ABERDEEN, MD—Loud noise alert!

Aberdeen Proving Ground officials say the base has firing operations scheduled for this week.

APG has daytime and nighttime testing operations scheduled for Monday, May 8 – Saturday, May 13, 2023,  approximately 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 a.m.  Testing for the week will end at 4 a.m. on Saturday. Noise may be heard in some areas off the installation.

Military weapons will be visible during daytime and nighttime hours. Residents may hear weapons firing and see flashes or light visible off post from illumination devices.

Officials monitor the weather and noise readings continuously throughout each day. APG leadership takes noise complaints seriously and wants to provide as much transparency as possible to the surrounding communities without compromising the security of the missions conducted at the base.
