ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, South Dakota – Combat Raider, a military training exercise involving various aircraft, is scheduled to begin July 19 in the Powder River Training Complex (PRTC) and will conclude on July 23, 2021.
Combat Raider provides joint and coalition flight training with realistic scenarios that support full spectrum operations against modern threats replicating today’s combat operations.
There is a potential for increased noise levels for areas around Ellsworth Air Force Base and throughout the PRTC.
A map of the airspace is available for reference on the Ellsworth Air Force Base website at https://www.ellsworth.af. mil/Portals/146/documents/AFD-151103-009.pdf.
As a reminder, non-military aircraft should thoroughly review the Federal Aviation Administration’s Notices to Airmen, or NOTAMs, and review flight plans to avoid the PRTC. This can be done by calling 1-800-WXBRIEF, or visiting online at https://sua.faa.gov/ and http://www.1800wxbrief. com.
The NOTAMs for the exercise, issued by the FAA 72 hours prior to its start, will act as the final official notice.
