Units occupying the training areas will establish and maintain contact with CDJMTC Range Control. If a
rear detachment is used, the location, telephone number, and radio frequency of the rear detachment will be
provided to Range Control prior to the unit going out to the training areas. At a minimum, the using unit or the rear
detachment will have a PRC 127/SINCGARS radio and/or a telephone available to use for communications. Units
will maintain two forms of communications at all times. Telephone must be on, have consistent service, and be
answered for the duration of the training event and will be approved as primary communications use on a case by
case basis.
(1) Between the hours of 0700-2300, the using unit will make communications checks every hour with
Range Control to ensure communications are in place with units in the training areas.
(2) Between the hours of 2300-0700, the using unit will make communications checks with the Plans
and Operations to ensure communications are in place with units in the field.
b. Units occupying the ranges will use PRC 127/SINCGARS radios to establish and maintain contact with
Range Control. The channel to be used will be disseminated during the Range Briefing.
c. Range Control will initiate communications checks on an unscheduled basis.
(1) If a communications check is missed, the unit will be put in a check fire status until communications
are reestablished. Once communications are reestablished, the unit will be required to make communications checks

Chapter 2
Public Affairs
2-1. News release authority
The Public Affairs Office is the sole release authority for any news releases to the media. Department of Defense
(DoD) policy mandates the support of civilian news coverage during all phases of military operations. All media
requests for coverage of any training site need to be coordinated in advance through the Public Affairs Office. This
includes non-military operations at Iowa National Guard facilities. We will make every effort to ensure that we
provide accurate and timely information to the public through civilian news media and command information
channels consistent with operational security and personnel safety. Approval for media participation, civilian
guests, or fire demonstrations must be requested through Range Control prior to the event.
2-2. Public Affairs (PA) tasks
The primary tasks for the Public Affairs Office are as follows:
a. Facilitate media relations. Public Affairs will receive and coordinate media requests for access and
information, and perform or assist with media escort requirements.
b. Support media requests. Public Affairs will encourage and support media requests for unclassified, timely
and accurate information about operations conducted on Iowa National Guard training sites. Coordination with the
media must be made with Public Affairs prior to arrival at a training site. If news media arrive unscheduled at a
training location, military personnel must check with the Public Affairs Office before granting access to a training
site or area.
c. Conduct community relations. Public Affairs may conduct community relations and outreach programs to
include Public Affairs support of public recognition ceremonies and non-partisan events and dangers of impact areas
and unexploded ordnance.
2-3. Command policy
a. Routine command relationships apply:
(1) Responsibilities. Commanders will ensure that unit personnel are briefed on relevant Public Affairs
guidance for all media events and community relations activities scheduled at Iowa National Guard training areas.
(2) Public Affairs posture. The public affairs posture is passive unless otherwise stated in Public Affairs
guidance or directed by the State Public Affairs Officer.
(3) Command information. Iowa National Guard personnel and families will be informed and key
messages will be conveyed through publications and other internal communications methods. Operational security
aspects must be considered at all times.
b. The State Public Affairs Officer will be notified immediately when any traumatic event occurs at an Iowa
National Guard training site or area. This includes, but is not limited to: deaths, serious injuries, incidents, and
medical evacuations. In addition, the Public Affairs Officer will be notified when the media request access to an
Iowa National Guard training area or site. The Public Affairs Office will coordinate media access to any
facilities/training sites, handle media information requests or queries, assign a designated spokesperson as
appropriate, and provide media escorts.
2-4. Public Affairs Office
The Public Affairs Officer’s contact information will be maintained in the Installations Component and all Iowa
National Guard major subordinate command headquarters. This includes office, home, and cell phone numbers, and
e-mail address. Units will contact Plans and Operations office at 515-252-4576 for this information.
Chapter 3
Safety and Risk Management
3-1. Purpose
Establishes the requirements and procedures for integrating basic principles of Safety and Risk Management to be
used by all visiting and using units to CDJMTC.
