Our range rotations are probably every 4-6mos if you're not profis.Can you use a civilian-operated range (indoor ranges) for weapons qualification?2018-01-03T22:21:54-05:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3224143<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Range Qualification <br /><br />If you're assigned to a unit without assigned weapons/arms room or doesn't have frequent range rotations unless profis, can you qualify at a civilian operated range(indoor ranges) for weapons qualification?

No questions: approved Range, approved weapons System, Army ammo, and a legit score card you can take back to your unit.<br /><br />If you are unsure who to call, call Range Control and see who has the Ranges scheduled via the TRM process.Response by LTC Jason Mackay made Jan 3 at 2018 10:58 PM2018-01-03T22:58:11-05:002018-01-03T22:58:11-05:00TSgt David L.3224268<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That situation I haven't seen. I do know that you can't purchase civilian ammo and run it through military weapons. It seems like your situation should have been addressed by leadership long before it became an issue. <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="136036" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/136036-ltc-jason-mackay">LTC Jason Mackay</a> has it right, but again, it should be a higher up request it would seem. Good luck.Response by TSgt David L. made Jan 3 at 2018 11:12 PM2018-01-03T23:12:49-05:002018-01-03T23:12:49-05:00SSG Darrell Peters3224459<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>in short it depends on the Range. Any DOD Range yes. DOD Police Range for Example. These ranges usually publish their Requirements on their Web Page. A State Police Range are often used by National Guard troops as long as the State Police Range Meets Military Regulations. And of course proper agreements and paper work are completed. <br />Private Civilian Range. This is iffy. Although they are some that do meet Military Standards. Again this must be a Command Decision and the appropriate Memorandums, Agreements and Contracts must be obtained.Response by SSG Darrell Peters made Jan 4 at 2018 12:29 AM2018-01-04T00:29:40-05:002018-01-04T00:29:40-05:002018-01-03T22:21:54-05:00
