LAKEHURST – Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst released its schedule for artillery training for the month.
That means that area residents in Ocean County especially those wests of the Garden State Parkway will be hearing what some refer to as “the sounds of freedom.” That sound can emanate for miles.
Military training exercises range from artillery training to explosive disposal drills. Most of the activity according to the schedule will occur around the middle of the month.
Weather conditions can impact on how far the noise carries with cloudy days bringing the sounds further away than clear days.
For further information visit the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst’s official Facebook page to stay up to date with details of what is occurring in the Pine Barrens.
Last month featured numerous training exercises at the Joint Base and similar drills are planned for this month. The peak training period where residents will hear some noise will be from November 12 and November 15 and then again on November 19 and November 22.
