GRAYLING – Northern Strike 2019 will be wrapping during this timeframe.

The only Units who will remain out here at Camp Grayling by Aug. 3 will be the 126 Infantry Battalion and the 296 Infantry Battalion from the Puerto Rico National guard. Both Units will be conducting some joint training. Residents in and around the area of our small arms ranges south of Camp Grayling will hear small arms firing, with small explosions from time to time this week.

The training out at the Grayling Army Airfield will begin to wind down as well. The very large C-130 fixed wing aircraft will continue landing and taking off as they will be taking Units back to their home station. There are nine scheduled departures and landings through July 29, 2019.

The training will continue out at Camp Grayling’s Multi-Purpose Range Complex also known as the Range 30 complex, located north of North Down River Road, east of Jones Lake Road, south of County Road 612 and west of Bald Hill Truck Trail. Residents who live out that way will continue to hear machine gun fire and explosions.

At each gate there will be a notice posted of when the gate was closed and a date when the gate will be re-opened.
