An unexpected incident occurred during a US military exercise in California. Shrapnel from an exploding artillery shell fell on a California Highway Patrol (CHP) vehicle used to secure a roadblock on Interstate 5. This highway runs through Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, where the exercise took place.
The exercise was conducted to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps and included live-fire exercises over an active highway. This is an unusual practice as such exercises usually take place in remote areas to ensure the safety of civilians. The incident caused the Marines to immediately stop further shooting across the highway and check the area for further threats.
CHP Border Division Chief Tony Coronado expressed concern about the incident and emphasized that the safety of citizens and officers is the top priority. He highlighted that it is extremely rare for live-fire exercises to take place over a busy road and called for a thorough investigation into the incident.
The incident raises questions about the safety and planning of such exercises, particularly in densely populated areas. Experts are now calling for a review of security protocols and better coordination between military and civilian authorities to avoid similar incidents in the future. The debate about the balance between military necessity and public safety will certainly continue.
