The development of Airman Leadership School, and all professional military education, is based upon the premise that the Air Force needs efficient leadership at all levels. ALS is the first phase of an ongoing three-phase PME program designed to gain that leadership. McGuire's ALS is a 24-day, 192-hour course which focuses on preparing senior airmen to accept greater responsibilities as supervisors and rating officials.
