36 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 STA Range Control. (2) Use of mobile fueling tanks (MFT) 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.

(2) If any cultural resources are uncovered during your operation, CEASE THE DIGGING, mark the hole, and record the location of the artifacts. Report the incident to the chain of command and forward information to STA Range Control. o. The Clean Water Act protects streams and wetlands (See Glossary). Follow these simple guidelines to avoid impact: (1) Vehicles can only navigate through streams in designated areas. These areas are low-water crossings with rocks, culverts, or bridges. (2) Troops should limit stream and river crossings by using a single crossing point as much as possible. (3) Avoid marsh areas and wetlands, especially by platoon size or larger maneuvers on foot. At no time should any vehicle be in or around these areas. p. Hazardous/Non-Hazardous turn in waste associated with equipment maintenance operations to the FMS maintenance facility from , Monday- Friday. The POC is the FMS Shop Chief at Use the following guidelines when turning in special non-hazardous and hazardous waste: (1) Segregate all wastes according to the ILARNG Waste Management and Hazardous Material Management SOP.

Removing certain plant species while training, coincides with natural resource management goals outlined in the STA INRMP. (8) The current STA map indicates areas off-limits to vehicles. r. Coordinate pyrotechnics with STA Range Control to reduce the potential risk of fire. s. ILARNG units cleaning weapons at STA follow the protocol sheets in Attachment A-1 of the ILARNG Waste Management and Hazardous Materials Management SOP regarding disposal and handling of weapons cleaning waste. t.

(11) Failure to follow all procedures for turn-in results in STA Range Control not accepting your vehicle(s). 41 NGIL Regulation November 2017

50 (12) Coordinate a turn-in time with STA Range Control. STA Range Control will not accept vehicles without prior notification Rations Rations are a unit responsibility. STA does not handle rations distribution. STA personnel will not sign for unit rations deliveries Maintenance Support a. The FMS at STA is available to units for maintenance support with prior coordination with the FMS Shop Chief at Direct questions about availability and types of support the FMS provides submit to the FMS Shop Chief. b. Units can obtain fuel from the STA. Prior coordination is mandatory. POC is available at: c. Coordinate mobile fuel truck operations in the Cantonment Area with STA Range Control and the STA Environmental Branch. d. Bulk fueling is not available Training Aids, Devices, Simulation Systems (TADSS) a. All TADSS require a trained operator. If a unit does not have a trained operator, the unit must coordinate with STA Range Control to receive training. Units coordinate days prior. On a case-by-case basis, STA Range Control provides an operator, depending on availability of personnel. To request TADSS information on usage and availability, the POC is the TADSS NCO at: /6810. b. Flash Simulator: Propane oxygen regulated devices which simulate crew served weapons fire. Normal quantities on-hand are two, however, quantities do vary. c. Beam Hit: A Beam Hit is a portable electronic marksmanship trainer that is available for use. Units can sign it out through the STA TADSS NCO. d. Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Simulation Kit: Non-pyrotechnics Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Simulation Kit - IEDES A Kits: These IED simulation kits are a non-pyrotechnic IED simulator using compressed air, special effects powder, and paintballs to replicate IED detonation. The simulator kit is highly flexible, allowing units to adjust the type and size of the replicated detonation. The sizes range from shell-sized IEDs, to small vehicle or personnel borne IEDs, and booby traps. The IED simulator gives the unit the ability to have IEDs in close proximity to convoys and personnel. Upon detonation, the sound is generated by compressed air rupturing a plastic or rubber burst disc. Special effects powder simulates smoke plums and shrapnel using.68 caliber paintballs. e. M69 practice grenade: The M69 practice hand grenade simulates the M67 series of fragmentation hand grenades for realistic training and qualification purposes. Use the grenade in conjunction with the M228 practice fuse (DODIC G880). Use the M69 with fuse on STA s hand grenade qualification range and the STX lanes. STA has fifty M69 practice grenades. f. HMMWV Egress Assistance Trainer (HEAT): The HEAT is designed to train Soldiers on the effects of rollover, and conduct drills that provide the skill and ability to NGIL Regulation November

51 react properly during emergency egress situations. The HEAT, linked with substantive training, may reduce/prevent rollover injuries and fatalities. The device reinforces the importance of seat positioning, wearing seatbelts, demonstrates the feeling of being 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. STA offers one indoor HEAT. The HEAT requires 2 licensed operators. g. MRAP Virtual Vehicle Trainer (VVT): The MRAP-VVT provides individual and collective route clearance training for: Buffalo Mine Protected Clearance Vehicle (VMMD), RG-31 and JERRV Medium Mine Protected Vehicles (MMPV), and Talon Man Transportable Robotic System (MTRS). Trains basic and advanced skills for route clearance operations including proper response to a wide array of IEDs and explosive hazards. Realistically simulates combat conditions: terrain, weather, visibility, vehicle operating conditions, IEDs, and opposing enemy forces. Practical exercises set in Iraq and Afghanistan geospecific areas enhance this training. Instructs route clearance operations, improves Soldier route clearance skills, teaches the latest tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) for route clearance and convoy techniques, and trains operation of the Buffalo. Collective training includes a Route Clearance Team of simulated VMMD (Husky) and MMPV (RG-31 or M-ATV) vehicles along with the MPCV (Buffalo) vehicles. IO/AAR Stations located side-by-side. They support conducting training with one while simultaneously conducting an AAR or pre-brief session with the other. h. Tippmann Paintball Weapon Systems: The Tippmann paintball weapon system 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 9oz air canister and hopper assembly. Each 9oz air canister allows approximately 50 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. i. Inert/Replica Training Aids: STA has RPGs, AK-47s, 105mm rounds, 155mm rounds, grenades, Iraqi land mines, shape charge, improvised RPG launcher, and suicide vest. j. Pneumatic Shoulder Fired Launcher: STA has two CO2 powered launchers that fire a foam rocket to simulate a RPG. 43 NGIL Regulation November 2017
