How often must units conduct radio checks with Range Control during a hot status?

Units must conduct radio checks with Range Control every 30 minutes during a hot status to ensure continuous communication and coordination on the range. This frequency is critical for maintaining safety and situational awareness during live operations. The 30-minute interval strikes a balance between efficiency and the need for regular communication to address any changes, issues, or emergencies that may arise during training exercises. This protocol helps keep Range Control informed of unit activities and ensures that support can be provided when necessary. Regular communication is vital in a hot status to ensure that all personnel are on the same page and that safety measures are being adhered to effectively.
