If you hear rumblings from northern Lebanon County in the next few weeks, worry not – it’s probably just the Gap.
Those who serve will be bearing the summer heat to receive training in demolitions, artillery, and mortars this month.

Mortar live-fire training will be held Aug. 2 to Aug. 3 between 8 a.m. and 8 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.
