Do you have to wear a helmet on a qualification range?

Every range I have ever been on, the ACH has always been a requirement to be worn. Anyone walking onto the range....or at least past the safety line, HAD to be wearing their hard hat. This pic was taken at Camp Smith, NY just last month.

Actually it is the commanders call, I ran a range for 2 years, unless the post has an over riding rule usually something range control put in, the uniform for qualification is the commanders call.

Our unit only requires hearing and eye protection for qualifying. If we did reflexive fire where we are moving then we wore more, but qualifying was done in PC and no other gear. This is for both M-16 and M-9.

Never had to wear a brain bucket or vest, on the line, for the M9 or rifles. The only time I've ever had to wear more than eyes and ears was qualifying on the M-240B, .50, 25mm, 40mm launcher, and the Mk3A1.
