JBLM To Resume Mortar And Artillery Training Next Week

LAKEWOOD, WA — Joint Base Lewis McChord has announced that they will be resuming mortar and artillery training next week — and are warning everyone that means there's likely to be some extra noise even fairly late into the evenings.

According to JBLM, the training will run from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday next week.

During artillery training, JBLM Army units fire live munitions into a designated "artillery impact area" on JBLM's main campus.

As longtime residents are no doubt aware, those artillery shells can cause some noise for the surrounding area.

More on the training and the potential noise can be found on JBLM's website.
