Fort D.A. Russell Days This Weekend At F.E. Warren

F.E. Warren will host its annual open house known as Fort D.A. Russell Days July 18-20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to give community members an opportunity to learn about the base’s mission and history.

Events during the three-day open house include historic military demonstrations, security forces dog presentations, muskets to missiles displays, period style dances and high noon gunfights.

Tours of our trainers will also be available at no cost. The tour will consist of visiting the Missile Procedures Trainer (a mockup of the Launch Control Center, where the missileers work) and the Uniform-01 Training Facility (a mockup of a Launch Facility, where the missile is housed). Participants will also visit the helicopter hangar, the Warren ICBM & Heritage Museum and maintenance vehicles.

According to a release, the public is also invited to participate in the Buffalo Stampede, a 5K and 10K race held on base July 19 at 8 a.m.

The Buffalo/Beef Roast will occur on July 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Trail’s End Club on base and includes roasted buffalo, baked beans, potato salad, corn cob and a dinner roll for purchase.
