A security exercise at Robins Air Force Base caused a reported hour and a half traffic delay Wednesday.  According to Public Affairs Chief Chrissy Miner, the entrances and exits to the base were shut down as part of the exercise.

The two-week long management exercise is a way to test the security of the base. Base personnel will practice scenarios involving different security threats during that time.  According to a news release from the base, Ardent Sentry kicked off Wednesday.  It is a national, multi-agency exercise that will last through the first two weeks of May.
