111th Attack Wing Conducting Drill At Horsham Base

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — The Biddle Air National Guard Base will be active on Horsham Road over the next four days.

But Horsham Township officials are telling residents not to worry — it's only a drill.

Township officials said residents may notice increased activity at and around Biddle Air National Guard Base from Thursday through Sunday.

The 111th Attack Wing is conducting a Combat Readiness Inspection, officials said.

"This is a planned exercise designed to evaluate readiness and ensure Airmen are prepared to respond to real-world missions," officials said.

During this drill, residents may see or hear:

• Increased emergency vehicle activity (fire and rescue)
• Temporary gate closures or traffic changes near the installation
• Helicopter operations
• Simulated noises associated with training

Township officials said that access to the installation will be limited to authorized base personnel only during this period.
