In the Leadership course, students analyze fundamental concepts, logic, and analytical frameworks used in the development and application of leadership at the senior level in a joint environment.

In the Warfighting course, students synthesize current and emerging joint warfighting and enabling capabilities across the range of military operations -- to include special emphasis on the employment and sustainment of Air, Space and Cyberspace forces in a joint, interagency, and multinational military environment. In addition, students synthesize Campaign Design, Theater Campaign Plans, and the Joint Operational Planning Process through which combatant commanders set the military conditions for attaining national and coalition objectives as both a supported and supporting instrument of power.
