    Camp Ethan Allen Training Site (CEATS) Training Schedule Update

    Jericho, Vt. – The Camp Ethan Allen Training Site has updated their schedule based on a need for increased firing times. Schedule is below.

    In addition, from Sept. 14-16, the 572 Brigade Engineer Battalion will conduct training using a Demolition Effect Simulator on Camp Johnson, Colchester from 8:00 am to 7:00pm each day. This non-standard training on Camp Johnson fulfills necessary training year 2020 requirements to simulate safely detonating Improvised Explosive Devices from roadways.

    Vermont units are on a compressed time line because of training requirements leading up to likely 2021 deployments, training year 2020 requirements, and limited use throughout the spring. Live fire is set for tonight, and over the course of the next few weeks.

    While preparing for deployment units also have requirements that must be met within the training year which ends Sept. 30. Training has often occurred at Fort Drum to meet requirements. Fort Drum has implemented a mandatory two week quarantine period for National Guard units which equates to an annual training (AT) period – eliminating Fort Drum as a possibility to mitigate the impact on the community around CEATS.

    CEATS is a subordinate unit of the Garrison Support Command. Plans, operations, range safety, and all operations at the range are run by a dedicated full-time and part-time staff. Range staff has also led multiple efforts to mitigate the impact of noise on the local community. The range schedule, as it stands, is on page two. Range operations are subject to change.

    All noise complaints and range inquiries should be directed to the Vermont National Guard State Public Affairs office by calling 802-338-3000 and using option three. You can also e-mail inquiries through the VTNG Public Affairs mailbox at: ng.vt.vtarng.mbx.vtng-statepao@mail.mil
