Veteran's Range Solutions

Veterans Range Solutions (VRS) is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that specializes in providing support to the US Army's Sustainable Range Program (SRP) embracing their primary two core programs - the Range and Training Land Program (RTLP) and the Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Program, which focus on the doctrinal capability of the Army's ranges and training lands. VRS provides dynamic solutions to fulfill various aspects of individual, collective and combined arms training with a primary aim of providing range construction and services for a broad spectrum of live fire and non-permanent training facilities supporting war fighter readiness for the U.S. Department of Defense. Excellence in training is a critical goal for the Department of Defense. VRS supports this initiative by designing, constructing, sustaining and maintaining modern range training facilities and training maneuver lands for all branches of the military. VRS boasts over 160 years of collective leadership and construction experience within the range community regarding Sustainable Range Maintenance. VRS' main objective is to provide the best and most comprehensive training facilities and services currently available. VRS provides a combat veteran's approach to ensuring mission requirements are met before, during and after construction of training facilities and consistently throughout service support missions. This understanding is critical to a unit's ability to successfully execute training for combat operations, as dictated by the pace of force modernization, emerging technologies, changes in the international security environment, and world-wide potential for full spectrum operations in urban and complex terrain. VRS' enhanced ranges, training facilities and service support provide the war fighter with realism in every aspect of training. With shrinking DoD budgets, growing military training requirements and aggressive deployment schedules, VRS is uniquely poised to support the war fighter. VRS objectives include Integration of mission support, environmental stewardship and economic feasibility assisting in defining procedures for determining range projects and training land requirements to support live-fire and maneuver training. Support the procedures and means by which the Army range infrastructure is managed and maintained on a daily basis in support of the training mission. In addition, VRS understands the bridge that is required between Army range managers and environmental programs in order to manage and maintain training land by integrating mission requirements with environmental requirements and exercise sound land management practices. Our goal is to assist the Army of meeting its requirement of achieving optimal sustained use of lands for the execution of realistic training and testing by providing a sustainable core capability that balances usage, condition, and level of maintenance. VRS' status as an SDVOSB compounded with a wealth of range expertise, offers a greatly condensed contracting, scheduling and delivery turnaround time, which will benefit its military customers. VRS construction and support services are supported by design visualization tools, which standardize designs utilizing pre-engineered components, individual experience in regards to DoD support services, and superior project management. In addition, VRS' teaming partners, collective experience and past performance enables predictable quality standards, high efficiency, and the ability to scale from small to large projects making VRS the low risk provider. VRS' goal is to be the leading provider of sustainable range support for the US Military. Range and training lands are VRS' core business and VRS design and construction criteria, project management and Quality Control will always consider military-specific requirements such as sustainability, safety, realism, schedule, and cost effectiveness. Sustainability is the central design requirement and is incorporated in all VRS designs. Various elements have been incorporated into standard processes due to feedback obtained through "Lessons Learned" exercises. Safety is achieved through the use of VRS' professional engineer team. VRS will interact with and involve installation agencies such as Range Managers, Command Safety, Department of Public Welfare and environmental staffs to ensure early involvement in the project planning process. VRS will work with these agencies to ascertain the size, Operational Tempo (OPTEMPO), and location of the facilities and to meet the requirements of the regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). VRS management continuously monitors and stays current regarding weapons development and changes to war-fighting doctrine and transformation. These are evolving processes making some standard ranges obsolete and mandating that the range modernization be dynamic to keep pace with the process of digitalization and greater weapons ranges and lethality. VRS is cognizant of need to continually modernize all necessary ranges and facilities and sustain the Army's training lands in accordance with AR 350-19, The Army Sustainable Range Program, TC 25-8, Training Ranges, TC 25-1, Training Lands, and Huntsville Corps of Engineer Range Design Manuals. Our efforts are geared to maximize the strengths of the Range Modernization Program. VRS Mission: Provide realistic joint and combined arms training facilities and training support, enabling America's Defense Forces to train, fight and win in the 21st Century operational environment. VRS Vision: Become a Center of Excellence in Range and Training Facility construction.
