County of Fauquier issued the following announcement on Jan. 24

Marine Corps Base Quantico operates 43 live-fire ranges that support training from small arms to explosive demolitions to artillery fire to the delivery of live-aerial munitions. 

As a regional facility, MCBQ is a critical asset for weapons proficiency training for Marines, the Department of Defense, federal agencies, and law enforcement organizations. 

The impact of noise, vibrations, and/or illuminations experienced across the area can vary greatly depending on the residential location, atmospheric conditions, time of day

and reductions to naturally occurring sound barriers. 

Because training on Quantico is continuous, residents can expect to always hear some noise or feel vibrations. 

Although we strive to provide the most accurate daily live-fire operations, please know schedules/live-fire activities can change due to operational conditions. 

If you would like to learn more, or comment on the impact of training, please visit
