SCHOFIELD BARRACKS -- Desmond T. Doss Health Clinic will be conducting an Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection Exercise during the afternoon of Thursday, Jan. 16.
Wait times may be increased during the exercise, so please schedule non-urgent medical appointments on Jan.15 or the morning of Jan. 16.
Clinic staff may be seen evacuating the area, and Military Police vehicles and teams may be seen moving in and around the clinic. There will be no immediate danger to the community, nor any need to report these incidents to the Military Police desk.
The Main Pharmacy, Refill Pharmacy, Lab, X-ray, and Acute Care Clinic will be closed for approximately 5-10 minutes during the exercise.
All residents can also expect to see and hear "Exercise-Exercise-Exercise" alerts and announcements from the clinic mass notification system, from emails, and from websites during the exercise.
Please do not be alarmed; this will only be an exercise. Staff trains each year to ensure teamwork and professionalism in the event they need to respond to an emergency situation.
U.S. Army Hawaii appreciates the community's understanding and continued support of emergency preparedness for our Soldiers and families.
