JBLM Announces Day & Nighttime Artillery Training This Week
If you live near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, expect a little extra noise for the next few days.
LAKEWOOD, WA — If you live in Lakewood, you know the drill (pun intended): prepare for a little extra noise from Joint Base Lewis-McChord this week.
The base announced Monday that they will be conducting artillery and demolitions training starting at 5 a.m. Tuesday, and running all hours of the day and night until 11 p.m. Thursday.
During artillery training, JBLM Army units fire live munitions into a designated "artillery impact area" on JBLM's main campus.
