Soldiers were seen training at the abandoned Golden Sails Hotel on the 6200 block of East Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach.<\/p>\n

The city of Long Beach does not have jurisdiction over operational details, police said.<\/p>\n

This event, which was not open to the public or the media, was slated to conclude at 2 a.m. Friday.<\/p>\n

During military exercises conducted from Wednesday night into Thursday morning<\/a> at the former St. Luke Medical Center in northeast Pasadena, residents were awakened by the sounds of gunfire, low-flying helicpoters and triggered car alarms, leading some to speculate that the military was training for urban warfare.<\/p>\n

Also from Wednesday into Thursday, military exercises were conducted in the Irvine area, and residents reported being kept awake by the noise.<\/p>\n
