SOS launches new, refocused curriculum
U.S. Air Force Col. Steve Ayre, Squadron Officer School commandant, speaks to new SOS students at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, July 31, 2025. The new SOS curriculum is aligned to the Air Force Force Generation, or AFFORGEN, deployment model with tasks derived directly from DCW mission essential tasks, better preparing captains for what they will see both deployed and at home.
