operational planning. Sound decision-
making requires the use of these tools, both in battle and training.
It is a method for identifying hazards, assessing risks, and
implementing controls to reduce the risks associated with any and all
operations or training events. Units are required to conduct ORM for
all high risk training.
3. These instructions apply to all Marine Corps units and other
service units that use Camp Lejeune live-fire ranges, non-live-fire
training in all TAs, and other related training facilities.
4. Basic Principles of ORM
a. Accept risk when the benefits outweigh the cost.
b. Accept no unnecessary risk.
c. Anticipate and manage risk by planning.
d. Make risk decisions at the appropriate command level.
5. Unit commanders will:
a. Implement the ORM process within their command when conducting
live-fire, non-live-fire, conducting training in training facilities
and all other phases of training aboard Camp Lejeune.
b. Incorporate identified hazards, risk assessments, and controls
into written operation orders and plans for live-fire events.
c. Conduct a thorough risk assessment for all new or complex
evolutions (Live-Fire Movement/Maneuver Events/High Risk Training
Events) and define acceptable risk and possible contingencies for the
evolution.
C-1 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

d. Address the ORM process in safety, training, and lessons
learned reports to the RSS as directed.
e. Inform the chain of command as to what hazard cannot be
controlled or mitigated at their command level.
f. Submit to Range Control a signed/reviewed ORM worksheet with
each formal letter for Special Range Request/Jane and John Wayne
Day/Warrior Night/Mess Night/A Day in Their Boots Day or any other
letters being submitted to Range Control. All pages of the ORM
worksheet must be signed by unit CO or “By direction.”
g. Review references (f), (bm), and (bn) for additional
information/guidance on ORM.
6. Sources of Cause Factors from Accidents and Injuries. Individual
48 percent, Leader 18 percent, Standards 18 percent, Training
Standards percent, and Support 8 percent.

Identify Hazards - Identify hazards by reviewing METT-T
factors for the Mission or Tasks. Additional factors
include historical lessons learned, experience, judgment,
equipment/weapon characteristics and warnings, and
environmental considerations.
G
Assess HazardsAssessment includes historical lessons
learned, intuitive analyses, experience, judgment,
equipment/weapon characteristics and warnings, and
environmental considerations. Determine initial risk for
each hazard by applying risk assessment matrix. Enter the
risk level for each hazard into the worksheet.
H
Develop ControlsDevelop one or more controls for each
hazard that will either eliminate the hazard or reduce the
risk (probability and/or severity) of a hazardous incident.
Specify who, what, where, why, when, and how for each
control. Enter controls into the worksheet.
I
Determine Residual RiskDetermine the residual risk for
each hazard by applying the risk assessment matrix. Enter
the residual risk level for each hazard into the worksheet.
J
Implement ControlsDecide how each control will be put
into effect or communicated to the personnel who will make
it happen (written or verbal instruction: tactical, safety,
garrison, SOPs, rehearsals, battle drills). Enter controls
into the worksheet.
K
Determine Overall Mission/Task Risk LevelSelect the
highest residual risk level and circle it. This becomes the
overall mission or task risk level. The Commander decides
whether the controls are sufficient to accept the level of
residual risk. If the risk is too great to continue the
mission or task, the commander directs development of
additional controls or modifies, changes, or rejects the
courses of action.
L
Supervise and Evaluate - The last step is not on the
worksheet. Plan how each control will be monitored for
implementation (continuous supervise, spot-checks, inspect,
command presence, after action review) and reassess hazards
as the situation changes. Determine if the controls worked
and if they can be improved. Pass on the lessons learned.
7. Overall Mission/Task Risk Level
(1) Extremely High: Loss of ability to accomplish the mission
if hazards occur during mission execution. A frequent or likely
probability of catastrophic loss or frequent probability of critical
loss exists.

(2) High: Significant degradation of mission capabilities in
terms of required mission standard, inability to accomplish all parts
of the mission, or inability to complete the mission to standard if
hazards occur during mission. Occasional to seldom probability exists
of a critical loss exists. Frequent probability of marginal losses
exists.
(3) Moderate: Expected degraded mission capabilities in terms
of the required mission standard; will have a reduced mission
capability if hazards occur during mission. An unlikely probability
of catastrophic loss exists.
(4) Low: Expected losses have little or no impact on
accomplishing the mission. The probability of critical loss is
unlikely, while marginal loss is seldom or unlikely. The probability
of a negligible loss is likely or of personal injury.

