m. Handle Petroleum, Oil, and Lubrication (POL) products in a manner that eliminates or reduces the chance for cross contamination or spills. Follow these procedures for specific operations:

(1) Fueling operations outside of Cantonment Area requires written approval from MTC Range Control.

(2) Use of mobile fueling tanks (MFT) in Cantonment Area is restricted to refueling pads located southeast of the UTES. Refueling in the field follows field-refueling procedures and uses a spill mat or heavy plastic in the refueling area with drip pans. No vehicles fuel within 100 meters of any body of water to include intermittent streams. MFTs will have spill kits and at least one copy of the spill card (Appendix J) per vehicle.

(3) Fueling with five-gallon cans for field kitchens and generators is done at the fueling pads or properly designated areas. Use special precautions when filling burners and generators; pre-checks are made for fueling operations.

(a) Never fill five-gallon cans over the seam that connects the upper and lower parts of the can. This allows the liquid to expand and prevent seepage.

(b) Always ensure that cans have serviceable gaskets. (c) Never store cans without removing the fuel spouts and replacing the caps. (d) Check the operation of components before, during, and after operation to

ensure fuel is not leaking (fuel hoses, gaskets, etc.). (e) Kitchens follow procedures outlined in TM 10-7360-204-13&p for safe

55 NGIL Regulation 350-50-1 ∙ 15 June 2017

disoriented, and the actual effort required to execute rollover and emergency egress procedures. The trainer allows individuals and crews to rehearse and physically execute the necessary steps required to survive a vehicle rollover. Conducting the training under controlled conditions allow vehicle occupants to gain experience on the proper egress procedures. This training is necessary for Soldiers to achieve self-control and overcome the natural fear and panic following the catastrophic event which led to the vehicle rollover. MTC offers one indoor HEAT and one outdoor HEAT. The HEAT requires 2 licensed operators.

j. Virtual Convoy Operations Trainer (VCOT): The VCOT is a mobile or fixed site convoy trainer equipped with table top trainers for quick and easy set-up and movement.

allows users the opportunity to conduct realistic force-on-force training in multiple

environments with positive confirmation of hits-on-target. The Tippmann shoots .68

caliber paintballs fed from a 12oz air canister and hopper assembly. Each 12oz air

canister allows approximately 500 shots. The hopper allows for approximately 200 shots

per fill. The Tippmann has a SAFE button, and FIRE button for semi-automatic fire.

Each weapon system includes the following components: rifle, hopper, CO2 canister,

V-type goggles with face mask, and paintballs.

n. Engler Custom M2 (.50 Cal) Paintball Weapon System: The Engler paint ball

weapon system allows users the opportunity to conduct realistic convoy and defensive

operations in multiple environments with positive confirmation of hits-on-target. The

Engler resembles the .50 cal weapon system. The Engler shoots .68 caliber paint balls

fed from a 12oz CO2 air canister and hopper assembly. Each 12oz air canister allows

for approximately 500 shots. The hopper allows for approximately 300 shots per fill. The

Engler comes with a charging handle that the user charges before firing a shot. The

Engler has an electronic trigger for full automatic fire. MTC has 3 of these weapons

systems and required safety equipment for issue. Each weapon system includes the

following components: 1 weapon, three 9 volt batteries, 1 hopper, Five 12oz CO2 air

canisters, 1 detachable barrel, 1 remote air line, canister container which holds five

o. Close Combat Mission Capability Kit (CCMCK) (UTM Bolts): The CCMCK

Weapon Conversion System allows force-on-force close combat training by temporarily

converting service weapons (M16A2/M16A3/M16A4 Rifles, M4/M4A1 Carbines, M249

Squad Automatic Weapons (SAW), and M9 & M11 Pistols) to fire low-velocity marking

ammunition. CCMCK ammunition includes 5.56mm bulk marking ammunition for the

M16A2/M16A3/M16A4 Rifle and M4/M4A1 Carbine, 5.56mm linked marking ammunition

for the M249 SAW, and 9mm marking ammunition for the M9 & M11 Pistols. Marking

ammunition, manufactured in red, blue, and yellow loads into the magazine of the

converted weapon in the same manner as service ammunition. Once loaded, the

weapon cycles and functions the same as service ammunition, and marks the target

with minimal hazard to personnel wearing appropriate safety equipment. The system

allows normal weapon employment such as aiming, firing, force-on-force training, and

interactive live-fire scenario task and mission execution. Request ammunition through

TAMIS.

