Some military training expected to be noisy at West Point

WEST POINT – Area residents can expect to hear summer training activities on the military installation at West Point through mid-August to include Camp Buckner and Lake Frederick.
Training for the cadets include infantry operations, artillery firing, weapons training, aviation operations, military engineering projects, training in field communications, demolitions and survival skills techniques.  Training is conducted to simulate the physical and mental challenges cadets will face when they become officers in the Army.
Noise levels will be sporadic during the summer with increased activity associated with Air Assault School in June and during specialized training operations in July.
Residents can expect to see and hear low-flying helicopters in and around the training and cantonment areas during those training sessions.
Summer training will not affect authorized users from attending the West Point recreation areas but may impact some fishing and hunting locations.