APPENDIX D
GREATER SANDY RUN AREA TRAINING COMPLEX (GSRA)
1. General
a. Background. The GSRA Training Complex is a 41,000 plus acres
of training areas. It consists largely of cutover timber, pine
plantations, large areas of wetlands and a pocosin swamp. Within the
GSRA (southern part) is Camp Davis, a WWII Army Airfield (Camp Davis
North and South Runways) and training facilities and live-fire ranges
located within. The airfield consists of a road network and two
runways with supporting taxiways. NO DUD PRODUCING ORDNANCE
/PYROTECHNICS/SMOKE/CS ARE AUTHORIZED IN THE GSRA TRAINING COMPLEX.
All units must police and remove all trash, ammunition dunnage from
the RTAs and training facilities.
b. Location. The GSRA Training Complex is located within Onslow
County. The town of Verona is located adjacent to the northeastern
boundary of GSRA. Highway 17 is a common eastern boundary. Highway
17 along this boundary includes three underpasses, allowing grade-
separated access from Camp Lejeune to the GSRA. Padgett, Haws Run,
Dawson Cabin, and High Hill Roads make up the northern boundaries. NC
Highway 50 makes up the western boundary.
c. Threatened and Endangered Species. Pocosin areas in the GSRA
have long functioned as de facto wildlife refuges in coastal North
Carolina as more suitable areas were developed for human habitation or
use. Fauna of these areas is typical of that indigenous to the
southern U.S. coastal plain. In addition to the many species of
birds, fish, amphibians, and small mammals, which occur naturally
within the pocosin and surrounding uplands, larger animals such as
bobcats, black bear, turkeys, and white-tail deer, are present.
Because the GSRA is widely used by local hunters, public safety is
always a concern especially during hunting season.
d. Ranges, TAs, and Training Facilities
(1) General. The GSRA Training Complex presently contains six
live-fire ranges (SR-6, SR-7, SR-8, SR-9, SR-10 and SR-11), 22
training and maneuvering areas, ten tactical landing zones, one (1)
para-drop zone, and two airfield seizure facilities (AFSC North and
AFSC South), one Forward Operating Base (GSRA FOB) and the Home
Station Lane Training Complex (JIEDDO HSLTC/SR-12). Other ranges and
training facilities are scheduled to be developed and constructed in
the future and additional correspondence will be released to address
those new ranges and facilities as required.

training scenarios in assault and seizure tactics of a runway. These
structures consist of two mock hangars with dummy aircraft, a mock
control tower, a mock terminal building, and a mock maintenance
building evenly distributed along the two airfields. The cinder block
structures are only building shells containing no equipment, offices,
or providing any other functional services other than their usefulness
as a training device. Buildings are placed as realistically as
possible including appropriate airfield safety setbacks so they will
not represent a hazard to air traffic at Camp Davis. There are two
(2) old A-4 and (2) F-4 aircraft located at the airfield. Units are
not authorized to move these aircraft. The AFSC must be scheduled in

