Between Sept. 20 to 25, soldiers will undergo training in an urban environment at secured locations, the city said.
The exercises will be held in an unoccupied buildings and settings that troops may encounter when deployed, officials said.
Residents may hear whirring helicopters, simulated weapons sounds and controlled explosions as doors are breached.
Some of the training will include night flight operations, resulting in increased aircraft noises.
“The U.S. Army sincerely appreciates the cooperation and understanding of citizens and local businesses near training, and apologizes for any possible inconvenience,” Army spokesperson Col. T.J. Rainsford said.
Dayton police officers will be on site to ensure people stay away from training areas.
“The meetings and planning for this training began more than a year ago,” Dayton police Chief Richard Biehl said. “Dayton has a long history and strong relationship with the U.S. military, and we are honored to be able to provide support to the U.S. Army as they conduct valuable training in our city.”
