JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST -- The 421st Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit will be training with explosives on Fort Dix ranges Saturday, the joint base said.
The training is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The base warned that residents in the area may experience ground shaking and considerable noise coming from the ranges.
The 421st's mission is to deliver combat support training to over 5,000 U.S. Air Force and NATO personnel annually.
The base routinely issues the advisories when artillery and demolitions training is scheduled. The base said in a statement that the training is essential for military readiness and base officials routinely work to minimize the impact it has on its surrounding communities.
