741 MSFS strengthens combat skills at Fort Harrison

Under the backdrop of rugged Montana landscape, the 741st Missile Security Forces Squadron honed their ground defense skills during a five-day exercise held from September 16-20. Airmen were greeted by the dry, rocky terrain of Fort Harrison , where they faced a range of challenges designed to simulate real-world combat scenarios. During the exercise, the 741 MSFS Airmen focused on four core areas of base defense: forward operating base operations, close-quarters combat, dismounted operations and mounted operations. These skillsets are critical to ensuring security forces remain ready to defend Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. and its surrounding missile fields.
