PRESS RELEASE: JBSA conducts planned training exercise, power outages possible Published March 24, 2026 502d Air Base Wing Public Affairs JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Joint Base San Antonio is conducting a pre-planned Emergency Resilience Readiness Exercise from March 24 through March 27 to ensure our personnel are ready to respond to a potential severe weather event and widespread power outage. This routine exercise allows us to test our continuity of operations plans and critical infrastructure alongside our local community partners, including first responders and utility providers. The exercise includes very limited, temporary power outages in specific, non-residential areas of the base that have been coordinated in advance. These actions are confined to the installation and are not expected to affect the general public. We are committed to ensuring the safety and security of our community, and exercises like this are a vital part of that commitment.
