Ft. Belvoir, Va. — For once, it will be another military installation near the Potomac Communities making noise on Tuesday.
Cannons will fire at Ft. Belvoir between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. as the 3rd U.S. Infantry, or the “Old Guard,” will be training on the Army post with their ceremonial cannon.
The cannon will fire to the south to minimize sound intrusion to area neighbors, according to Fairfax County Mt. Vernon Supervisor Gerry Hyland.
Quantico Marine Corps Base often carries out munitions training at the military base. Last month, a controlled bomb exploded on base shaking the homes and nerves of nearby residents.
