Blank ammunition shall not be used in force-on-force exercises except with
ESS equipment.
Blank ammunition shall be stored separately from live ammunition, either in a
different location or in a locked cabinet, and shall be inspected prior to issu-
ance, preferably by a safety representative having munitions experience.
Prior to each ESS exercise, participants shall inspect their firearms to ensure
that only blank ammunition and properly equipped ESS firearms are in use.
Prior to each ESS exercise, each firearm and all ammunition shall be
inspected by the responsible safety or protective force supervisor to ensure
that only blank ammunition and properly equipped ESS firearms are being
used.
Only those blank rounds approved by, or meeting specifications approved by,
the manufacturer of ESS equipment shall be used in firearms associated with
that equipment.
Exercise participants shall be given comprehensive instruction before using
the LAW simulator and shall make sure that personnel, obstructions, and
combustible materials are outside the hazard zone prior to firing a LAW
simulator.
Exercise participants shall not cock the LAW simulator until a target is
sighted. If the LAW simulator is not fired at a given target but is anticipated
to be fired at another target during the exercise, it will be returned to the
uncocked position until the next target is sighted. If the LAW simulator is not
fired, it will be returned to an unloaded/tube-empty position prior to turn-in.
LAW simulators shall only be used in designated areas identified in the
exercise plan.
In training with the LAW simulator, exclusion distances and conditions shall
be established as though an actual firearm were being fired.
