HARRISBURG, Pa. – Fort Indiantown Gap is scheduled to host a live-fire exercise using Bradley fighting vehicles between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. on Thursday, June 19 through Saturday, June 21.
The exercise is being conducted as part of a routine career-progression course held by the installation’s armor academy. It is being announced in advance as a courtesy to nearby residents who may notice increased noise, particularly in the Manada Gap area, during the exercise.
Fort Indiantown Gap is the only live-fire, maneuver military training facility in Pennsylvania. It serves as headquarters to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and Pennsylvania National Guard, offers more than 17,000 acres and 140 training areas and facilities for year-round training. It balances one of the region’s most ecologically diverse areas with a military mission that annually supports 19,000 Pennsylvania National Guard personnel and more than 130,000 other states’ military, law enforcement, and civilian personnel each year.
