U.S. Army plans missle tests at Fort Greely

The Army plans to test-fire missiles in Alaska. The Fort Greely-based Cold Region’s Test Center will launch several missiles between January 24 and February 20, south of Delta Junction. The 6-inch diameter, 6-foot long missiles will not contain warheads. The Army is releasing no other details about the new weapons and the Test Center’s John Vigatto says it’s closing off public access to the massive training area.
