Franklin
County will once again serve as a training ground for the military
this year.
Operation
Emerald Warrior received county approval this week and will be held
in our area beginning February the 28th; the operation is scheduled
to run through March the 3rd.
Operation
Emerald Warrior is an Air Force Special Operations Command designed
to train forces with lessons learned from Operations Iraqi Freedom
and Enduring Freedom.
The
program is scaled down from years past when it lasted for weeks and
included hundreds of soldiers.
This
year about 20 Air Force Special operations personnel will take part
who will conduct air strip surveys as part of their training.
The
Apalachicola airport will play a major role in this year's training
mission.
Military
personnel plan to survey the Apalachicola airport to ascertain what
types of aircraft can be safely used there for larger training
missions in the future.
