U.S. Marines, Sailors and Soldiers will participate in Exercise Pacific Blitz at various training facilities and at sea in the southern California region March 12 - 26, 2019. The exercise is designed to test our forces' ability to plan, communicate, and conduct combined amphibious operations over great distances. Forces will enhance expeditionary logistic capabilities and rehearse concepts in simulated contested environments. Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions within local communities and to normal base operations, but there may be times before and during the exercise with increased traffic around bases or delays in base access. Area residents may also see or hear security activities associated with the exercise starting at the end of February.
