between the unit's leadership and the TECOM / RTAM points of contact
(POCs).

requests via email to the TECOM / RTAM POCs.
6. Installation Commanders will receive an out-brief of the
inspection results before the inspection team's departure. Official
certification report results from TECOM / RTAM will be released
within 30 days from the completion of the inspection. Should
findings or discrepancies be identified, the Installation Commander
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
email. 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 will be provided to the
TECOM / RTAM POCs 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.
