Description
National Security and Commissioning Preparation I is designed for college seniors and gives them the foundation to
understand their role as Air or Space Force officers and how they are directly tied to our National Security Strategy. It is
an overview of the complex social and political issues facing the military profession and requires a measure of
sophistication commensurate with the senior college level. The topics covered will include civilian control of the
military, national security strategy, the department of defense, joint operations, unified combatant commands, how
the department of the air force deploys as well as the law of war to name a few. Leadership Laboratory (AER 001) is
mandatory for Air Force ROTC cadets and complements this course by providing advanced leadership experiences in a
hands-on, supervised environment. NOTE: This course is offered in partnership with the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
