Squadron Officer School

The Squadron Officer School (SOS) in-residence program is a 5 week educational experience for USAF and USSF captains. The purpose of SOS is to develop solution-minded, bold, and courageous Airmen and Guardians ready to overcome tomorrow's challenges. The course is structured around four areas: Leading, Communicating, Warfighting, and Thinking. Students will engage in classroom and hands-on application events to lead themselves and their team, to foster a strategic and creative mindset, to resolve conflict effectively, to collaboratively solve problems, and to gain foundational knowledge on airpower doctrine, international paradigms, and joint all-domain warfare to learn to lead in uncertain environments.
