RSC/RCR data for the military parking ramp is determined by military personnel.

A6.1.6. The RCR for each ramp and taxiway in use will be determined and reported to indicate the average reading and location of the lowest reading. Extreme caution must be used due to narrowness of taxiways and possible ramp congestion. RCR testing will not be accomplished within 100 feet of an aircraft or other obstacle while operating on packed snow or ice. Areas not tested due to this restriction will be estimated using similar conditions of another location on the airfield as a guide. Closed ramp areas and taxiways do not require RCR reports.
