Air Command and Staff College, senior professional military education school of the U.S. Air Force
The Air Command and Staff College is a military school in Montgomery, Alabama, where mid-career officers study leadership and strategy. The facility offers a one-year program for around 500 students in person plus online courses for more than 9,000 participants from all branches of the US military, federal agencies, and 65 partner nations.
The school was founded decades ago and has evolved over time while keeping its focus on training leaders. It has grown from a single in-person program into an institution that offers both classroom and online instruction.
The college draws officers from over 50 countries who share their cultures through cooking clubs and cultural exchanges. This international community creates friendships across borders and shapes daily life in Montgomery.
The campus is not open to the public, but visitors can view it from the outside and appreciate its importance to the air force. Classroom instruction runs from morning through early afternoon, with evening hours dedicated to study and project work.
The program offers a combined graduation with a master's degree in Military Arts and Sciences, not just a certificate. This academic component makes it a comprehensive development program for officers.
