Military Guys Step In...
 

I'm working on my first fiction novel and while doing heavy research, did not find something online - spent about 4 hours searching for it.

Where is the nearest military base (to NJ) that has a tank firing range? I was under the impression Ft Drum has one, but couldn't find anything to confirm. I know Ft Knox has the armor training school and there are armored divison HQ in TX and KS.

Anyone help me out on this info?

tank? hmm. i do not know exactly. but i would say yes. I've been there several times and to see tanks on maneuvers is very rare. I have seen Bradleys firing at dix but maybe just a mounted 50 cal.

Ft Drum in upstate ny doesn't have tanks at all but most large bases have the capability.

I thought fort Dix had one

My buddy's dad was a company Sgt for the NJ NG , retiring about 20 years ago - they used to drill at Ft Drum - he was in tank maintenance. Figured they might still be doing something up there.

Still looking...

They should put a tank firing range in Camden...:kneeslap:

UBG, you are too funny...

They do have the New Jersey there - would like to see that thing fire!

Hell yeah! "Crack house to the starboard side....FIRE!!!"

Camp Lejeune has tank live fire ranges, kinda far from NJ though.

Maybe FT. Meade in Maryland?

They do not have a range there for tanks. Its a small base, I spent a year there!

Damn.. I say just take your tank to Camden NJ..You should be fine as that whole place is a gun range..

Just don't park it there or someone might steal it...
