Noise Alert:
Expect to hear loud booms associated with the firing of high-explosive artillery rounds June 16-23, 2025, as military units conduct artillery training.
The noise and associated sounds are likely to carry outside Fort Chaffee’s perimeter and may potentially cause concern in the communities and surrounding areas beyond the borders of the post.
We understand that some aspects of ongoing military training creates disruptive noise and ground vibration concerns. And, as a concerned partner, we endeavor to keep our neighbors near the post informed when such external effects can be expected.
Through our training, and the continued support of our communities, the Arkansas National Guard and our co-located sister service organizations can continue to make positive contributions to the safety and security of our State and Nation.

We love to share classic country music at KPRV. Music tells a story. Today is Memorial Day, a time to remember those who lost their lives while in service to our country. Redd Stewart and Ernest Tubb wrote and recorded a song in 1944 called "The Soldier's Last Letter." It's a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served and by the people at home who loved them.
