BOARDMAN — The Navy is conducting explosive disposal training Wednesday, March 27, at the Naval Weapons System Training Facility Boardman.

The facility, informally called the Boardman Bombing Range, is a military installation south of Boardman that Naval Air Station Whidbey Island uses for training grounds.

The station in a press release announced the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Eleven Detachment Northwest will conduct the demolition event during daylight hours in the central section of the NWSTF range property.

“Dust clouds, smoke, audible detonations and ground vibration may result from this operation,” the press release stated. “Safety precautions and fire mitigations have been put in place to ensure demolition operations pose no threat to off-installation people or property.”
