SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii (September 30, 2025) Local Army units are scheduled to conduct routine training activities in October that may be heard by surrounding communities.

Training can occur during daytime and nighttime hours and is subject to change. Weather, such as overcast conditions and Kona winds (southerly) can increase noise and vibrations. Should individuals hear noise, there is no immediate danger.
