This Department of Air Force Pamphlet (DAFPAM) supports Department of Defense Instruction
4715.14, Operational Range Assessments. This DAFPAM provides formal non-directive
environmental guidance for the Air Force Operational Range Assessment Program (ORAP) in
order to monitor and manage potential environmental contamination at active test, training and
small arms ranges. It is intended for personnel who manage, maintain, or support operational
ranges; assist in accomplishing operational range assessments; and report or communicate
environmental matters pertaining to test, training, or range areas. Managers may use this ORAP
DAFPAM to augment test, training, and range sustainability efforts. The DAFPAM sets forth
procedures for conducting an operational range assessment, providing a mechanism for evaluating
munitions constituents (MC) migration; assessing risks to human health and the environment; and
responding to environmental impacts from range activities and munitions use. AF/A4CA and Air
Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) developed this formal non-directive environmental
guidance for the AF ORAP in order to monitor and manage potential environmental contamination
at active test, training and small arms ranges. This DAF issued publication will supplement Air
Force Manual (AFMAN) 32-7002, Environmental Compliance and Pollution Prevention, with
new non-directive guidance on the ORAP, and expand on ORAP compliance statements in
AFMAN 13-212, Volume 1, Range Planning and Operations. This will ensure effective
implementation of DoDI 4715.14, Operational Range Assessments, and provide the overarching
structure of the ORAP so as to enable the DAF to execute the ORAP efficiently and effectively.
This Management Pamphlet (guidance) applies to the entire DAF within the United States and its
territories, including all members of the Regular DAF, United States Space Force (USSF), the Air
Force Reserve (AFRC), the Air National Guard (ANG), AFIMSC, AFCEC, DAF installations and
USSF Garrisons (formerly USSF Bases), and geographically separated units (GSU). This ORAP
