This is the down-range section of the base, an extremely high security area. Even authorized soldiers known to military police guarding the site would be held at gunpoint if they were found in a part of the site they were not expected in. This sign is a replica of one originally placed outside the fence you just came through, and it is an example of the kind of security expected here.
The sign’s text reads, in English and Spanish:U.S. ARMY
