Providing firearms training for Minot Air Force Base, this facility provides live fire training in a 35-lane firing range and a 4-lane machine gun range. Range
operations are controlled from elevated range control booths – one is shared between the 35-lane firing range and the other one is dedicated to the machine
gun range. This facility also includes a Combat Arms Training and Maintenance Facility (CATM). The CATM component includes two classrooms with a folding
partition wall between them, allowing the classrooms to be combined into a larger instructional space.
