GUAM - The U.S. Navy and Air Force will conduct live fire exercises on the island of Farallon de Medinilla from 8 a.m.-1 a.m. on Sept. 9-10, and 2 p.m.-midnight on Sept. 11.

The general location of this activity will be on the island of Farallon de Medinilla Training Area on a 10 nautical mile radius on all quadrants. The general public especially fisherman, commercial pilots and marine tour operators are advised to stay clear from this area during the time and date indicated.

Farallon de Medinilla plays a special and unique role in national defense because its location provides access frequency that supports established training requirements. In addition, the air and sea space in the Farallon provides sufficient room for the many different attack profiles necessary to replicate training opportunities in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

For more information, contact the Joint Region Marianas Public Affairs Office
at (671) 339-6114.

This news announcement was prepared from a media release provided by the Joint Region Marianas Public Affairs Office.
