Noise advisory: Active-duty Army training to be conducted in Hilo

The U.S. Army is notifying the public that active-duty training will cause some noisy conditions in Hilo this weekend.

Army units will conduct training Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 5-6, at Keaukaha Military Reservation. The training will be restricted to 8 a.m.-8 p.m., during which time residents in the area might hear simulated artillery and machine gun fire and helicopters landing on the Hawai‘i Army National Guard training facility.

While sometimes loud, the training is critical to ensure military units and service members are mission-ready and return home safely.

To report concerns related to noise or training, contact U.S. Army Hawai‘i’s Noise Concern Line at 808-656-3487 or reach out via email to usag.hawaii.comrel@army.mil.
