Maybe the facilities are used to train soldiers, law enforcement agencies and or homeland security in skills such as fighting in wooded areas, urban patrolling, forcible entry, and or nigh fighting techniques. Could be used to cross train foreign troops, etc. What is wrong with it?
My bro was a peace time Marine, he spent 90% of the time to train, he only did three ops overseas. It is not like one person is super Rambo who can win war by himself. Without training, how do these people fight in war in modern time?

The military has been using "combat villages" as training grounds for urban conflict for decades.
Relax, everybody.
The oppressors' tanks won't be rolling down your street to disturb your sleep anytime soon. Of course, you can clean out that old Y2K bunker under your back yard, just in case.

MOUT = Military Operations On Urban Terrain
A concept older than you.
There were four such areas in the US in 1984, when I was at TRADOC Headquarters. I know, because I visited them when reviewing and editing training manuals for cavalry, infantry, armor, engineers and military police as part of AirLand Battle 2000 (plus I had trained on one of them).

LOL, that reminds me; every couple of months Fort Dix/McGuire Airbase conducts artillery training. I can hear it from my house, which is almost 30 miles away! Just a series of low booms. I can't imagine how loud it must be at the actual site.
However, it never made me run for a bunker or wrap tin foil on the hat I always wear!
