PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) — The small-arms firing range for the Oregon National Guard should be completed in less than one month, allowing soldiers to meet the Army’s requirement for proficiency with an M16 rifle or M4 rifle.

The East Oregonian reports the contractor, Colton Construction of Oregon City, is building a firing line, two ammunition buildings and a three-sided briefing area.

The firing range is part of the Oregon National Guard’s plans for a full military training facility.

The National Guard owns 7,400 acres granted by the Umatilla Chemical Depot Reuse Authority. It’s the first activity planned on the depot by one of the six entities that will receive land from the Local Reuse Authority.
