With Army materiel from 1775 to the present, it is primarily for Soldier training, open to the public only on select days. Thank you for your interest in the Ordnance Training Support Facility located at Fort Lee, Virginia. Formerly the Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland, the Ordnance Training Support Facility curates thousands of military artifacts from the American Revolu
tion to modern day. The artifact collection is now being used to educate Ordnance Soldiers on their proud history and heritage. After the Defense Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC) move from Maryland, the museum collection of tanks, vehicles, and other artifacts is available for public viewing only on select days. Also, some of the artifacts that were on outdoor exhibit at APG have been transferred to more appropriate locations: the Tiger 1 which is now on display at the Armor Museum at Fort Benning, Georgia for example. Several of the artifacts are on outside display at Fort Lee. These include: a Pershing II Battlefield Support Missile and Launcher; an M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, an M32B3 Recovery Vehicle, an experimental T12 High Explosive Bomb dubbed the “Cloudmaker,” an Army 12”/35 railroad gun “Model of 1895”. Below is a list of locations for these exhibits. Artifacts from the Ordnance collection are posted here regularly so be sure to check back often. Please like, share, and comment on what you find interesting! Again, thank you for your interest in the Ordnance Training Support Facility. ORDNANCE TRAINING AND HERITAGE CENTER OUTDOOR EXHIBITS
