KAILUA-KONA — Hawaii Army National Guard and active duty Army units based on Oahu are also scheduled to conduct various types of training during November at Pohakuloa Training Area.
The training, which may be heard or observed by surrounding communities, will take place Tuesday through Nov. 20 and Nov. 28 and 29, according to the U.S. Army Garrison, Pohakuloa.
The training starting on Tuesday includes aerial gunnery, small arms, and anti-tank gunnery training, Army officials said. On Nov. 28 and 29, the units will be conducting close air support training, which includes the use of jets and helicopters.
Training dates are subject to change based on environmental and other factors. Weather, such as overcast conditions, can increase noise and vibrations, making them sound louder (mortars, artillery, close air support and small arms fire). Should individuals hear noise, there is no immediate danger.
No live-fire training will take place from Dec. 15 to Jan. 5.
