Idaho Residents File Complaint Against Air Force Over Urban Training Exercises

Mountain Home Air Force Base

The Air Force proposed a series of Urban Close Air Support Training exercises to be operated from Mountain Home AFB. These exercises would involve overhead flights coordinating with personnel on the ground in urban and suburban settings. These exercises are of concern to some Treasure Valley residents; a complaint has been filed on behalf of seven individuals and an advocacy organization called Great Old Broads for Wilderness. We talk with Lt. Emileigh Rogers of Mountain Home AFB about the exercises and we'll explore the concerns of the community with claimant Kathryn Railsback and attorney Sarah Stellberg.
