MILITARY
Precision. Commitment. Discipline.
In the military, the above qualities help define excellence. For over
30 years, at military airfields across the nation and abroad, CMT has
been aligned with its clients in the armed forces through delivering
consulting services characterized by the very same qualities that
the military demands of its own.
CMT is a recognized leader in the field of military airfield design. In
fact, we are one of the few engineering consultants who boasts an
entire team of professionals dedicated to this mission, from planning
and design to airfield infrastructure. Our breadth of knowledge and
extensive design experience were key factors in CMT’s selection to
facilitate and author the Department of Defense Tri-Service Airfield
and Heliport Planning and Design Manual, a document that sets the
worldwide standard for U.S. military airfield planning and design.

professionals to support their needs but also the confidence that
their CMT partners are truly committed for the long term. With this
