Indoor Firing Range and Combat Arms Training and Maintenance Facility
Minot Air Force Base, Minot, ND
Minot AFB is located in a region of the US with very harsh winters. This new indoor facility gives the airmen a safe space to train, out of the elements, year-round.
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.
