Noncommissioned officers are widely considered to be the backbone of the U.S. armed forces. They lead by example, exuding superior professionalism, competency, and values. Airmen Leadership School is the first level of their professional military education and the first step for every Airman to becoming a noncommissioned officer.
ALS is held at 68 active-duty locations and one Air National Guard location. The school has successfully graduated thousands of U.S. Air Force personnel over the decades, and this is the first time Republic of Singapore Air Force members have graduated ALS in Air Education and Training Command.
