Courtesy of MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR Public Affairs Office:
Personnel aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar are scheduled to conduct an exercise designed to rehearse procedures in the case of a base-wide lockdown from 1:30 – 2:30 PM on Tuesday, May 3, 2016.
The exercise is an opportunity for Miramar personnel, family members, retirees and visitors to practice lockdown procedures in the case of a potential emergency.
All MCAS Miramar entry and exits gates (such as those on Miramar Road and Kearny Villa Road) are scheduled to be closed for a temporary period during the exercise.
The gates will be closed to all non-emergency vehicles and they will be routed away from the base. MCAS Miramar has coordinated with SDPD and hope to minimize the impact on the community.
Members of the community may experience a slowing of traffic near MCAS Miramar for a temporary time. Military police will monitor and diligently work with local law enforcement to reroute and mitigate traffic related issues outside the gates.
Military police will also restrict traffic flow on the base and personnel will be subject to military checkpoints during the exercise.
Local residents may hear announcements over the MCAS Miramar speaker system during the exercise.
