“Marine Corps Base Quantico operates 43 live-fire ranges that support training from small arms to explosive demolitions to artillery fire to the delivery of live-aerial munitions,” Marine Corps Base Quantico announced. “Because training on Quantico is continuous, residents can expect to always hear some noise or feel vibrations.”
The base advised the public of scheduled live-fire activities through December 5, including small-arms training, inert rocket demonstrations, multi-day exercises, and artillery and mortar operations. Noise and vibrations may vary depending on location, weather, and time of day, and schedules remain subject to change based on operational needs.
