What is the function of Air Sentries during training?

The function of Air Sentries during training is primarily to maintain airspace surveillance. This role is crucial in ensuring that the airspace is monitored for any unauthorized aircraft or potential threats, thereby contributing to the safety and effectiveness of training operations. Air Sentries have responsibilities that include observing and reporting aerial activity, which helps to maintain an awareness of the air situation during exercises.

This ensures that training scenarios are executed safely while allowing ground and aerial forces to operate without the risk of interference. The emphasis on surveillance also plays a vital role in developing skills needed for real-world operations, where situational awareness of the airspace is critical for mission success.

Other functions like conducting flight training, managing ground troops, or supplying equipment do not specifically align with the Air Sentries’ direct responsibilities during training exercises focused on airspace management and security.
