Members of Peterson Air Force Base will conduct an emergency response exercise Aug. 2 as part of the 21st Space Wing's continued commitment to ensure base readiness.

Visitors and employees should expect delays at all entry gates. There will be some traffic disruption and potentially temporary delays in services where exercise scenarios are conducted.

We ask our mission partners and community members for patience as wing personnel participate in essential training to ensure emergency response forces are able to effectively respond to unplanned crisis situations.
