Claiborne Range, Louisiana

The Claiborne Range is an Air Force Reserve air-to-ground training range located within the Kisatchie National Forest in central Louisiana. There are a few circular targets and tactical targets made out of shipping containers, as well as a target airstrip, and dozens of pieces of old military equipment, including planes and tanks used as props and targets. Located within a thousand acres of clearing, the official 3,200 acre range was expanded into 7,800 acres in 2004. It is part of what originally was a 30,000 acre army training area known as Camp Claiborne, established in WWII. Most of that land is now national forest, though remains of the former military use, including unexploded ordnance, exist in the woods. Located 16 miles east of the extensive training grounds of Fort Polk.
