<p>
Yuma Proving Ground (<abbr title="yuma proving ground">YPG</abbr>) is the busiest United States Army testing center in the nation and a huge economic boon for surrounding communities in the District.
</p>
<p>
<abbr title="yuma proving ground">YPG</abbr> takes up about 20 percent of Yuma County and stretches north into La Paz County. <abbr title="yuma proving ground">YPG</abbr> spans about 840,000 acres, the test center is about one-third the size of Massachusetts. About 1,700 employees, mostly civilians, test a wide variety of military hardware, including crewless aircraft, helicopter weapons, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, machine guns, mortars, and parachutes.
</p>
<p>
In a typical year at <abbr title="yuma proving ground">YPG</abbr>, test personnel fire tens of thousands of artillery, mortar, and missile rounds, 36,000 parachute drops take place, over 130,000 miles driven on test vehicles, and nearly 4,000 air sorties flown. YPG is the largest high technology employer in the county and pumps a large amount of cash into the local economy.
