Air Force Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM)
instructors are specialized personnel who train military and civilian
members on weapon safety, operation, and maintenance, primarily
focusing on systems like the M-4, M-18, M-240, and M-203.
They manage live-fire ranges, ensure weapon proficiency for
deployments, and serve as subject matter experts on small arms.
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
war-fighting doctrine against realistic and robust enemy
integrated threat systems, all while under safe and
controlled conditions.
