Equates to live-fire training area on Fort Hood. Dedicated Impact Area See impact area. Free Access Pond or Lake “No check in/out” ponds and along Belton Lake shoreline in training area 8. Area Access and Fort Hood fishing permit is still required, with the exception of no fishing permit required along the shores of Belton Lake. Guided Hunt Any hunt led by a certified guide who is responsible for all hunters in the party. Impact Area The ground and associated airspace within the training complex used to contain fired, placed, dropped, thrown, or launched Ammunition Explosive (AE), and the resulting fragments, debris, and components from various weapon systems. Indirect fire weapon system impact areas include probable error for range and deflection. Direct fire weapon system impact areas encompass the total Surface Danger Zone (SDZ) from the firing point or position downrange to Distance X. It also includes Area B when required.

a. Temporary impact area. An impact area within the training complex used for a limited period of time to contain fired, placed, dropped, thrown, or launched AE and the

resulting fragments, debris, and components. Temporary impact areas are normally used for non-dud producing AE, and should be able to be cleared and returned to other training support following termination of firing. b. Dedicated impact area. An impact area that is permanently designated within the training complex and used indefinitely to contain fired, placed, dropped, thrown, or launched AE and the resulting fragments, debris, and components. Dedicated impact areas are normally used for non-sensitive AE.

c. High-hazard impact area. An impact area that is permanently designated within the training complex and used to contain sensitive high explosive AE and the resulting fragments, debris, and components. High hazard impact areas are normally established as part of dedicated impact areas where access is limited and strictly controlled due to the extreme hazard of dud ordnance (for example, Improved Conventional Munition (ICM), HEAT, 40-milimeter (mm), and other highly sensitive AE.) High-hazard impact areas also equates to Fort Hood artillery impact area (Permanent Dudded Area 94). LFTA The numbered live-fire training areas “inside the red line” on the Fort Hood Military Installation Map, bounded by East, South, and West Range Roads, into which live ordnance is fired. TA The numbered maneuver training areas outside the live-fire training areas on the Fort Hood Military Installation Map. Temporary Contaminated Area Any area where there are known or suspected unexploded munitions regardless of type. This area can be cleared for access after a thorough surface clearance. A surface clearance operation requires a visual search and removal and disposal of munitions. Temporary impact areas An impact area within the training complex used for a limited period of time to contain fired or launched ammunition and explosives, and the resulting fragments, debris, and components. Temporary impact areas are normally used for nondud producing ammunition or explosives, and should be able to be cleared and returned to other training support following termination of firing. Temporary impact areas equates to all ranges to include surface danger zones on Fort Hood. Training areas For the purpose of this regulation, the numbered areas which define the LFTAs and the TAs on the Fort Hood Military Installation Map.
