Professional Training Organization Rental Policies

Recognizing that MTAC UTM sales and administration offices are conjoined with a facility that is operational 24 hours, 7 days a week, we ask that guests respect the guidelines we have set for the use of our facility. These guidelines are designed to minimize the operational distractions that the use of the facility could impose upon our pro shop, armory and administrative missions.

POLICIES

*Classroom courses will be conducted between 0800 and 1700 unless previously approved by management.

*All organizations requesting the use of our facility will be required to provide a class coordinator who will be responsible for coordinating the training with the Operations Manager.

*If the requesting organization (RO) has any special needs, the Operations Manager will attempt to meet them in a way that does not encumber our administration, sales or range safety.

The television in the classroom uses an HDMI connection. Please bring your own laptop for use.

*MTAC will be staffed with at least one Range Safety Officer (RSO) during the facility rental. 

Purpose

  • Create uniform expectations for all users and trainers

  • Armory Procedures:

    • Once you are cleared to do so you will don a holster, then you will proceed to the armory to be issued your firearm. Handguns are to be placed immediately into a holster. NEVER, will you leave the armory and un-holster the handgun until you are in the training area. Rifles will be slung once issued and taken directly into the training area. AT NO TIME IS ANY MTAC PROPERTY TO LEAVE THE BUILDING

General Protocol

Safety Protocol

The RO must go over a safety protocol that includes the mentioning of prohibited items and an emergency plan. They must give a specified time for students to remove prohibited items from the building to their vehicles. The RO must incorporate a sterilization procedure including a student pat down and locker search for prohibited items. A minimal sterilization procedure is listed below under the Facility Protocols.

Safety Note: At no time will live weapons be allowed in the training facility

NO EXCEPTION

  • Just because you are using a “training” gun we will adhere to the 4 universal gun safety rules.

  • No live weapons/ammunition/chemical irritants, edged or impact weapons are permitted in MTAC

  • Know the following areas of MTAC:

  • The entire building is a live fire-free area.

  • Green Zone: green carpeted area (office).

  • Red Zone: area outside of the green zone, armory, pro shop, classroom and inside the shoot house.

  • Indiscriminate firing, unsafe or frivolous behavior will not be tolerated.

  • All participants must wear designated safety equipment and the equipment must remain in place until the instructor ends the exercise. Eye protection must be worn in the training area at all times, no exceptions. All skin must be covered during force on force training. This includes the head, neck and hands.

  • If a helmet or other PPE becomes unsecured or unfastened during an exercise, immediately protect yourself, shielding your eyes, face, or throat area and begin yelling cease fire.

  • No contact shots.

  • EMERGENCY-Kits and TQ are in the armory, including Band-Aids. Hospital is X miles, if possible, we will transport to hospital.

Again, safety is paramount. Everyone participating in the training is a safety officer. Prior to force on force training the instructor and RSO will ensure that the group is in compliance with the safety protocols set by MTAC.

Facility Protocols

Sterilization Procedures:

Instructor or student pat down, and a wand may be used to complete the sterilization
