The academy is a leadership development and technical training course designed to educate and develop selected senior noncommissioned officers to serve as first sergeants and advise commanders on matters affecting readiness, morale, welfare and discipline within their units. The program integrates active-duty, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve members and prepares graduates to help ensure a mission-ready force. (U.S. Air Force photo by Billy Blankenship
