Shooting Range Design

WRA has years of experience in Shooting Range Design.

The Army has many fixed live-fire ranges located on various installations. The optimum training area is on that provides feedback and realism (life-like targetry, freedom to maneuver; battle sounds, and so on ). A shooting range has the most potential to meet these requirements However, a it may be difficult to obtain shooting range design at different installations, and it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare. Military leaders must determine which tasks the unit needs to train. Each type and size unit has different training needs. Even like units will focus on training different task because of varying degrees of proficiency. The decision on what to train helps determine where to train a unit on live-fire skills.

The Army's philosophy is to train combat readiness, which includes-
-Establishing a commander's maneuver area or box where the leader can select the direction and method of fire and maneuver based on METT-T.
- Integrating all organic and nonorganic (direct and indirect weapons systems and personnel.
- Exercising all combat-related activities (for example, casualty collection and evacuation and combat service support) to include platoon slice elements to support squad training and company slide elements to support platoon training.
- Using realistic targetry and return fire (MILES and simulators).

Everyone is responsible for safety during training. Range control supports the commander in the conduct of realistic live-fire exercises unhampered by artificial safety restrictions. Their primary concern is that no rounds exit the maneuver area, not the methods of fire integration and maneuver within the box.
