Marines to Conduct Training Exercise Near Blythe
BLYTHE (CNS) - Residents in and around the Palo Verde Valley may
notice increased military activity beginning today as U.S. Marines and law
enforcement agencies conduct a training exercise designed to prepare personnel
for operations in urban environments.
Marines with the Camp Pendleton-based 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit
will conduct the exercise through June 3 as part of routine pre-deployment
training, officials said
The exercise, known as Realistic Urban Training, is intended to
prepare Marines for a range of missions in complex urban settings, including
humanitarian assistance operations, tactical recoveries and raids. The training
will be conducted in coordination with local and federal law enforcement
agencies.
Residents may see military aircraft and ground vehicles operating in
the area and hear increased noise associated with the exercise. Officials said
efforts will be made to minimize disruptions whenever possible.
Additional details about the training activities were not made available.
