Army ends live-fire training at Makua

Schofield Barracks soldiers conduct blank-fire exercises deep in Makua Valley. Live-fire training was halted in Makua in 2004, but had been set to resume. This week, however, Lt. Gen. Benjamin R. “Randy” Mixon, head of the U.S. Army in the Pacific, said the Army will no longer pursue live-fire training in the valley.
