ALGER COUNTY, MI— The Michigan Air National Guard will use a section of M-28 between Wetmore and Shingleton Tuesday for military exercises.
Twelve planes will touch down and conduct other operations on the 9,000 stretch as part of the guard’s “Northern Agility 22-1” exercises. The event will focus on Agile Combat Employment—an application to Air Force operations that enables crews to deliver air power anytime, anywhere to complicate an adversary’s decision making.
M-28 east of Munising will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A detour will be posted.
Hanley Field in Alger County and Sawyer International Airport in Marquette County will also be involved in the operations.
