AFSOC HOSTS EMERALD WARRIOR-11 (UPDATE)

HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. – Air Force Special Operations Command is hosting a field exercise designed to train forces in combat scenarios Feb. 28 through March 11. The exercise concentrates on integrated tactics and multi-service command and control.

Training events for Emerald Warrior will take place in parts of Liberty, Calhoun and Franklin counties. Residents may see an increase in military activity in their area to include a higher than usual number of military vehicles and aircraft noise during the nighttime hours. Residents may also hear small arms fire tonight near Kendrick Road. Be advised, local police will cordon off the area.  Residents may have heard similar small arms fire Monday night by the Mill Road area.

With the cooperation of local, state and government agencies, Emerald Warrior-11 will provide multiple training opportunities for local law enforcement and emergency responders.  All training occurs at designated sites with the permission of property owners and local authorities.

The exercise will leverage lessons from Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom to provide trained and ready forces to combatant commanders.
