HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- Forty-eight Airmen graduated from Holloman’s Airman Leadership School during a ceremony at Club Holloman, Feb. 16, 2023.

ALS is a six-week professional development course designed to prepare new staff sergeants and senior airmen for supervisory duties and is required before taking on the role of a frontline supervisor. Topics covered include leadership, followership, communication skills and the profession of arms.

ALS is the first of three in-residence courses required for enlisted Airmen and a requirement for promotion to staff sergeant. The other in-residence courses are the NCO Academy and the Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy, which are prerequisites for promotion to master sergeant and senior master sergeant, respectively.
