Robin Sage Training Exercise to Take Place Aug. 23 to Sept. 5

Students from Fort Liberty will participate in the final phase of their Special Forces Qualification Course during the Robin Sage training exercise, set to take place from August 23 to September 5. This exercise, conducted across many North Carolina counties including Moore County, immerses candidates in a simulated environment of political instability and armed conflict, challenging them to solve complex problems and prepare for real-world military operations.

Local residents may notice increased activity, including blank gunfire and occasional flares, but the school has implemented strict safety measures to ensure there is no risk to the public. Coordination with local law enforcement and clear identification of training areas and vehicles are in place to minimize disruptions. See details CBS17.com.
