The Johnson Valley Shared Use Area is now open to the public. The Marine Corps has concluded training and the land has been thoroughly inspected and returned to the Bureau of Land Management for public use and recreation.
The Marine Corps issued a statement thanking the community for their support. Military training in Johnson Valley is a critical element in maintaining national defense through progressive service-level training.
The Marine Corps will continue to conduct outreach and inform the public of any temporary changes in land use for the Johnson Valley Shared Use Area.
The area will be closed again this year for training from August 15 through August 26.
