“Please note overnight training operations,” Marine Corps Base Quantico announced. “Louder than usual noise this day.”
“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,” the installation stated. “Because training on Quantico is continuous, residents can expect to always hear some noise or feel vibrations.”
The training advisory covers multiple live-fire demonstrations and aircraft activity between December 12 and December 31, 2025, including several days with extended or overnight hours. Base officials note that noise, vibrations, and illumination levels may vary depending on location, weather, and time of day, and that schedules can change due to operational needs. Residents are encouraged to follow Marine Corps Base Quantico on Facebook for updates that may impact surrounding communities.
