Message from the Commandant
Col William D. Andersen
USAF Special Operations School ________________________________________
Welcome to the United States Air Force Special Operations School (USAFSOS). Our mission is to provide relevant and responsive education to enable Air Commando Excellence in ambiguous and uncertain operating environments. Thus, our primary educational focus is on indoctrination, regional orientation, and advancement of life-long professional development for Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) military and civilian personnel. USAFSOS also provides specialized courses covering command and control of Special Operations Forces (SOF) air assets, and strategies for the appropriate integration of SOF air assets into the Air Operations Center and other areas not covered by our Army, Navy and Marine Special Operations counterparts. We welcome, on a space-available basis, DoD and other governmental personnel outside of AFSOC.
USAFSOS, as AFSOC's center for educational excellence, focuses its courses in three areas: Special Operations, Regional Studies and Irregular Warfare. As such, we offer one-of-a-kind educational opportunities in subject matter from the Dynamics of International Terrorism to Aviation Foreign Internal Defense, to Building Partnership Aviation Capacity.
Throughout our spiraled educational spectrum, we are unapologetically focused on "Turning Airmen into Air Commandos." Again, Welcome to the USAFSOS educational experience.