APPENDIX E
SPECIAL RANGE REQUEST (SRR) FORMAT
1. Purpose of a Special Range Requests. A SRR is required whenever
the training unit desires to use a TA, training facility, or live-fire
range for purposes other than what is identified in this Order or the
Range Cards. As such, the submission of a formal letter of a SRR
shall be related to a truly unique training requirement or training
standard/need. Approval and execution of a SRR may require manual
manipulation of the RFMSS, which preempts the software’s ability to
deconflict routine safety issues/concerns, and could require other TAs
and live-fire ranges to be in a cold status or deconflicted by the
unit and Range Control.
2. Examples Requiring a Special Range Request
a. Use of ALZs/TLZs and designated priority of use facilities
(TLZ Phoenix, Camp Davis Airfield, Oak Grove Airfield, and TLZ
Pheasant) require approval (written/e-mail) from a cognizant authority
of the respective unit with confirmation notification via e-mail to
Range Control for entry into RFMSS.
b. Using live-fire and maneuver training on static live-fire
ranges or as per the Range Cards. (e.g., Fire and Maneuver on F-18,
CBC G-6, Mobile MOUT Live-Fire, or MAC-3).
c. Firing large caliber dud/noise producing weapons (40mm and
above) between the hours of 2359 to 0600. Firing beyond established
quiet hours on all Sundays between 2359 to 1200 for all weapon
systems. (Small arms are authorized to fire past 2359 depending on
the location/range and day). SR-7 is not authorized to conduct live-
fire past 2359 as an example.
d. Use of the MOUT Complexes/Facilities/or live-fire ranges
beyond prescribed contractor support times.
e. Employing a weapon system/ammunition other than those
identified in this Order and the Range Cards for a specific range
which would be based on the SDZ. Will the requested weapon system and
ammunition SDZ fit within the SDZ for that range? Can the SDZ be
safely mitigated?
f. Requesting to use improvised demolitions or conducting night
demolitions training.
g. Special events like Mess Nights (with or without alcoholic
beverages, with or without underage drinking), Warrior Nights (with
or without alcoholic beverages or with or without underage drinking),
Family Days, A Day in their Boots, and Jane/John Wayne Days are other
examples. Underage drinking must be approved via the units chain of
E-1 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
command (S-1/G-1) 30 days in advance as separate correspondence and a
copy provided to Range Control at least 24 hours before the scheduled
event for the underage drinking approval.
3. SRR Submission and Format
a. Prior to submitting the SRR, the unit must schedule the RTA or
training facility via RFMSS. If scheduled as a special event the unit
must ensure it is scheduled that way in RFMSS. This precludes Range
Control from reviewing an SRR that cannot be approved because the TA,
training facility, or live-fire range has not been scheduled in RFMSS
and another unit has it scheduled.
b. The SRR with reviewed and signed ORM matrix/worksheet must be
signed on all pages and submitted to the CG MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ.
(RCD). All SRRs must be routed for endorsement in a timely fashion
through the Unit’s chain of command. Hand delivery to Range Control
is the preferred method. LIVE-FIRE SRRs MUST HAVE BATTALION/SQUADRON
LEVEL OPERATIONS SECTION ENDORSEMENT WITH SIGNED AND REVIEWED ORM
WORKSHEET AND SHOULD BE RECEIVED AT RANGE CONTROL AT LEAST 30 WORKING
DAYS PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF INTENDED TRAINING. II MEF units must
have it to II MEF (G-7) at least 37 days in advance. This lead-time
provides the Range Control Range Safety Specialist adequate time to
view the request and refine any safety parameters as required. Other
time constraints associated with training on Camp Lejeune include the
closure of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (60 working days notice
to obtain air sweep support) or activation of the R5306D/E and
R5303/R5304 (GSRA air space) (One and two days notice to obtain air
space must also be factored into the timeline).
c. Use the following sequence of paragraphs to ensure all
required information is submitted:
(1) Paragraph 1. State the standard purpose for the range,
training facility, or TA and nature of the SRR usage requested. State
the range/training/area facility has been scheduled in RFMSS.
(a) Example. TLZ Falcon: TLZs are used for rotary-
wing/tiltrotary-wing operations. 2d Tank Bn requests to conduct tank
maneuver training and command post operations. TLZ Falcon is
scheduled for 1215 December 20XX in RFMSS.
(b) Example. F-18 is a static firing range. 1st Bn, 8th
Mar requests to conduct live-fire and maneuver training. F-18 is
scheduled for 1213 Jan 20XX in RFMSS.
(2) Paragraph 2. State the weapons/weapons system and all
ammunition to be employed. List all ammunition by DODIC.
(3) Paragraph 3. Describe the scheme of maneuver (SOM) to be
employed. Provide a detailed narrative that sequentially lays out the
E-2 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
phases of the training to be conducted, including the planned timeline
(day/night) for the scheduled events.
(4) Paragraph 4. Provide an ORM matrix worksheet that is
signed. Identify the increased risk that may be incurred and the
steps to be taken that will mitigate/control the known risks.
(Example of mitigation: Assigning an increased number of PSOs
/Assistant RSOs (ARSO) during live-fire maneuver exercises). The ORM
matrix must be signed and reviewed by the command conducting the high
risk event. The ORM worksheet can be found in this Order as an
example.
(5) Paragraph 5. Identify the Surface Danger Zones (SDZs).
This requirement may be waived if all live-fire and effects from live-
fire are within the approved SDZ for that range/facility.
(a) Identify the SDZ/WDZ for each weapon system
/ammunition being used.
1. Include a 1:50,000 scale for SDZ, which can be
received from Range Control.
2. Include the following information for SDZ
i. Map designation
ii. Originator’s name
iii. Originator’s rank/billet
iv. Weapons/Weapon System
v. Ammunition type by DODIC
vi. Distance
vii. List of appropriate grids
viii. List of appropriate azimuths (in degrees)
ix. Primary direction of fire (in degrees)
x. SDZ/WDZ information if required
(b) Example. SDZ for the M240B, M16A2/M4, and MK-153
SMAW are provided as enclosures (1), (2), and (3) (of the SRR).

