Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall is holding an active shooter training exercise this morning.
The exercise is being held from 9 a.m. to noon. Locals should expect at least one of the base’s gates — the one near the Sheraton hotel along Columbia Pike — to be closed periodically during the exercise.
From the JBMHH public affairs office:
Please be advised that emergency response activity may be seen at the base and in the surrounding communities during the exercise.
Henderson Hall Gate 1, off Southgate Road and S. Orme Street in Arlington, will be closed intermittently between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. during the exercise.
All other gates, to include Hatfield and Wright Gates, will remain open. Drivers to the base should plan to use the other gates between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. to avoid the Gate 1 closure. As a reminder, both Henderson Hall Gate 1 and Wright Gate are for DoD ID card holders only.
Please refer to JBM-HH Facebook at www.facebook.com/jbmhh for additional updates.
