MCENTIRE JOINT NATIONAL GUARD BASE, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Air National Guard is hosting special operations forces from Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia for some night time military exercises.
Maj. Jim Roth says exercises are taking place this week at McEntire Joint National Guard Base near Eastover. Roth says neighbors should not be alarmed by increased air traffic noise from aircraft or training ammunition.
The Air Guard is hosting members of the 75th Ranger Regiment so they can train its special operations forces conducting forcible entry operations and military raids.
The commander of McEntire's 169th Fighter Wing Col. Mike Hudson says McEntire is trying to reduce noise, but wants the community to understand how important it is for the military to stay well trained for potential combat operations.