15
3-2. Policy
The safety policy within CDJMTC is to provide the best possible training environment for using units. However,
safety should be first and foremost in everyone's mind. Safety is everyone's responsibility and does not rest solely
with one person. Losses in manpower, equipment and resources due to accidents, injuries and/or occupational
illnesses caused by unsafe practices are unacceptable. Every unit on CDJMTC must understand and employ accident
prevention such that safety consciousness becomes an integral part of their training. Proper and effective
supervision will help promote accident prevention and enhance more efficient training events. In short, safety is the
professional approach to accomplishing a training mission professionally. CDJMTC using units will use the
Composite Risk Management procedures to meet their mission objectives safely.
3-3. Scope
This chapter is applicable to all visiting and using units to CDJMTC. This chapter states the safety measures to be
used in all training and operations on CDJMTC in order to provide an accident free environment. Every Soldier has
a responsibility, not only to their unit, but also to themselves, to place safety first in all that they do. Ground safety
will be in compliance with the policy set forth in NGR 385-10.
3-4. Definitions
a. Risk Management - The process of identifying and controlling hazards to protect The Force.
b. Hazard - Any real or potential condition that can cause injury, illness or death of a Soldier, or loss or
damage to equipment and property.
c. Risk - Chance of a hazard or bad consequence, such as exposure to injury or loss, which could affect the
mission. Risk level is expressed in terms of hazard probability and severity.
d. Exposure - The frequency and length of time subjected to a hazard.
e. Severity - The expected consequence of an event, in terms of degree of injury, property damage, or other
mission impairing factors (loss of combat power, adverse publicity, etc.) that could occur.
f. Probability - The likelihood that an event will occur.
g. Controls - Actions taken to eliminate hazards or reduce their risks.
h. Countermeasures - Actions taken to counteract danger, threat, or hazards.
i. Risk decision - The decision to accept or not accept the risks associated with an action made by the
individual responsible for performing that action.
j. Risk Assessment - The first two steps of the Risk Management Process.
k. Gambling - The process of making risk decisions without using the risk management process.
3-5. Rules
Three rules guide the risk management process:
a. Accept no unnecessary risks. The leader who has the authority to accept a risk has the responsibility to
protect his Soldiers from unnecessary risks. An unnecessary risk is one that, if eliminated, still allows mission
accomplishment.
b. Make risk decisions at the appropriate level. The appropriate commander, see paragraph 3-11, will approve
the level of risk.
c. Accept risks if benefits outweigh the cost. Leaders must take necessary risks to accomplish the mission.
Leaders must understand that risk-taking requires a decision-making process that balances mission benefits with
cost.
3-6. Integration techniques
Two techniques are critical to maintaining unit battle focus, Hasty Risk Management at the section level and below,
and Deliberate/In-Depth Risk Management at the command level and higher.
a. Hasty risk management. Individual/Leader Risk Management (focuses on individual through the unit
command thought process to recognize hazards and take action to reduce risk). Use FM 6-22: The Army Leadership
problem solving, decision making and planning process. Identify the problem (hazard), gather information, develop
courses of action, analyze and compare actions, make a decision, develop a plan, and implement the plan. Memory
aids such as METT-TC and checklists help promote consistency.
b. Deliberate and in-depth risk management. Command echelons at the Section and higher use deliberate and
in-depth risk management and the decision-making process to integrate safety and risk assessment into planning and
operations. The commander directs the leaders to identify necessary risks and risk controls as “considerations
affecting the possible courses of action.” Leaders use the Composite Risk Management Worksheet (DA Form
7566) and memory aids such as METT-TC to promote consistency. The final commander’s estimate and concept
16
addresses significant risk, risk acceptance, elimination and controls. These decisions must be integrated directly into
MOIs, OPORDs, OPLANs, FRAGOs, SOPs, etc. Hazards should be identified in the Enemy paragraph and annexes
of military orders. Controls and Countermeasures can be integrated into the Execution paragraph in the coordinating
instructions or as tasks to subordinate units. Commanders must ensure dissemination and enforcement of risk
decisions, controls, and countermeasures down to the Soldier level.
3-7. Process
The safety and risk management process is outlined in FM 5-19. There are five steps to the risk management
process, which commanders and staff must do. These five steps are illustrated below (Figure 3-1):
Figure 3-1. The Five Step Risk Management Process
3-8. Risk Management
Risk is managed by disciplined, organized, and logical thought processes just like other aspects of military efforts.
In all cases, risk management and safety are chain of command issues that must enjoy the same priority for the
commander’s attention as do the training being conducted. The intent of risk management is to increase operational
efficiency and effectiveness by minimizing exposure of the unit to risk. During mission analysis, identify specific
risks associated with all specified and implied tasks. Determine the hazards causing these risks. Consideration of
METT-TC factors (Mission, Enemy, Troops, Terrain Time, and Civil Considerations) helps identify risks and is
crucial to the second step of assessing risks.
a. Identify Hazards. For example: A river crossing is anticipated while conducting a foot patrol. Some of the
environmental factors that define the hazards are water depth, current speed, water temperature, obstacles on and
under water, and changes in weather. Some of the human factors are swimming ability of the Soldiers and fatigue.
Checklists of hazards specific to the task being performed are helpful for quickly identifying the bulk of the mission
hazards.
b. Assess risk/evaluate hazards. METT-TC provides an excellent guideline of factors to consider in the risk
assessment. Consider the following elements: Mission complexity and difficulty; Enemy equates to specific
hazards identified; Terrain, all aspects of the physical environment, including weather and visibility; Troops,
supervision, experience, training, morale, endurance, and equipment; Time available for planning, preparation, and
execution; Civil Considerations in terms of area, structures, capabilities, organizations, people, and events. Based
on the above analysis, use the Risk Assessment Matrix (Figure 3-2) to develop an estimate of injury, equipment loss,
property damage and the likelihood of a hazard occurring.
c. Make decisions and develop controls. Make risk acceptance decisions by balancing risk benefits against
risk assessments, and eliminate unnecessary risks. Reduce the magnitude of mission-essential risks through the
application of controls. Be sure controls do not jeopardize mission accomplishment. Involve the chain of
command. If necessary risk controls will prevent assigned mission requirements. Think about basic standards of the
task, this thought process can help develop controls.
d. Implement controls. Integrate specific controls into plans, orders, SOPs, training performance standards,
and rehearsal. Knowledge of controls down to the individual Soldier is essential. In the river-crossing scenario, the
leader would brief his subordinates on specific safety requirements. Then each subordinate would brief back the
requirements to ensure that everyone understands. Drivers operating either military or POV equipment require
mandatory sleep time prior to movement. The Buddy System makes one Soldier responsible for another.
e. Supervise. Enforce controls and standards. Evaluate mission progress and changes to METT-TC, and then
begin appropriate corrective actions. After the mission is completion, evaluate the risk decisions and controls for
inclusion in AAR lessons learned.
17
3-9. Risk assessment
a. General. The unit commander and leaders will perform a risk assessment for all training activities to
prevent the unnecessary loss of Soldiers and/or equipment. The risk assessment procedure is a problem-solving
method that identifies areas presenting the highest risk to force protection. The commander and leaders will conduct
risk assessments following the detection of hazards with the objective of determining the potential impact of a
hazard on the mission. There are two major considerations. The first is severity-if the hazard does cause a loss, how
severe is that loss likely to be? The second is probability-how likely is the hazard to occur? The commander can
then make rational decisions about how to deal with that hazard.
b. Determining the level of risk. The immediate unit commander will conduct the risk assessment process by
determining the potential severity of a hazard and the probability that it will occur by utilizing the simple matrix
below. Using the matrix, a risk level of extremely high, high, medium, or low is determined and assigned to each
identified hazard prior to identifying/implementing controls. When using this risk assessment matrix, the risk
assessor must:
(1) Use the matrix to analyze risk and target areas of concern for risk-reducing techniques, worst first.
(2) Review individual areas of concern before recommending options.

c. Following the risk assessment, the commander and staff will develop and implement control options for
each hazard that will reduce or eliminate risks. The risk control options selected should have the maximum focus on
mission accomplishment and the least possible adverse impact on realism. After all appropriate controls have been
implemented to reduce or eliminate risks, the remaining risk will be determined using the matrix in Figure 3-2. An
overall risk level will be assigned to the particular training event based on the most serious risk.
3-10. Approving residual risk
a. The greater the risk the more senior the final decision-maker will be.
(1) Low Risk missions: Company Commander
(2) Medium missions: Battalion Commander
(3) High Risk missions: The first O6 in the chain of command and reviews by the installation safety
officer.
(4) Extremely High Risk missions: The first general officer in the chain of command.
b. When in the Extremely High or High Risk Zone, everyone from the commander to the individual must be
aware of the risk implication. All risk variations that can be controlled, will be controlled. By the book disciplined
operations are mandatory. The risk level for the operation is the remaining assessment of risk, after controls are in
place.
18
3-11. Accident notification and reporting

essential in terms of both safety and environmental management. The primary focus of this section is petroleum
products, but all hazardous materials and subsequent wastes shall be managed in accordance with INGR 200-1.
b. POL and hazardous material storage. General − permission to stage fuel equipment, refueling operations,
maintenance operations, or other POL materials/hazardous materials storage locations must be requested through
Plans and Operations. This should be done through the Training Area and Range Request Form. The following
guidelines pertain to the staging of these materials:
(1) Location should be more than 100 meters away from any surface water (stream/river) or wetland
area.
(2) Location should be at least 50 meters from any storm sewer inlets, ditches, or intermittent streams.
(3) Site should be nearly level, requiring only minimal clearing of surface vegetation.
(4) Preventative Measures – The following measures will be taken to prevent POL or hazardous
material spills:
(a) All POL, hazardous materials and hazardous wastes will be stored within secondary spill
containment. The secondary containment may be built using plastic sheeting and sand bags or lumber if other
25
containment is not available. Plastic sheeting or tarps will be used to protect all secondary containments from
precipitation.
(b) Incompatible materials/wastes will be segregated and stored with separate secondary spill
containment.
(c) All sites will be equipped with sufficient amounts of absorbent material for use in the event of a
spill.
(d) All maintenance activities, including fueling points, will use drop cloths, drip pans, etc., during
operations.
c. Fuel Bladders – The following additional guidelines pertain to the sitting of any size fuel bladder at
CDJMTC:
(1) Site preparation of the site underlying the fuel bladder requires excavating the topsoil, providing a
level site. Ensure that all debris is cleared that might otherwise puncture the flexible storage container.
(2) Construct a continuous berm to completely surround the storage site using on-site soils. The berm
dimensions should not be less than the total capacity of the storage bladder. This berm containment should be lined
with an impervious material. The liner must completely cover the bermed area, ensuring secondary containment in
case of any failure or seepage from the storage container. Any precipitation captured in the secondary containment
berm must be inspected for contamination prior to discharge.
(3) All sites excavated for fuel bladders may be required to be properly refilled.
d. Hazardous/Special Waste Disposal.
(1) Hazardous waste generated at CDJMTC is managed in accordance with INGR 200-1.
(2) Used oils, fuels, solvents, filters, batteries, and other hazardous materials or regulated wastes
generated in the field should be labeled, segregated, contained, and turned into USPFO-S&S-WH12 (Building W12). If Building W-12 is not open, units will contact CDJMTC Logistics personnel, who will supervise the
temporary location of the items in Building W-14. CDJMTC Logistics personnel will monitor all items placed in
Building W-14 to ensure that wastes are properly identified and appropriate for placement in this facility. CDJMTC
Logistics personnel will arrange for turn-in at USPFO-S&S-WH12 on the next available duty day, providing that the
visiting unit is no longer located on CDJMTC. Additional questions concerning proper disposal should be directed
to NGIA-DIM-E.
e. Spills:
(1) The primary concern in any spill situation is to protect yourself and other personnel from harm. The
nature of the spill (material and quantity) has a great bearing on how easily this may be done.
(2) Notify – Any spill of hazardous material that may be considered harmful to person or environment
will require the IMMEDIATE dispatch of the CDJMTC Fire Department through county 911 dispatch for primary
identification, containment, decontamination and treatment as needed of personnel as needed. The person(s)
involved with or discovering a spill will immediately notify their supervisor who will notify the unit Environmental
Compliance Officer or commander.
(3) The Environmental Compliance Officer or the unit commander will immediately notify NGIA-DIME of any spill that is NOT classified as an SOP spill. An SOP spill is a fuel, oil, or antifreeze spilled to a hard
surface or soil that can be cleaned up using available resources. If the unit does not have spill equipment, CDJMTC
Logistics personnel will have access to pre-positioned reaction equipment in building W-14.
(4) Protect – identify the spilled substance and evaluate the hazard. Extinguish all sources of ignition.
Use appropriate protective clothing and equipment. If in doubt, stay out and evacuate the immediate area. Secure the
perimeter to ensure safety of personnel coming upon the spill area.
(5) Stop the flow − if possible, without risking exposure of personnel to the hazard. Close the valve, turn
a ruptured barrel, and plug the hole. Use appropriate protective clothing and/or equipment.
(6) Contain the spill − without exposing personnel to the hazard, contain the spill by building earthen
dikes, spreading an absorbent material on the spill, or by diverting the flow away from bodies of water by digging
containment trenches.
(7) Clean up the spill − If possible, without exposing personnel to the hazard, recover the spilled material
and all contaminated soil. Dig out contaminated soil and transfer the contaminated soil to an impervious surface or
place into a container to representative from NGIA-DIM-E will oversee the clean up and turn in of all spills.
(8) Fill out a spill report − forward a copy to NGIA-DIM-E.
f. Biohazardous waste − any waste considered a biohazard, such as medical supplies contaminated by bodily
fluids, will be appropriately contained in biohazard containers and turned in to USPFO-S&S-WH12, as per INGR
200-1. Further information on biohazards may be obtained through the Safety and Health Office (NGIA-AVS-SH).
(1) Material safety data sheets (MSDSs) − MSDSs must be readily available for all hazardous materials
brought to or obtained on site. Contact NGIA-AVS-SH for further information.
26
(2) Radioactive sources − All equipment containing radioactive sources will be handled and stored as per
appropriate regulation. Questions should be directed to NGIA-AVS-SH.

(4) Digging of any type is not allowed within 100 meters of a marked historical or archeological site.
(5) Tracked vehicles are not allowed within 100 meters of a marked historical or archeological site.
b. Noise:
(1) General. Noise is inherent to CDJMTC operations. However, it is important to understand its effect
on the health, safety, and good will of those who use CDJMTC and those who live in the area. A disregard for noise
reduction measures and the creation of negative community relations can result in the loss of ranges and training
areas. Range Control responds to all noise complaints and maintains a record of them. (Figure 4-3 contains a copy of
the noise complaint questionnaire.) Noise complaints should be directed to Plans and Operations, who will
coordinate with and report incidents to NGIA-DIM-E.
(2) All aircraft will follow pre-designated flight paths.
(3) Ammunition and pyrotechnics use. No blank ammunition and/or pyrotechnics will be used within
100 meters of CDJMTC boundaries. No ammunition or pyrotechnics will be used anywhere on CDJMTC between
the hours of 2300 and 0800.
(4) Vehicle and motor use:
(a) Vehicles. Avoid revving vehicle engines when within 200 meters of the installation boundaries.
Follow all posted speed limits to avoid excess noise.
(b) Generators. Electric generators produce considerable noise. Generators located within 500
meters of the installation boundaries will be dug in or sand bagged to reduce noise levels. If an excavation is made,
it must be filled completely and properly.
(5) Demolition explosives. The demolition of explosives for training purposes must be coordinated with
Range Control prior to use.
c. Night firing. No night firing after 2300 or before 0800.
4-17. Range and outdoor fires
Any fire that becomes uncontrolled requires the IMMEDIATE dispatch of CDJMTC Fire through Polk County
Dispatch (Dial 911). The Range OIC will immediately notify Range Control if a range fire occurs. The primary
responsibility for extinguishing fires is with the unit that starts the fire until the arrival of Fire Department personnel.
All ranges are equipped with firefighting equipment.
4-18. Pesticide use
a. Use of any pesticide must have the approval of Plans and Operations, with the coordination of NGIADIM-E.
(1) Premixed formulations − any pesticide (herbicide, insecticide, rodenticide, etc.) that DOES NOT
require mixing can be used by any person in accordance with label directions.
(2) Mixing required formulations − use of any concentrated pesticide (herbicide, insecticide or
rodenticide) must have the approval of Plans and Operations, with the coordination of NGIA-DIM-E.

injury and must be prevented.
d. Personnel will not deliberately view direct laser beams within the nominal ocular hazard distance (NOHD),
found in MIL-HDBK-828A Appendix A, without the proper eye protection.
e. Personnel will not deliberately view direct laser beams with optical instruments within the nominal ocular
hazard distance-optics (NOHD-O), found in MIL-HDBK-828A Appendix A, unless the optical devices are
considered laser safe.
f. Report all laser injuries to Range Control.
g. Night vision devices will not be used for laser eye protection.

(2) AN/PAQ-4.
(3) AN/PEQ-2.
(4) AN/PVS-6.
c. The use of lasers other than those listed above may be used with approval from Range Control.
d. All laser beams will be contained within the CDJMTC boundaries.
e. The practice of lasing aircraft is prohibited.
f. All specular surfaces must be cleared from areas where lasers are to be used. If specular surfaces cannot be
removed, the surfaces must be covered.
g. Unprotected personnel will not be permitted in the laser SDZ.
h. Exercises involving MILES do not require laser eye protection and may be used on CDJMTC.
i. No special precautions are necessary for firing during rain, fog, or snowfall. Certain ranges may be closed
for operation if water begins pooling either on the ground or on snow.
j. A sample Laser Safety Brief is found in Figure 7-1.
41
LASER SAFETY BRIEFING
The laser system, except for its inability to penetrate target, must be treated as a direct-fire, line of sight weapon
such as a rifle or machine gun.
Safety precautions taken for a direct fire weapon will provide most aspects of the safety environment required for
the laser.
The additional hazard from laser devices is limited to exposure to unprotected eyes of individuals within the direct
laser beam or the direct laser beam reflected from reflective surfaces.
Serious eye damage with permanent impairment of vision can happen to unprotected personnel exposed to the laser
beam at ranges less than the Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD).
The NOHD for direct intra-beam viewing is the distance beyond which an unprotected individual may stand in the
beam and be exposed without injury, provided he/she does not look at the laser with unfiltered magnifying optical
devices.
The hazardous range is greatly increased when viewing the collimated beam with a telescope, field glasses or other
magnifying optics. No unprotected personnel are permitted in the Laser Surface Danger Zone (LSDZ).
Do not fire the laser if there is anyone in the Laser Surface Danger Zone who is not wearing laser protective
eyewear.
Personnel who are required to be in the surface danger zone must wear protective eyewear as prescribed in TB Med
524 and AR 385-63.
Do not fire the laser at unauthorized targets, civilian vehicles, or targets that are off the range.
Do not fire the laser at reflective surfaces (flat glass, water, shiny metal, etc.).
The reflections are possible hazards. Only those targets specified for lasing from a specific firing point will be used.
The inadvertent or intentional tracking of non-target vehicles or aircraft is prohibited.
Warning signs will be posted on access roads to ranges that may be within the NOHD for magnified optics.
All personnel must be aware of the danger of possible eye injury if proper precautions are not followed.
All personnel must report any eye exposure to the LRSO or OIC immediately and informed of the need to have an
eye exam within 24 hours of exposure.
Do not operate the laser until you have read and understood all operating and safety instructions in the appropriate
TM.
Treat the laser as you would the muzzle of your weapon.
The laser beam can cause blindness. Only operate the laser on an established laser range under the supervision of the
LRSO, IAW AR 385-63, chapter 19.
Do not attempt to repair the device unless you are specifically trained and authorized to repair the device.
