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.
