3/14 Marine Regiment Live Field Artillery Firing, June 1-12
The 3rd Battalion, 14th Marine Regiment will conduct live-fire training from June 1-12 on Fort Bragg for their certifications, command post exercise and line-fire training.
During this time, the Marines will fire significant amounts of ammunition from howitzers.
Field Artillery units from the 82nd Airborne Division will also be training throughout the month of June, resulting in loud explosions and reverberations that are often heard outside the installation.
While engaged in simulated combat conditions, all Field Artillery units will comply with existing requirements that prohibit them from massing fires larger than battalion size between the hours of 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily or from firing during the hours of 10 a.m. to noon on Sundays. There will be nighttime firing, as this is essential to maintain force readiness, but the quantity of rounds fired during hours of darkness is reduced.
