When conducting range operations outside the US, compliance is required with which regulations?

The necessity to comply with AR 685-63 and host nation regulations when conducting range operations outside the United States stems from the requirement to adhere to established safety protocols while respecting the laws and regulations of the country in which the operations are taking place. AR 685-63 specifically addresses military range safety practices, ensuring that operations are conducted safely and effectively.

Host nation regulations are equally critical since they govern how military operations are conducted within the boundaries of that country. Respecting these regulations not only ensures the safety and security of personnel but also facilitates good relations with local communities and authorities. Adhering to both AR 685-63 and host nation regulations creates a framework that promotes safe operations while respecting international and local guidelines.
