Don't Be Alarmed, New Emergency Training Happening In Killeen, TX

Killeen, Texas is often the setting for several types of drills and emergency training as the home to Fort Cavazos and a major urban area at the doorstep to Texas Hill Country. Each year, the many first responder agencies of the area, the Transportation Security Administration, and participating commercial airlines go through an annual training exercise at the Killeen Regional Airport.

This year's drills are scheduled to take place on Thursday evening at 7 PM to include a mass casualty triage and a command/control of emergencies. The increase in activity and heavy response presence will cause quite a demonstration of emergency apparatus for about 3 hours.