Appendix K Lautenberg Amendment

Lautenberg Amendment

The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended in 1996, makes it a federal Felony for anyone who has a qualifying misdemeanor conviction for domestic violence to ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms or ammunition. It’s also a felony for you to issue or dispose of firearms or ammunition to anyone with a qualifying conviction if you know, or should know, about the conviction. To qualify as a conviction under the Lautenberg Amendment, there must be:

1. A conviction, not a mere arrest; AND

2. The crime must have involved the use or attempted use of physical force, or the threatened use of a deadly weapon; AND

3. At the time of the crime, the Soldier/Airman must have had a particular relationship with the victim, such as current or former spouse, parent/guardian, cohabited with the victim, shared a child in common with the victim or was similarly situated.

THIS LAW APPLIES TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING MILITARY PERSONNEL! There is no time limit on how old or recent the conviction need be, and all qualifying convictions, no matter their age, are covered under the law. If you have a qualifying conviction, DO NOT accept possession of firearms or ammunition, military or otherwise, to do so violates the law and subjects you to criminal prosecution, as well as possible adverse administrative action by the military. If you know of someone in the Illinois National Guard who has a qualifying conviction, report this fact to your commander or First Sergeant, and DO NOT issue that person firearms or ammunition. Issuing firearms or ammunition to someone who has a qualifying conviction, which you know or should have known about, is also a federal felony, which would subject you to criminal prosecution and adverse administrative action. Remember, it is not a federal felony under the Lautenberg Amendment to merely have a qualifying conviction. You are committing a felony only if you have such a conviction, and then possess firearms or ammunition.

APPENDIX M Risk Management M-1. Risk Assessment and Safety Awareness As training in the army has become increasingly more intense and demanding, the overall level of risk inherent in training has risen. This increase of risk puts greater demands on commanders, who are the risk managers, to first, minimize the risks inherent in an operation and second, to reconcile inherent risks with essential mission requirements.

a. The risk management approach to safety requires identification of the risks associated with a particular operation and weighs those risks against the overall training value gained. A change in the level of mission difficulty produces a corresponding change in the risk involved.

b. Soldiers must develop a sixth sense about safety. They must be conscious of unsafe acts, see the potential for tragedy, and take steps to avoid it. Commanders must stress compliance in the following six areas:

(1) Set high standards. Set and enforce high operating standards in everything your unit does. Safety is a by- product of professionalism and of doing the job right the first time every time. By the book, disciplined operations are mandatory.

(2) Know your Soldiers, their training status and their qualifications. Test new Soldier’s knowledge, regardless of whether or not they have been previously certified. This applies to weapons and every type of moving equipment.

(3) Know your equipment. Know its capabilities and its condition. Numerous check sheets and publications are available to guide you.

(4) Apply dispatch discipline. Many accidents involve equipment that should not even be out of the motor pool or off the heli-pad. Use equipment only when necessary and only when it can contribute to genuine training in the unit mission. Tough-minded dispatch discipline reduces exposure to accidents.

(5) Manage risks in training. Integrate the requirement for safety with the demand for realistic combat training. A unit can achieve a high degree of safety through the systematic management of inherent mission risks.

(6) Maintain awareness. Be constantly aware of the mission-critical importance of safety in all of your operations. You must be ever vigilant and not allow complacency when everything is running smoothly. Continuous awareness of the requirement for integrating safety into all day-to-day unit operations is essential to maintaining peak readiness.

c. Commanders and leaders must perform a risk assessment prior to all training events. Where the risk assessment index exceeds the level specified by the next higher level of command, commanders and leaders must request permission from the next higher level of command prior to beginning the training event.

M-2. Consistent with the Risk Assessment and Awareness Discussed The Specific Action Leaders and Soldiers must Stress are:

99 NGIL Regulation 350-50-1 ∙ 15 June 2017

a. All levels of command must stress and address safety in all OPORDs. DO NOT compromise safety for training at any time. Death or serious injuries to Soldiers conducting training cannot be justified.

b. Thoroughtly brief all personnel on the conduct of training exercises to include safety procedures and possible accident-producing conditions and hazards.

c. Account for all individuals prior to and after any LFX and hazardous night training exercises.

appropriate, during LFX. g. Before firing blank ammunition, Brief personnel on the following points:

(1) Blank ammunition is dangerous at close range. Exercise the same precautions utilized during loading, unloading, and clearing weapons with live ammunition when using blank ammunition.

