Per reference (a), installation range control programs will be certified / recertified by Commanding General (CG) Training and Education Command (TECOM), every three years. 2. Background. The installation range control certifications will be conducted by an inspection team from CG TECOM Range and Training Area Management (RTAM) using the certification for range control operations checklist found on the Marine Corps Range and Training area Management System (MCRTAMS) in the range certification module at https:(slant slant)rtam.tecom.usmc.mil. For calendar year 2027, the Marine Corps installation range control certification schedule is as follows: Date: location: 4 May - 5 May 2027 MCAGCC Twentynine Palms, CA 7 May 2027 MCLB Barstow, CA 10 May - 11 May 2027 MCAS Yuma, AZ 25 May - 26 May 2027 MCB Camp Pendleton, CA 27 May 2027 MCAS Miramar, CA 9 Jun - 10 Jun 2027 MCMWTC Bridgeport, CA 3. Details regarding the certification schedule and inbrief will be emailed to each installation approximately 30 days before the planned certification visit. 4. Scheduling conflicts will be addressed on a case-by-case basis between the unit's leadership and the TECOM / RTAM points of contact (POC). 5. Installation commanders shall communicate all cancellation requests via email to the TECOM / RTAM POC. 6. Installation commanding officers will receive an outbrief of the inspection results before the inspection team's departure. Official results from RTAM will be released within 30 days from the completion of the inspection. Should findings or discrepancies be identified during the range control certification process, the installation commanding officer of the range control facility will submit a corrective action plan (CAP) to CG TECOM within 30 calendar days following receipt of the certification report. The CAP is required to be in naval correspondence format and provided to the TECOM / RTAM POCs via the don task management tool (ETMS2). The CAP shall document the corrective actions / steps taken or planned to eliminate the cause(s) preventing the recurrence of each discrepancy. Subsequently, every 30 calendar days a status report from the installation range control officer will be provided to the TECOM / RTAM POCs via email with copies sent to the installation commander until the CAP is complete. TECOM / RTAM shall determine when the corrective actions are sufficient to certify or recertify the installation range control facility. 7. The scheduled certification visits are at no cost to the commands. Scheduled certification cancellations may require the canceling unit to fund travel expenses for a rescheduled certification. Technical Assist Visits (TAV) are provided to all commands with ranges and training areas upon request via email to the TECOM / RTAM POCs. TAVs are at no cost to commands and are highly recommended. 8. This MARADMIN applies to all Marine Corps bases, stations, and installations listed in paragraph 2 and reference (a). 9.
