But an urban exercise planned in the Friendly City by the Sea starting today has raised more than a few questions, town officials said. But not from residents. "We have received some calls expressing concern, but they have been from out of state," said Town Manager Bill Price. "It's not the local people who are concerned." The questions are coming in response to an Internet report from World Net Daily. The posting claims that Marines would replace police officers in Swansboro. The Marines would conduct random checkpoint searches and patrol residential neighborhoods. Not true, Price said. "The Marines are not replacing the police department, and they are definitely not engaging in random searches of our citizens," Price said. The scheduled exercise involves the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. According to public affairs officials, the event will involve Marines and sailors of 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, and is part of their predeployment training prior to their mid-July departure for the Mediterranean Sea. Capt. Gabrielle Chapin, a MEU spokeswoman, said the Marines plan to take care in Swansboro. "If the town were to receive any complaints, then we'll cancel that part of the training," Chapin said. "For instance, we'll only have about seven Marines at a time patrolling down Front Street." The participants will conduct mock patrols and maintain a simulated checkpoint under the watchful eye of the Swansboro police. Military commanders will get practice addressing the concerns of Mayor Paul Edgerton, Police Chief Harry Pugliese and Price in daily meetings. "The checkpoints are for Marine role players who are designated for their exercise," Price said. "Area residents and businesses will not be affected unless they want to play along." Practice patrols are planned for areas of the town south of N.C. 24 to include Church and Front streets. Just as if there was an embassy to be evacuated or humanitarian assistance to be delivered overseas, the military staff members in training will meet with actual town officials every day. "It's the communication that we're practicing," Price said. The media has been invited to view the exercise, attend morning situational meetings and even go on simulated patrols with the Marines. "I can understand the concern of people in other areas who don't have a close working relationship with their local military," Price said. Any questions from residents regarding the exercise should be addressed to the Swansboro Police Department at 326-5151 during working hours or the Onslow County Sheriff's Department at 455- 3113 after working hours. Edgerton, for one, welcomes the Marines. Swansboro, he pointed out, owes the military the favor. "The Marines really helped us after the snow in 1989, hurricane cleanups and our annual Mullet Festivals," Edgerton said. "I'm looking forward to continuing the close working relationship between Swansboro and the Marine Corps."
