U.S. Army soldiers assigned to 16th Combat Aviation Brigade fire AGM-114 Hellfire
missiles at distant targets from AH-64E Apache helicopters above the Yakima Training Center,
Washington.
Yakima Training Center provides training support for
transient units and organizations by sustaining training
lands, range complexes, and support facilities in order to
enhance readiness. The installation's customers include not
only Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Army National Guard units,
but also Special Operations Command, Marine Corps, Air
Force, Navy, Coast Guard, local and federal Law Enforcement,
and allied forces from Canada and Japan.
Yakima Training Center is 327,000 acres (511 square miles),
which is roughly half the size of Rhode Island.
