SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii — Local Army units are scheduled to conduct routine training activities in October that may be heard by surrounding communities. Additionally, the annual exercise referred to as J-P-M-R-C is planned for Nov. 1-10, with early preparations beginning as early as the last two weeks of October.
Training can occur during daytime and nighttime hours and is subject to change. 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 training is as follows:

- October 4-5 Artillery Live Fire on Schofield Barracks from 5 p.m. - 5 a.m. (Night Only)
