ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. – The U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command’s (ATEC), U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) is scheduled to conduct training events October 16-18, 2018 producing noise that may be heard or felt outside the installation. These operations will not be hazardous to residents of surrounding communities and are a necessary part of the Army’s testing mission.
The training events may include military weapons and watercraft during the day and nighttime hours. The surrounding communities may hear weapon firing and see flashes or light visible off post from illumination devices.
Understanding the noise cannot be contained on the installation, organizations on APG take every measure to mitigate instances when it becomes problematic to residents off the installation. To ensure we minimize the impact to our neighbors, we monitor the weather and the noise readings continuously throughout each day. APG leadership takes noise complaints very seriously and wants to provide as much transparency as possible to the surrounding communities without compromising the security of the missions conducted here.
If, at any time, anyone in the surrounding communities is concerned about testing at Aberdeen Proving Ground, they are encouraged to contact the installation at 443-861-6586.
