ALTUS AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- The 97th Air Mobility Wing will be conducting an Antiterrorism/Aircraft Hijacking Exercise the week of 15-19 November 2021.

Installation Entry Points will not be affected. Emergency response vehicles and first responders will be responding accordingly for this exercise.
Exercises of this nature are critical for evaluating Department of Defense response actions to an Antiterrorism incident and to prepare for this in the most realistic manner. Base and community personnel have been and will continue to be intently focused on improving response plans for the safety of everyone on the installation.
