If you hear rumblings from northern Lebanon County in the next few weeks, worry not—it’s probably just the Gap.
Here’s the training schedule at Fort Indiantown Gap for June.
Door gunnery training began June 1 and will be held through Wednesday, June 3, between 3 p.m. and 1 a.m.
Training on the use of controlled denotations to remediate unexploded ordinance will be held each Friday this month (June 5, June 12, June 19, and June 26) at approximately 1 p.m.
Artillery training will be held Sunday, June 21, through Wednesday, June 24, between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m.
Fort Indiantown Gap is the only live-fire and maneuver military base in Pennsylvania. It is considered the nation’s largest National Guard training facility by number of mandays trained – close to one million annually.
A project to construct a new security perimeter around the Gap is expected to begin later this year, with the timeline being pushed back slightly so far due to the coronavirus pandemic.
