JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. – Elements of U.S. Army Special Operations Command are conducting routine military training at Joint Base Lewis-McChord Oct. 21-Nov. 4. The Soldiers will use training ammunition and other training devices to make the exercise as real as possible.
There will be periods of increased air traffic, to include low-flying helicopters, tilt-rotor aircraft and airplanes during hours of darkness. The community can expect to experience an increase in air traffic and noise associated with a large-scale, airborne operation.
This element of U.S. Army Special Operations command is a lethal, agile and versatile special operations force that conducts forcible entry operations and special operations raids across the entire spectrum of combat. Tough, realistic military exercises conducted routinely provide the unit a unique edge for real-world missions.
This is a routine military training conducted periodically to maintain a high-level of readiness for the military personnel involved. Every measure to reduce the amount of noise associated with the training will be taken. We appreciate the support of the residents and the community in the surrounding areas during this training.
