PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Peterson Air Force Base members will conduct emergency response exercises April 29 to May 3 as part of the 21st Space Wing's continued commitment to ensure base readiness.

These exercises may cause short delays at all Peterson AFB and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station gates. There will be some traffic disruption and potentially some temporary delays in services in the areas where exercise scenarios are taking place. We ask our mission partners and community members for patience. These exercises provide vital evaluations of Peterson AFB emergency plans and ensure emergency response forces are able to effectively manage crisis events.
