Fort Knox is advising its neighbors that the cicadas are not the only thing making some noise this summer.
The installation is advising that military training set to take place now through June 19 may result in increased noise and vibrations. According to a post on the U.S. Army Fort Knox Facebook page, “Exercises involving aircraft, maneuvers, and weapons firing in daytime and nighttime hours are an important aspect of maintaining critical capabilities and readiness of all units.”
More noise comes on the heels of more people on the scene as the first regiment of cadets arrived for summer training last week.
“It is the biggest Army summer annual training event,” said Fort Knox Garrison Command Sergeant Major Alex Licea. “We have over 8,000 young cadets from colleges and universities across the country right here at Fort Knox. In addition to these amazing cadets, we have 5,000 soldiers from across the Army supporting that training, so we are really, really excited to house them at Fort Knox.”
