During the virtual meeting, there will be a brief presentation and a question-and-answer session to give community members an opportunity to exchange information with the Savannah District representatives regarding completed land use controls for Project 01 at the Spencer Artillery Range FUDS property, which consisted of educational materials distribution and training as well as installation of warning signs.
The Spencer Artillery Range FUDS property encompasses 30,618 acres in Van Buren, Warren, Sequatchie, and Bledsoe Counties, approximately 10 miles southeast of McMinnville and 12 miles south of Spencer, Tennessee. It served as the main artillery range for Camp Forrest in Tullahoma, Tennessee, from 1941 to 1944. Training at the range included the use of anti-aircraft guns, mortars, anti-tank rockets, target rockets, and artillery projectiles ranging in size from 20 to 155 millimeters. Most training activities ceased by September 1944. By August 1946, the U.S. Army returned the land to its original owners. Today, all land within the Spencer Artillery Range FUDS property is privately owned, except for portions of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail and public rights of way.
