In to learn, out to serve: Six decades of leadership education

Airman Leadership School students collaborate on a mental task during the Commandant’s Functional Expeditionary Challenge at the Elmendorf Professional Military Education Center on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, March 30, 2026. By pairing high-intensity functional movements with immediate academic testing, the challenge simulates the mental fog of combat to ensure leaders can recall critical regulations and course material under physical stress.
