Here's everything about Department of Defense's military training operations

Authorities have clarified that sightings of enigmatic black military helicopters flying low reportedly are part of the Department of Defense's military training operations, which are being carried out at different locations in North Texas throughout the week.

According to a report by Dallas City News on Thursday, December 7, the Department of Defense has notified the Dallas Police Department about their plans to carry out military training exercises across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex from December 4 to December 16.

The exercises will encompass both air and ground mobility operations throughout the Metroplex, including Dallas.

The Dallas Police Department, in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies in North Texas, will reportedly be assisting the Department of Defense during these training operations.

Safety measures have been put in place to ensure the protection of residents and those involved in the training.

While efforts have been made to reduce the impact on the community and private property, residents should anticipate potential traffic delays.

There will be no opportunities for public or media viewing. However, this advisory aims to inform the community should they encounter this training.

It's important to note that this is a planned training exercise and is not in response to any ongoing global events.
