APG Plans Day And Nighttime Training Exercises This January

From Aberdeen Proving Ground: U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) will host training events Jan. 7-10 and Jan. 13-16, producing activity that may be heard or noticed outside the installation. These operations are not hazardous to residents in our surrounding communities and are an integral part of military training, ensuring continued readiness of Servicemembers.

The training events may include military weapons and watercraft visible during the day and nighttime hours. The surrounding communities may hear weapon firing and see flashes or light visible off post from illumination devices.

Organizations on APG take every measure to mitigate instances when training or testing becomes problematic to residents off the installation. To ensure we minimize the impact to our neighbors, we monitor the weather and the noise readings continuously throughout each day. APG leadership takes noise complaints very seriously and wants to provide as much transparency as possible to the surrounding communities without compromising the security of the missions conducted here.

If, at any time, anyone in the surrounding communities is concerned about testing at Aberdeen Proving Ground, they are encouraged to contact the installation at 443-861-6727.
