Residents and business owners near Camp James A. Garfield Joint Military Training Center in Portage and Trumbull counties may notice an increase in blast noise from the area July 10-13.
Explosives are scheduled to be used by Ohio Army National Guard members during training. The training is an important part of military readiness for the soldiers and simulates realistic battle conditions.
Sounds from the explosions may be heard farther away than what occurs during normal operations. There will be intermittent explosions and gunfire at the facility throughout annual training season, which typically runs through September.
