1 Credit The AF 201 course is designed to examine the aspects of air and space power through a historical perspective. Using this perspective, the course covers a time period from the first balloons and dirigibles to the Air and Space applications employed at the beginning of the Cold War. Historical examples are studied to extrapolate the fundamentals of air power, including the tenets of air and space power, principles of war, and Air Force competencies, functions, and doctrine. In addition, the students will continue to discuss the importance of the Air Force core values, through the use of operational examples and historical Air Force leaders, and will continue to develop their communication skills. Leadership Laboratory is mandatory for AFROTC cadets and complements this course by providing cadets with followership experiences.

This survey level course focuses on laying the foundation for teams and leadership. It instills a leadership mindset and motivates sophomore students to transition from AFROTC cadets to AFROTC officer candidates. Topics include skills that will allow cadets to improve their leadership on a personal level and within a team. The course prepares cadets for their field training experience where they put the concepts learned into practice. Coreq: AS 2091.