(2) DO NOT fire blanks unless the weapon has a blank firing adapter. (3) DO NOT intermix live ammunition with blank ammunition. Soldiers using

blank ammunition must not have access to live ammunition, grenades and smoke pots.

(4) Soldiers will not fire M16/M4 5.56mm blank ammo directly at anyone within 15 meters.

(5) Soldiers will not fire M60/M240B 7.62mm blank ammo directly at anyone within 40 meters.

(6) Weapons will have safety on and no ammunition chambered except when conducting train-up or participating in an exercise.

(7) All left-handed shooters will ensure that the top button of the uniform jacket is buttoned during firing.

h. All safety officers will be properly trained, and appointed. All personnel involved in the directing, laying, and firing of weapons will be made fully aware of their responsibilities in carrying out fire missions.

i. Personnel will be briefed on proper methods of loading, unloading, and lifting heavy materials. Personnel will also be briefed on proper mounting and dismounting vehicles.

j. Only designated and safety briefed officers and NCOs will handle pyrotechnics. Pyrotechnics below will be thrown into a pit if available (4 feet wide by 4 feet long by 3 feet deep, surrounded with engineer tape and clearly designated by a sign which says “Pyro Pit”) at the minimum safe range as expressed below:

(1) Hand grenade simulators - 15 meters. (2) Ground burst projectiles - 15 meters. (3) Smoke grenades - 5 feet. (4) Smoke pots - 20 feet with area free from ignitable materials. (5) Ground flares - 5 feet. (6) Simulated Projectile Airburst Liquids (SPALS, used in simulated chemical

Never take cover under vehicles. Stay off the radio and telephones!

M-3. Heat and Cold Injuries

a. Training plans must consider vulnerability to heat and cold weather injuries. Guidance in preventing such injuries is found in TB MED 507, TB MED 508, Army Regulation AR 40-5, with FORSCOM Supplement 1, and Department of Army Pamphlet 40-11.

b. The State Surgeon/Medical Officer or, in their absence, the senior medical officer present for duty, is responsible for monitoring and dissemination of information to commanders on climatic conditions which may become a health hazard for troops training under those conditions.

c. Prior to commencing a unit’s training with Chemical Protective Over Garments (CPOG) for MOPP 1 through 4, leaders will be given instruction on identifying heat stress symptoms and emergency first aid to treat those type of injuries.

101 NGIL Regulation 350-50-1 ∙ 15 June 2017

M-4. Rules of Engagement The following rules of engagement will be briefed to all unit personnel by the STX OIC or Assistant OIC before missions that could lead to contact. All controllers, unit leaders, and staff will be familiar with the complete rules of engagement

b. Authorized personnel throwing pyro will wear hearing and eye protection. c. Minimum standoff distance between friendly and OPFOR personnel is 20 meters. d. No bodily contact! No hand-to-hand! No scuffles! e. Controllers will have authority at the scene of engagement. f. Force, mistreatment, physical abuse, or harassment of EPWs is prohibited.

Observe the five S’s. (1) Segregate by rank, sex, and nationality. (2) Search for weapons, military documents or equipment in the vicinity of

capture. (3) Speedily, evacuate from point of capture. (4) Silence; prohibit any talking among EPWs for ease of control. (5) Safeguards to prevent harm or escape.

g. Personal wallets are off-limits. Only the upper pockets on EPW shirts or BDU / ACU shirts are subject to search by “friendly” soldiers. All other pockets are safe for wallets and personal effects.

h. All searches will be under strict observation of STX controllers. i. DO NOT separate weapons, equipment, or any personal property from EPWs.

