Brief History: The site was used for bombing training by crews from Williams AAF in Higley, AZ. The only improvements to this site consisted of the construction of aiming circles. There is a large amount of M38A2, 100 lb. Practice Bomb debris at the center of the target and scattered around the area. The remains of one M8A1 Parachute Flare was also found on the site.

Range / Site Description: Associated Munitions: Activities Completed: The Archives Search Report for Williams Field Bomb Target Range #4 was completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District, in July 1996. Issues: The TAG recommends an EE/CA for the entire site since there was confirmed debris from M38-series practice bombs and M8A1 flares encountered by the SI Team during their inspection of this site. Also, the size of the aiming circles is not exact and the size of the buffer/safety zone is not specified so the entire FUDS must be considered. Other Information: EE/CA |
