HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M.-- Forty eight Airmen graduated from Holloman’s Airman Leadership School during a ceremony at Club Holloman, Dec. 15, 2022.

Airman Leadership School 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 frontline supervisor. Topics covered include leadership, followership, communication skills and the profession of arms.

Airman Leadership School 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 promoting to master sergeant and senior master sergeant, respectively.
