Residents and business owners near Camp James A. Garfield Joint Military Training Center in Portage and Trumbull counties might notice an increase in blast noise during explosives and grenade training that will run Wednesday through Sunday.

Sounds from the explosions also might be heard farther away than what occurs during normal operations. Intermittent explosions and gunfire will often be heard from the installation, which hosts training events throughout most of the year.

Camp James A. Garfield is an Ohio Army National Guard training site consisting of about 21,000 acres, with small arms weapons ranges and permanent facilities to support individual and collective training events for both weekend and annual training, for Army and other Department of Defense units in the midwestern United States.