appropriate unit’s (Bn/Sqdn, Regt/MAG Div/MAW/MEU) S-3/G-3 Operations
/Training Sections. SRRs submitted by non-infantry units, shall be
reviewed for correctness and accuracy by an Inter-Service Resident
Range Safety Course graduate (Intermediate Level). Live-fire SRR SDZs
shall be reviewed by a Marine Gunner/S-3/Operations/Training Section
of the using unit for accuracy and correctness (infantry units only).
This ensures a Bn/Sqdn S-3 level unit has reviewed and approved the
training requirements.
5. Assistance. Range Control can provide assistance in the
conceptual development of the SRR and in most cases provide previously
approved SRRs of a similar nature. However, due to the large number
of SRRs submitted, Range Control cannot be expected to create the
required SDZs or do the required risk assessment (ORM worksheet) for
the unit.

APPENDIX F
ELECTRONIC WARFARE/DEFENSIVE MEASURE
1. General. The East Coast Electronic Warfare Systems Branch (RS 25)
of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona Division, located
aboard MCAS Cherry Point, operates electronic warfare threat and
signals simulators at approved locations within Camp Lejeune.
Formally known and still referred to as the Mid-Atlantic Electronic
Warfare Range or MAEWR with callsign “BullRun”, the purpose of RS 25
is to provide realistic Electronic Warfare (EW) training to combat
aircrews. Both MAEWR and the MCAS Cherry Point Range Management
Division, callsign “BIG ROCK”, are co-located within Building 4280
aboard MCAS Cherry Point.
2. Background. The MAEWR operates EW threat and signals simulators
at MCOLF Atlantic, MCALF Bogue, BT-11 at Piney Island, Radio Island,
Navy Dare, and Pinecastle Range in Florida. Continuously changing
tactics, training, and procedures as a result of the lessons learned
in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Navy and Marine Corps’ renewed
emphasis on amphibious operations, as well as the introduction of UAS
platforms into the training environment have increased the demand for
EW training resources and areas at Camp Lejeune. The MAEWR EW Threat
Systems Aircrew User’s Guide is available to all aircrews to use as an
EW training guide. Contact the EW Mission Coordinators to request a
copy.
a. Available EW Threats And Signals. The MAEWR’s Aircrew User’s
Guide lists the assorted EW threat simulators available for training.
EW threat simulators include early warning and long range acquisition
radars, short and medium range Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs), various
Anti-Aircraft Artillery (AAA) systems, as well as short range IR/UV
missile simulators, MANPADS, and AAA Strobe light simulators.
b. Scheduling EW Training
(1) Units requesting electronic warfare training shall notify
the Range Control Officer 10 working days before the scheduled
training event. All EW training requests shall be entered into the
Lejeune RFMSS by the requesting unit after coordination with EW
Mission Coordinators at MCAS Cherry Point by calling 252-466-2123 or
DSN 252-2123. All units are responsible for scheduling all requested
TAs using RFMSS. This will ensure there will be no live-fire being
conducted in ground TAs. Adjacent or adjoining airspace coordination
and scheduling is done through the Range Management Division, using
MCAS Cherry Point RFMSS for other areas within the Cherry Point
Operating Area and/or for use of the W122 by contacting Fleet Forces
Atlantic Exercise Coordination Center (FACSFAC VACAPES), callsign
“Giant Killer” at (757) 433-1320/1220 or DSN 433-1320/1220.
F-1 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1
7 NOV 2014
(2) At the discretion of the RCO, ground TAs may be scheduled
on a co-user basis depending on the type of EW training being
conducted.
(3) Training events that may cause the closure of the Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway, or the N-1/BT-3 impact area must be scheduled
at least 65 days in advance.
(4) Upon completion of training, units will report to
BLACKBURN the type of aircraft that received EW training and the
number of aircrew aboard.
c. Threat Emitter Sites. The selected sites listed below have
been optimized for training support. Sites 1, 2, and 3 were created
to support unit level training for the MCAS New River based squadrons
and MEU/C2X/JTFEX training. Sites 4-14 were created to provide
additional unit level training capabilities.

