Navy plans training at Indian Island

PORT HADLOCK — Naval Magazine Indian Island has scheduled a training exercise for Tuesday.

Training activities will include boats on the water near the pier’s security barrier, blank ammunition, loud sirens and bright blue flashing lights.

Residents living in the communities surrounding Indian Island and installation personnel could notice increased noise levels and activities associated with the training exercise that day.

Personnel participating in the exercise will comply with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Defense by implementing physical distancing when practicable and by wearing cloth masks, the Navy said.

The Navy said it conducts security exercises at installations across the world to ensure readiness and verify response procedures.
