ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta is providing notice to residents that military training exercises are being conducted in the area of the city this week.

In a city release on Monday, Alpharetta said the training is ongoing around metro Atlanta and that residents would possibly notice "military vehicles and personnel in the area over the next few days," especially around where Alpharetta and Milton border.

"Members of the U.S. military are conducting essential military training in and around Atlanta over the next several days. The training consists of air and ground mobility operations. Safety precautions are in place to protect participants and residents, along with planning considerations to minimize impact to the community and private property," a statement by military officials on the Alpharetta city website said.

The city's release said there would be no public or media viewing opportunities for these exercises, "but this advisory will provide awareness to the community should they come across this training."

"This is a scheduled training exercise and is not in response to any current world events," the release added.
