Courtesy of Kristin Camper, Community Plans & Liaison Office: MCAS Miramar will be conducting a base-wide lockdown exercise on Tuesday, November 29, 2016, during daylight hours. We do expect some traffic delays on the connecting surface roads and possibly the freeways. The gates will be closed to all non-emergency vehicles and they will be routed away from the base. We have coordinated with SDPD and hope to minimize the impact on the community as best we can.
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, Calif. (November 29, 2016) – Personnel aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar are scheduled to conduct an exercise designed to rehearse procedures in the case of a basewide lockdown November 29.
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 are scheduled to be closed for a temporary period during the exercise. 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 re-route and mitigate traffic related issues outside the gates.
