🪖 Loud Booms Expected During Fort Bragg Training June 1 Through 12
💥 Residents across Fayetteville, Spring Lake, Hope Mills, Raeford, and surrounding communities may hear loud explosions and feel reverberations during upcoming live-fire military exercises on Fort Bragg from June 1 through June 12.
🎖️ The 3/14 Marine Regiment will conduct live field artillery firing as part of certifications, command post exercises, and line-fire training operations on the installation.
🚛 Significant amounts of ammunition will be fired from howitzers during the exercises. Field Artillery units from the 82nd Airborne Division will also continue training throughout the month of June, which may result in additional booming sounds heard outside the base.
🌙 Nighttime firing is expected as part of readiness operations, though officials say the quantity of rounds fired during overnight hours will be reduced.
⏰ Existing firing restrictions remain in place:
🔹 No massed artillery fires larger than battalion size between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
🔹 No artillery firing between 10 a.m. and noon on Sundays
🏘️ Residents new to the area may notice windows rattling, distant booms, or vibrations during the exercises. Officials say the activity is part of routine military readiness training on Fort Bragg.
🙏 Stay informed and be safe.
