On Thursday, April 20, 2023, the 823rd REDHORSE squadron will conduct their monthly explosive demolition training between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the Hurlburt Field Range.

During the training, nearby residents may hear loud noise or feel the vibrations associated with the demolition charge detonations that are planned to occur periodically throughout the day.

REDHORSE officials advise if the humidity is high or if there is cloud coverage, the effects can seem louder and closer than on clear days.
