  • Combat arms instructors are security forces personnel who train military members on proper weapon use. These instructors teach up to three classes a day, with an average of 20 students in each class. Safety is vital when firing a weapon and when the instructors are out on the line with students, they take every precaution to ensure everyone leaves unharmed.
