Fort Campbell officials said elements of U.S. Army Special Operations Command will conduct training Sunday through Wednesday in the vicinity of installation and the surrounding communities.
Officials added 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 area can expect an increase in air traffic and noise associated with a large-scale airborne operation.
Officials said 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.
This is routine 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.
