Oahu-based service members are scheduled to conduct artillery training at Pohakuloa Training Area between Wednesday (Aug. 12) and Aug. 29.

Intermittent training noise may be heard in surrounding communities. If individuals hear noise, there is no immediate danger, accord to the Army. Weather, such as overcast conditions, can increase noise and vibrations.

While sometimes loud, the sounds of training represent how the military ensures the nation’s service members are ready to accomplish the mission and return home safely.

To report concerns related to noise or training, community members can call the U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii Noise Concern Line at 656-3487 or email usaghi.comrel@gmail.com. The USAG-HI Public Affairs Office responds to all reported concerns during regular business hours, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Specific training dates and times are subject to change based on environmental and other factors, according to the Army.
