BOOM ALERT: Aberdeen Proving Ground announces testing schedule for February 21 – 24

ABERDEEN, MD—Loud noise alert!

Aberdeen Proving Ground officials say the base has daytime and nighttime firing operations scheduled for Tuesday, February 21 through Friday, February 24.

Residents may hear weapons firing and see flashes or light visible off post from illumination devices. These operations are not hazardous to residents in our surrounding communities and are integral to ensuring continued readiness of service members.



Organizations on APG take every measure to mitigate instances when training or testing becomes problematic to residents off the installation. APG officials 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 on the base.

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 410-278-4091.
