DOD Returns To Tinley Park for Ideal Training Location

The U.S. Navy will conduct urban warfare training on July 15th, 17th, 23rd and 24th at the closed Tinley Park Mental Health Center. This area is closed to the public and is a State sponsored event.

So why in Tinley Park? This facility provides the most ideal training conditions for the military and first responders.  Everyday this State facility is utilized by public safety agencies in the local area but also from across the country.  For every hour of actual mission or incident response there is around 10- 20 hours of training time to prepare. The unique set up of the facility allows our first responders and military to simulate real time/real world conditions that allows them a mission ready posture 24/7.

More updates will be provided as information becomes available.