Rifles will be unloaded, safety on, and slung over the shoulder with barrel down. j. EPWs will be held no longer than thirty (30) minutes. Their safety and health are

the responsibility of the capturing unit. k. There will be no resistance, escape or evasion by EPWs. l. Friendly forces will not approach OPFOR aircraft or vehicles closer than 75

meters. m. DO NOT capture, enter or drive any OPFOR vehicle. n. Red smoke or a red star cluster means all personnel and all vehicles must stop

in place immediately. o. Incidents where rules of engagement are ignored and soldiers are injured will

result in punishment under the Military Code of Illinois, and/or NGIL REG 25-1. M-5. Dangers of HC Smoke

a. Some soldiers are not aware of the hazards of hexachloroethane (HC) white smoke

b. The combustion products used in HC smoke grenades are toxic in high concentrations. Burning a mixture of granular aluminum, zinc oxide, and hexachloroethane produces the smoke. Sources of HC smoke include the AN-M8 smoke grenade.

c. HC smoke can be dangerous if improperly used. The smoke contains corrosive substances that can destroy lung tissue, causing lungs to fill with fluid in a condition known as “Dry-Land Drowning”. In some cases, the body can also

NGIL Regulation 350-50-1 ∙ 15 June 2017 102

be poisoned by zinc metal oxide in the smoke. The effects are usually delayed. Soldiers don’t realize they inhaled too much until hours, or even days, after the exposure.

d. Precautions on the use of HC smoke are listed on a card found in each box of 24 grenades. Technical information concerning HC smoke and health effects are in FM 3-11.9; Potential Military Chemical/Biological Agents and Compounds and FM 3-23.30; with Change 1; Grenades and Pyrotechnic Signals.

e. The following safety precautions will be implemented when using HC smoke: (1) Personnel will carry their protective mask when participating in exercises

that uses smoke. (2) Personnel will mask

(a) Before expose to any concentration of smoke produced by AN-M8 white smoke grenades or smoke pots (HC smoke) or metallic powder obscurants.

(b) When passing through or operating in dense smoke such as smoke blankets and smoke curtains (visibility less than 50 meters).

(c) When operating in or passing through a smoke haze (visibility greater than 50 meters) and the duration of exposure will exceed four (4) hours.

(d) Anytime exposure to smoke produces, breathing difficulty, eye irritation, or discomfort all similarly exposed personnel will mask.

(e) Personnel will mask when using smoke, in enclosed spaces, during Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT). NOTE: The protective mask is not effective in oxygen may have been displaced.

(f) Smoke generator personnel will mask when it is impossible to stay upwind of the smoke.

f. Showering and laundering of clothing following exercises will illuminate the risk of skin irritation following exposure to smoke. Troops exposed to smoke should reduce skin exposure by rolling down sleeves.

g. Take special care when using HC smoke. Ensure that appropriate protection is provided to all personnel who are likely to be exposed. When using HC smoke in training, specific consideration must be given to weather conditions and the potential downwind effects of the smoke. Establish positive controls (observation, control points, communications) to prevent exposure of unprotected personnel.

h. The pin of the M201A1 fuse used in AN-M8 smoke grenade can be inadvertently pulled. This can occur when grenades that are not in the fiber container are placed, side by side, in boxes or out of boxes and the lever on one grenade catches in the ring pin of an adjacent grenade and either pulls or partially pulls the pin. The potential for the pin to be inadvertently pulled is significant up to the point when the grenade is places in its fiber container. When a grenade is in its fiber container, there is almost no possibility of the pin being inadvertently pulled.

i. To prevent fuse pins from being inadvertently pulled, users are cautioned to comply with the following procedures:

(1) Retain the grenades in their fiber containers until they are to be used. (2) Always store and transport the grenades in the fiber containers

103 NGIL Regulation 350-50-1 ∙ 15 June 2017

(3) Prior to removing the grenade from the fiber container for use, observe the fuse safety pin. If it is missing, DO NOT remove the grenade from the fiber container. If both legs of the pin are straight, or if one leg is straight and the other is bent to an angle less than 45 degrees, bend each leg 90 degrees in opposite directions.

j. The procedure outlined above should also be used for the M18 series smoke hand grenade and AN-M14 incendiary hand grenade, since they use the same fuse (M201A1) as the AN-M8 smoke grenade.

k. Applicable publications and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) must be reviewed to ensure procedures are established for issue, accountability, storage, handling, and employment during all training activities. AN-M8 smoke grenades will not be stored with CS grenades and will not be hung on uniforms.

l. Other smoke training where health effects must be considered includes WP, PEP, Fog Oil, Red Phosphorous (RP), colored smoke, and diesel smoke.

m. The best policy is if you are not sure, tell your Soldiers to put on their protective masks.
