Camp James A. Garfield Joint Military Training Center in Portage and Trumbull counties will be conducting training June 8-9, and an increase in blast noise should be expected.
Ohio Army National Guard’s 16th Engineer Brigade will undergo planned explosives training.
Sounds from the explosions might be heard farther away than during normal operations, including intermittent explosions and gunfire at the facility.
Camp James A. Garfield is an Ohio Army National Guard training site of about 21,000 acres with various small arms and machine gun weapons ranges and permanent facilities to support weekend and annual training for Army and other Department of Defense units.
