The Cobb County Police Department has been alerted to upcoming military training taking place in the Marietta and Smyrna areas on and near Dobbins Air Reserve Base. The following information is being passed on to the public at the request of the U.S. Army:

“Elements of the Department of Defense are conducting training in Blairsville, Atlanta, and Marietta, Georgia from 27 September – 04 October, 2020. Aviation assets will be involved in this training, so citizens may experience a higher than normal level of noise associated with military aircraft. This training is fully coordinated with local government officials, and every effort will be made to fly friendly and limit inconvenience to the local communities. Extensive safety precautions are in place to protect the service members and local citizens and to limit inconvenience to the communities. Due to inherent risks to personal safety, there will be no opportunities for public viewing of this training.”

We do not have any additional information regarding these military training exercises. Any media inquiries should be directed to U.S. Army Public Affairs Officer, Captain Jeff Slinker at 931-216-3436.
