Upcoming Army Rotary Training On Northern Oregon Coast
- 02/10/26
SALEM, Ore. - The Oregon National Guard’s Camp Rilea Training Center, near Warrenton, Oregon, is scheduled to host active-duty Army rotary training missions over February 10- 11, 2026. The visiting unit is located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, near Tacoma, Washington.
Army rotary wing aircraft are scheduled to conduct daytime operations in and above both the Camp Rilea Marine Danger Zone and Camp Rilea Training Center. The training will take place in the afternoon hours on both days, for several hours, in coordination with the outgoing tide.
Safety personnel will be positioned on the beach in order to maintain sufficient safety margins near Pole 1, north of the vehicle access point at Sunset Beach, and Pole 3, south of De Laura Beach.
“Conducting this training at Camp Rilea allows us to replicate realistic conditions while remaining mindful of the surrounding community. We work closely with local partners to ensure our operations are conducted safely, responsibly, and with minimal disruption. Being a good neighbor is part of how we maintain trust while preparing Soldiers for real-world missions,” said Henry Idica, Camp Rilea Training Site Manager.
Camp Rilea Range Operations Range Status, to include scheduled live fire ranges and night operations, can be found on the Oregon Military Department website at https://www.oregon.gov/omd/rilea/Pages/Range-Operations.aspx
