HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE --

Thirty-five Airmen graduated from Holloman’s Airman Leadership School, Oct. 14, during a ceremony at Heritage Park, here.

ALS is a six-week professional development course designed to prepare new staff sergeants and senior airmen for supervisory duties. This training is required before members can fulfill the role of frontline supervisors. ALS topics covered topics including leadership, followership, communication skills and the profession of arms.

ALS is the first of three in-residence courses required for Airmen, and all graduates are awarded the Noncommissioned Officer Development Ribbon. The other in-residence courses include the NCO Academy, which is completed upon making the rank of technical sergeant, and the Senior NCO Academy, which is completed upon entering the SNCO tier.
