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.

The CAP is required to be in naval correspondence format and provided to the TECOM / RTAM POCs via the don task management tool (ETMS2).

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.
