US troop maneuvers in Kallmünz: What residents need to know now!
From April 11th to May 10th, 2026 there will be increased military activities in the region of the VG Kallmünz member communities. This is announced on the city's website Duggendorf.
During the period mentioned, several activities of the US armed forces are planned that are important for the residents. In particular, increased military convoys, the use of helicopters, tracked vehicles and drones are expected. In addition, the use of maneuver ammunition and pyrotechnics is planned.
Exercise objectives and safety measures
The primary goal of these exercises is to maintain defensive readiness. However, these activities can also lead to short-term disruptions, such as vehicles or marching troops, which could impact local infrastructure.
To ensure safety during the maneuvers, residents are asked to keep a certain distance. It is particularly important that if ammunition or ammunition parts are found, the site should not be touched and the police or the Bundeswehr should be informed immediately. These instructions are crucial to avoid possible dangers and ensure the safety of all citizens.
The city administration hopes to provide early information and safety instructions to support the smooth running of the exercises and to promote the population's understanding of the necessary military measures.
Such exercises by the US armed forces are important not only for the region, but also for the entire defense architecture in Germany. The military presence and training activities play a central role in national and international security strategy.
