The Presidio of Monterey, in partnership with the City of Monterey, will conduct

An active training exercise is to be conducted by The Presidio of Monterey, in partnership with the City of Monterey, on Tuesday, Sept. 7. The exercise is designed to test the ability of each organization to identify and respond to various situations, and to improve collaboration during multi-jurisdictional events.

A helicopter ambulance is scheduled to land on Presidio’s Soldier Field in the morning as part of a mass casualty training segment. Periodic gate delays can be expected not to exceed five minutes, testing Presidio’s ability to respond to exercise situations.

The area around Presidio Museum, known as Lower Presidio will be used for training. Noise can be expected throughout the day. Emergency vehicles will respond as part of the exercise so expect traffic to Lower Presidio to be affected and redirected.

Additionally, a simulated Hazardous Material exercise will be staged at the PX complex at Ord Military Community, vicinity of Gen. Jim Moore and Gigling Roads, from 1 to 4 p.m. Emergency personnel will be operating in the area, although no road closures are expected.

Small smoke devices will be used but NO chemical agents will be employed.
