The Suippes military camp is located in the north of the municipality of Suippes in the Marne department .
This warehouse is one of the largest in France with an area of 13,500 hectares . It was built on land devastated in World War I.
It is a target practice area, especially for cavalry and artillery units (it also has an area for air-to-ground firing). The maneuver training takes place in the nearby Mourmelon camp.
The camp once housed the 15th artillery regiment, which was then equipped with nuclear missile launchers from Hades. The storage silos for nuclear warheads have been decommissioned and have a new use: the storage of chemical shells of the First World War, which can be found throughout the north and east of France. Most of these grenades were processed as part of the SECOIA program at Camp Mailly, Aube, as of 2016, while non-transportable grenades were destroyed on site.
The 40th Artillery Regiment is currently the only regiment stationed on this military site, and the 132nd Army Dog Battalion is on the edge of the Mourmelon-le-Grand military site with its main entrance on the Suippes-Chalons-en-Champagne road.
