EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska --  As part of ongoing DISTANT FRONTIER operations, members of the 25th Air Support Operations Squadron, 13th Fighter Squadron and 354th Security Forces Squadron will be participating in a training exercise today through 4 August on Eielson AFB, AK.

As part of this exercise, there will be increased movement on and around the
base, specifically in the area near the contingency dormitories and RED FLAG
operations.

For the three days, a three to four vehicle convoy consisting of HUMVEEs,
Blue Government Owned Vehicles, and civilian vehicles will meet outside of
the contingency dormitories near the RED FLAG building (Bldg 1151).

The convoy will proceed from the contingency dorms by RED FLAG operations
(Bldg 1151) to the east side of base and 'seize' the Survival, Evasion,
Resistance, & Escape storage facility located approximately four miles to
the east, and will then return to the start point.

On Tuesday, exercise participants may be seen using smoke and simulated
weapons for this operation.

In order to avoid extraneous calls to "Eagle Eyes" and the security forces,
it is imperative base personnel are aware of the composition of the convoy
and the operations they will conduct.

Please take note of the above information when reporting suspicious
behavior. As always, if something seems out of the ordinary, please contact
"Eagle Eyes" at 377-5130.
