1. Situation. Joint-service professional development opportunities
for enlisted Marines are limited. However, Marine Corps University,

established a long-term relationship with the United States Air Force

limited number of seats for eligible Marine Corps students. This
academy is located at Gunter Annex, Maxwell Air Force Base (AFB),
Alabama. The AFSNCOA is an intensive five-week course comprised of
the following core areas: Senior enlisted leader organizational
leadership environments, national, military, and air power strategy,
and integrated deterrence and strategic competition. During the
course, students will be required to read, write extensively, and
publicly speak.
2. Mission. The Deputy Director, Marine Corps Senior Enlisted
Academy (MCSEA) will manage the quotas and coordinate the attendance
of qualified Marines to the AFSNCOA.
3. Execution. Course Specifics are as follows:
