battalion size or larger exercises (e.g., artillery FIREXs, combined arms<br />
exercises, amphibious operations involving air and/or live-fire etc.), where<br />
a controlling agency (FDC/FSCC/DASC) or consolidated operations center has<br />
been established.<br />

positions are actually conducting live-fire operations.<br />
d. The controlling agency/consolidated operations center shall keep LONG-<br />
RIFLE advised of all air operations taking place.<br />

status until satisfactory communication is re-established.<br />
8. Radios. Each training unit shall provide its own radio equipment to<br />
support range safety communication requirements<br />
