The San Clemente Island Range Complex (SCIRC) consists of San Clemente Island (SCI) land, air and sea training ranges and designated operational areas to the south and west of SCI which are controlled by a single command and control system on SCI. The range and operations area on San Clemente Island accommodates naval surface fire support, air-to-ground ordnance delivery operations, and special operations.The San Clemente Island is now the only surface fire support range on the West Coast, and the Navy's last ship-to-shore live-fire range.

San Clemente Island is the southernmost of the eight California Channel Islands. It lies 55 nautical miles south of Long Beach and 68 nm west of San Diego. The island is approximately 21 nm long and is 4-1/2 nm across at its widest point. More than 6 dozen range and operational areas are clustered within a 60 mile radius of the island. The extent of these areas range from the ocean floor to an altitude of 80,000 feet.

SCI's distance from the mainland and its complete Navy ownership make the island and its surrounding area ideal for fleet training, weapon and electronics system testing, and research and development activities.
