WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN TRAINING AT GULFPORT

Gulfport Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) provides units the most cost-effective way to accomplish mandatory Status of Resources and Training Systems (SORTS) reportable and other contingency training requirements. Training at Gulfport CRTC helps ensure Air National Guard (ANG) units are Ready, Reliable, and Relevant by providing a broad spectrum of operational training infrastructure to deployed and regional users that cannot be fully duplicated at the local unit level. Gulfport CRTC allows visitors the opportunity to expand home base training and provide Ready Aircrew Program (RAP), Ready JTAC Program (RJP), and Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) specific training that may be unavailable or cost prohibitive at home station.
