SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii — Local military units are scheduled to conduct essential training activities in June that may be heard by surrounding communities.

Essential training is subject to change based on safety, weather and other environmental factors. Weather, such as overcast conditions can increase noise and vibrations. Should individuals hear noise, there is no immediate danger.

For the community’s awareness, the planned monthly training is as follows:

June 1-7: Army mortar training, Schofield Barracks. Training will occur during daytime and nighttime hours.

June 18-24: Army artillery training, Schofield Barracks. Training will occur during daytime and nighttime hours.

  • June 1-10 and 27-30: Army Lightning Academy training with blank ammunition and explosive simulators, Schofield Barracks East Range. Helicopter operations will also take place June 2, 7 and 9.

Mortar training occasionally generates visible bright orange lights when illumination rounds are fired. Residents in the surrounding area may see these bright orange lights in the sky.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or UAS, training can occur 24 hours a day, seven days a week on Wheeler Army Airfield and in the restricted airspace over much of Schofield Barracks and a northwestern section of the Waianae mountain range.

The military appreciates the understanding and continued support of the local community. While sometimes loud, this training is critical to ensure military units and service members are ready to accomplish their mission and return home safely.

To report concerns related to noise or training, contact U.S. Army Hawaii’s Community Concern Line at (808) 656-3487 or usarmy.hawaii.comrel@mail.mil. Concerns are responded to during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.

The Army produces this monthly schedule to alert neighbors of upcoming training activities that are louder in nature and may be heard outside the military installation. This schedule is subject to change and is not inclusive of all Army aviation/unmanned aircraft system (UAS) activities, or East Range training activities (between Wahiawa and Mililani Mauka).
