OFFUTT AFB, NE

Offutt AFB — Modular Range & Security Forces Campus

Offutt Air Force Base required a military shooting range solution that restored on-site training fast after the March 2019 flood, without compromising safety, throughput, or compliance. Working with RedGuard, Action Target delivered a UFC 4-179-02–compliant modular 14-lane range to maintain readiness during reconstruction—then equipped the base’s permanent 28-lane indoor range and 3-lane outdoor machine gun tube range to complete the Security Forces Campus. Built for U.S. Air Force training standards, the program pairs tactical baffling, TCT Vortex lead management, acoustic control, SmartRange Axis, and mission-specific target systems to support qual, sustainment, and crew-served weapons instruction.
