4 months agoCamp Pendleton says Interstate 5 won't be closed during Saturday's live-fire exercise
Responding to criticism from lawmakers, Camp Pendleton says it will not seek to shut down all or part of Interstate 5 on Saturday when it stages a live-fire amphibious assault exercise in the presence of Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. All training events will occur on approved training ranges and comport with established safety protocols, the base said in a statement issued at 10 p.m. on Wednesday. No public highways or transportation routes will be closed.
