If you see more helicopters than usual or
hear the sounds of battle in the distance, you’re likely hearing a major
military training exercise that’s going on across the southeast.
Operation
Emerald Warrior will kick off in Franklin
County
today – the operations is scheduled to run through March the 12th.
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
operation will include ground and air mobility operations including the use of
helicopters and fixed wing aircraft as well as live and simulated munitions
training.
The
groups do not intend to go on private property and have been coordinating with
local low enforcement and any property owners that might be affected by the
operation.
The
military says the impact on civilians should be minimal – but that doesn’t mean
it won’t be loud at times.
The
exercise will also include parts of Liberty
and Calhoun counties.
