Djibouti City residents will experience increased base activity over the coming days due to U.S. and partner nations' Allied Appreciation Day air operations from Nov. 9 through 11.

Low flying aircraft will result in a noise increase during the next two days.

The Allied Appreciation Day event, Nov. 11, will honor the shared partnerships, history, and devotion to peace celebrated during Veterans, Armistice, and Remembrance Days.

Camp Lemonnier will welcome allied and partner nation military members onto the camp for multiple interactive events. Attendees will participate in showcases and demonstrations featuring a variety of allied military capabilities to include a military flyover.

Djibouti, France, Japan, U.K., and  U.S. forces will showcase a variety of equipment that is part of their military operations in the Horn of Africa.
