  246. Location of the patients<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  247. Possible hazards to aircraft or medical vehicles at the site<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  248. Methods of marking the site if needed for pickup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  249. Source of injuries<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  250. Patient’s age, sex, blood type, name, grade, and SSN<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  251. Range Warnings SOP<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  252. The SOP will explain:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  253. What signals are used for a specific range<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  254. Where to place the signals<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  255. Reason for Range Warnings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  256. The correct placement of range warning signs and signals will limit the direction of firing and alert people to the risk of entering an impact area or range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  257. Red Streamer<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  258. The red streamer (also called the red signal streamer) is used to warn people that they are entering a range area where a live-fire exercise is being conducted. The red streamer needs to be placed at range gates and other entrances. Red streamers can also be used on towers, flag poles, and other locations depending on the SOP for a particular range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  259. Red Artillery Streamer<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  260. The red artillery streamer is much larger than the red streamer and is used for large exercises because it can be seen from farther distances. Red artillery streamers should be hung in prominent positions to warn people that they are entering a range area where a live-fire exercise is being conducted. Certain ranges require hanging a red artillery streamer. Be sure to read the SOP for your range to find if and where the artillery streamer is to be hung for the exercise you are conducting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  261. Lateral Limit Markers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  262. Lateral limit markers are often used in field firing ranges to denote the safe direction of fire as well as to provide a visual reference to warn of danger. Limit markers establish the left and right boundaries of fire.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  263. Red Flashing Lights<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  264. Red flashing lights are used for night firing exercises or anytime when an exercise takes place in reduced visibility conditions. Red flashing lights are often placed in the same general proximity of red streamers, e.g., gates, poles, and towers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  265. Primary Communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  266. Almost always a radio<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  267. -Primary freq will be designated by range control<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  268. -Backup freq is normally designated by range control in case the first frequency fails<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  269. Secondary Communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  270. If primary fails a cease fire is in effect until it gets up<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  271. -Range specifics are detailed in SOP<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  272. -Most likely landline telephones or cell phones<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  273. -Are not used for normal exercise communications<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  274. Who needs comms<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  275. OIC\/RSO, gate tower guards<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110122\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
