Residents of Ventura County will notice increased aircraft activity and noise beginning Sept. 9 as Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) hosts large force test events.
Multi-service aircraft, surface vessels and unmanned systems will be participating, staging and launching from Point Mugu. Aircraft participating in the event will operate largely during regular airfield hours, but extended airfield hours will be required to support some test events. Operations are expected to last approximately two weeks.
Residents in Camarillo, Oxnard and Port Hueneme may experience increased noise levels during peak times (8 a.m. to 7 p.m.).
NBVC is a major shore warfighting platform that provides sustained, ready forces to deploy, fight, and win. It consists of three operating facilities: Point Mugu, Port Hueneme and San Nicolas Island. NBVC is home to the Pacific Seabees, West Coast E-2D Hawkeyes, three warfare centers and more than 100 tenant commands.
