FORT INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa. – Approximately 4,500 service members from the Army and Air National Guards, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Army Reserves will participate in Warfighter 18-1, an exercise being held here from mid-September to mid-October.
Local residents and installation tenants should expect increased traffic and military activity.
This is the second time Fort Indiantown Gap has been selected to host a division-level warfighter exercise, following Warfighter 17-2 held here in October and November, 2016.
Warfighter exercises are computer-simulated. They are designed to train and test military units on command and control procedures and communication while responding to various scenarios.
The New York National Guard’s 42nd Infantry Division will be the primary training audience during the exercise.
Fort Indiantown Gap, headquarters of the Pennsylvania National Guard, is the only live-fire, maneuver military training facility in Pennsylvania and the busiest National Guard Training Center in the country.
