Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield is launching a series of monthly energy resilience exercises in preparation for the large-scale "Black Start" event scheduled for 2026. To enhance readiness, the installation will conduct these exercises every third Thursday of the month, leading up to the full-scale event. On April 24, Circuit 1 will be temporarily impacted for no more than 90 minutes at both locations. Affected areas include:
- Fort Stewart Circuit 1: Housing areas (Liberty Woods, North Bryan Village, South Bryan Village, Isenhower Terrace, Marne Woods, Marne Point), two Child Development Centers (Buildings 5500 and 7100), two Youth Centers (Buildings 5655 and 7338), four DoDEA schools (Buildings 5601, 5604, 5605, and 7560), and Building 5653 (NEC, IEWP).
- Hunter Army Airfield Circuit 1: Tuttle Army Health Clinic, Commissary, Main Exchange, Montgomery Gate, Gannan Heights housing area, Express (Gas Station), Building 935 (NEC, IEWP), IHG, and Hunter Club.
These proactive measures will help ensure the installations remain operationally resilient in the face of extended power outages. Residents and personnel in affected areas are encouraged to plan accordingly, charge essential devices, and prepare for minor disruptions.
