ERPSS (En-Route Patient Staging System) is a specialized U.S. Air Force Medical Service Unit that provides temporary care for Aeromedical Evacuation during Sentry South 26-2 at Combat Readiness Training Center Gulfport, Mississippi, March 03, 2026.
Sentry South 26-2 is a large force employment exercise focused on major combat operations and joint maritime opportunities in a contested or degraded operational environment. Sentry South 26-2 applies joint and combined warfighting doctrine against realistic and robust enemy integrated threat systems, all while under safe and controlled conditions.

As the Sentry-South Southern Strike exercise roared over the Gulf Coast and south Mississippi January 26 – February 6, 2025, an unassuming building at Combat Readiness Training Center Gulfport was at the center of the action. The Combat Training Systems building is colloquially called the LMOC for “Live Mission Operations Capability.”
Earlier this year, the 172nd Airlift Wing initiated Team Magnolia, designed to foster resilience and help create an Airman-to-Airman connection. This new team equips Airmen with the correct resources so they can receive essential services.