e. Tactical Shapes
(1) The MAEWR provides movable towed tactical shapes
incorporating realistic size, color schemes, and multi-spectral cues,
as a low-cost, light weight, environmentally-friendly target solution
for various range applications. Due to the high replacement costs of
these targets they shall not be used for live-fire training or be
emplaced in live-fire areas. However, they may be used to simulate
OPFOR representations or provide a threat presence to ground personnel
engaged in tactical training operations. Primarily they will be used
in conjunction with electronic warfare and air reconnaissance. Photos
of these shapes are in the MAEWR’s Aircrew User’s Guide.
(2) Multi-spectral cues include:
(a) Visual 3-D representation (full scale) created by
using Solid (olive drab or desert sand) or Camouflage (forest or
desert) paint.
(b) Radar signature (representative radar cross section
(RCS).
(c) IR Signature created by using metal mesh under shape
framing to generate heat differentials with ambient air.
(d) Doppler signature created by rotating antennas.
f. Use of Smokey Sams for Training
(1) The use of the GTR-18 (Smokey SAM) pyrotechnic simulator
has been authorized for use aboard Camp Lejeune during the conduct of
defensive measures training for aircrews. The GTR-18 (Smokey SAM)
provides a visual cue to aircrews undergoing defensive measures
training. Requests to use the GTR-18 (Smokey SAM) will be included in
the special range request submitted to the RCO. At no time will the
GTR-18 (Smokey SAM) be utilized aboard Camp Lejeune without the
express approval of the RCO.
(a) Responsibility. When conducting training with the
GTR-18 (Smokey SAM) it shall be the responsibility of each CO to
ensure that only qualified and certified personnel operate the GTR-18
(Smokey SAM). The following safety requirements will be adhered to at
all times. No deviations are authorized without the express approval

Checkout the assigned range(s)/facility(ies) from Range Control by
noontime (1200) the day before, except on Fridays or up to eight days
in advance. The ROIC must have his ROIC/RSO Card with him/her and
be on the Unit’s current command certification letter/roster.
Assume responsibility for the scheduled range, related airspace, and
training facility and all gear assigned or signed for.
Be completely familiar with the Camp Lejeune Special Military
Installation Map (MIM), reference (a), MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1 (RC
SOP), Range Cards, Weapons TMs and other required orders/references
before reporting to Range Control.
Obtain or certify possession of required safety equipment (range
regulations (SOP), range flag, and keys).
Receive a briefing from Camp Lejeune, Range Control on conditions or
events that may affect your range utilization such as any conflicts
that must be deconflicted by the using unit.
Certify that all pertinent range and safety regulations have been
read, understood, and are complied with at all times.
Ensure appropriate medical support (properly equipped Corpsman
/Medic/Contractor EMT) and government safety vehicle are present with
the unit and that all personnel are wearing the proper safety (PPE)
equipment for that type of training being conducted.
Ensure that the impact area or range is clear of all personnel and
that all safety measures directed by this Order and the assigned
Range Card have been taken (e.g., use of barriers, posting of air
sentries, posting of range gate guards when necessary to deny access
to the range/impact area).
O-1 Enclosure (1)
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJO 3570.1

Ensure that two means of communications are utilized between the unit
conducting training and Range Control (e.g., AN/PRC-152/AN/PRC-152 or
unit assigned hand held radios). The responsibility for proper
communications with Range Control rests with the training
unit/ROIC/RSO. The frequencies used by Range Control can be found in
this Order. If a cell phone is to be used, it must be pre-arranged
and it will only be used as a secondary communication method and a
connection must be able to be established from Range Control to the
cell phone being used as the alternate means.
Ensure radio checks are made to Range Control every 30 minutes, on
the half-hour, while in a “HOT” status. The ROIC/RSO will provide
the final radio check when displacing. Training units will establish
their own internal communications network for all administrative
needs (road guards, etc.). Range Control will not provide radios or
communication networks for internal communication needs. Mandatory
radio checks are required with BLACKBURN at 0600, 1400, and 2200.
Ensure all applicable safety precautions are taken for that properly
scheduled in RFMSS event.
Conduct a joint inventory of the A&E (Ammunition) at the range with
personnel delivering the A&E.
The ROIC/RSO will compare their inventory against what is reflected
on the appropriate ASP issue document and verify that the lot number
on every container matches the lot number on the issue document.
Open all containers that are not factory sealed and visually inspect
the ammunition and explosives to ensure the contents correspond with
what is indicated on the issuing document.
Ensure ammunition and explosives are properly handled, transported,
stored, and accounted for within the training complex from the time
of receipt to the time of expenditure or turn-in in accordance with
appropriate service level directives.
Ensure plans for firing exercises and maneuvers are coordinated with
the Camp Lejeune, RCO as scheduled for in RFMSS. The ROIC will
coordinate with the RCO/BLACKBURN and units using adjacent ranges or
facilities to ensure safe conduct of training. Deconfliction of
airspace with the air detachment or any aircraft on-station will be
conducted with the assistance of the unit Air Officer and BLACKBURN.
