SHAWNEE TOWNSHIP, OH (WLIO) - A routine training exercise is taking place on the south side of Lima this weekend.
The Department of the Army 304th Engineer Company will be conducting a vehicle rescue exercise on the north side of Apollo Career Center on Sunday. The training includes patrolling and looking for unexploded ordinates. These exercises are an essential part of their mission in the event they needed to be mobilized. The weapons will not be fired during the training and there is no danger to the public.
"It is completely controlled. Myself and all of our leadership here are definitely on top of it. We already cleared it with the police department and we have also cleared it with Apollo," says Captain Brennen Smyth with the Department of the Army 304th Engineer Company.
These exercises are conducted once a month and occur throughout the year as their mission to support active duty.
