‘Large Force’ military test begins in Southern California

Naval Base Ventura County in Point Mugu is starting a “Large Force Test Event” on Friday, and it’s expected to last approximately two weeks. According to a news release, residents in the Point Mugu, Oxnard, and Camarillo areas will notice an increase in aircraft activity and jet noise levels. The test includes an array of military aircraft, surface vessels and unmanned systems– all of which will mostly operate during regular airfield hours, but some will require after-hours testing.
