HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. --

Forty-eight Airmen graduated Sept. 22, 2020 from Airman Leadership School at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico.

ALS is a six-week military education course designed to prepare new staff sergeants and senior airmen for supervisory duties and is required before fulfilling the role of 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 Airmen and all graduates are awarded the Noncommissioned Officer Development Ribbon.
