Summary: The Airman Leadership School (ALS) is a foundational professional military education that develops Airmen and Guardians into warfighting leaders. It focuses on culture, mission, leadership, and problem-solving, enhancing their ability to contribute to the Air Force's mission and national defense.
The Airman Leadership School (ALS) serves as the initial level of professional military education for enlisted Airmen and Guardians across all components, including Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and active duty. The curriculum is designed to provide a foundational understanding of each Airman's role in delivering airpower for the nation. It emphasizes four key learning outcomes: culture, mission, leadership, and problem-solving. Through practical experiences like the 'Mission Lab,' students apply these concepts to understand national defense strategy and Air Force capabilities in the context of great power competition. Instructors observe significant growth in leadership capabilities and teamwork among students, who learn to collaborate effectively, communicate individual responsibilities, and solve complex problems within a joint environment. ALS aims to build a more agile and lethal force by equipping Airmen and Guardians with the necessary tools and experiences to become all-domain joint warfighting professionals.
