Hawaii Guard begins anti-terror exercise on Kauai

Advertiser Staff

The Hawai'i National Guard's 93rd Civil Support Team today began its annual weeklong anti-terrorism training exercise on Kaua'i.

While the exercise is taking place, a portion of the Vidinha Stadium parking lot and access road will be closed, and county officials are advising the public to stay away from the area.

The county Civil Defense Agency is co-sponsoring the training with the Hawai'i National Guard to ensure that county, state and federal agencies and private industry will be prepared in the event of a terrorist attack on the Garden Island.

The training will test anti-terrorist response plans through various scenarios.
