Marines training around Gulfport

The Marine Corps will continue to conduct training exercises in the Gulfport, Miss., area around Naval Construction Battalion Center (NCBC) Gulfport ‪through Nov. 20. These exercises are not in conjunction with any training currently being conducted at NCBC, but the Marine Corps has coordinated the exercises with local law enforcement. The training will include devices that can produce noises that sound like gunfire and explosions, and military tactical vehicles and helicopters will likely be used during this event. Once training begins, it should last between two and three hours. This training poses no public safety threat, and Gulfport law enforcement personnel will be on site, according to the NCBC Facebook page. (Source: NCBC Gulfport 11/15/19)
