Jeff,
I suggest you require those individuals along someone else higher in their chain of command pass the training before opening it their unit(s). Multiple reasons for this approach.
They are the product of their unit command climate. You will probably not be able to positively influence their command climate but requiring their superior to your training and then attend the units use of your range (until you are satisfied with their conduct) will lower the probability of bad stuff happening. The senior is then on the hook for the units conduct with no excuses.
Having a senior present affirms your (and therefor the public at large) lack of confidence in their professionalism. If asked by the senior if this requirement was for all be honest.
If the units have even a partial clue the problem should work itself out as they unit will not want the continued presence of a senior, hopefully for more than the professional embarrassment.
I have a little over 300 yards on my property and have other vets over approximately once a month ostensibly for shooting and burning of beef/pork. The problem child is a DPS Lt. Who happens to be the brother in law of a good friend (I was best man at his wedding and god father to his first daughter so...). The two USAF reserve pilots and the IDF soldierette learned the rules without any problem.
There things I don't chances with. I don't give out my reloading data unless it is a straight forward book (Sierra, Hornady, etc.) unless I have first hand knowledge the person is already competent and extrapolate into stupidity or worse, using NODs (either NVG or thermal) whether shooting or flying, and there are only three others that can use my property for shooting when I am not present. Experience has taught me that too many/most have the Rain Man problem of being a really good driver.
Good luck.
S/F, FOG
