Key Camp Pendleton document has no approved artillery firing locations west of I-5 – San Diego Union-Tribune
www.sandiegouniontribune.com
State says it has no record of any over-freeway fire prior to Saturday's amphibious capabilities demonstration that temporarily closed the freeway.

A statement from the California Highway Patrol issued Sunday afternoon called the recent firing of howitzers over Interstate 5 “unusual,” but the standing operating procedures that govern all artillery fire on Camp Pendleton make no formal provision for firing over one of the busiest roadways in the state

This is a great example of how fascism spreads incompetence.

    What I am personally curious to see is if this was ever completed:

    a waiver from Pendleton’s Range Operations Division — call sign LONGRIFLE

    It seems they had a form waiver, that likely would include risk assessment. The article later stated that the military appeared to be following procedures outlined in the waiver/by the Range Operations Division, specifically when all firing ceased and a root cause analysis launched after the premature detonation.
