This January, military units are scheduled to conduct essential training activities at Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA).
Training can occur 24 hours a day, seven days a week on PTA in the restricted airspace. Protecting the health of the force and the community continue to be the Army’s top priority as Hawaiʻi service members maintain mission readiness.
Essential training is subject to change based on safety, weather and other environmental factors. Weather, such as overcast conditions can increase noise and vibrations. Should individuals hear noise, there is no immediate danger.

- January 8 Hawaiʻi Army National Guard small arms training
- January 10-18 Army (Reserves) mortar live fire training
- January 13-24 Army small arms and convoy live fire training
- January 14-16 Hawaiʻi Army National Guard small arms training
- January 18-31 Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or UAS, training
- January 24-28 Marine UXO surface clearance
