Course Descriptions
Leadership Laboratory
Leadership Laboratory (LLAB) is a dynamic and integrated grouping of leadership developmental activities designed to meet the needs and expectations of prospective Air Force second lieutenants and complement the AFROTC academic program. It is a student planned, organized, and executed practicum conducted under the supervision of the Detachment Commander and Commandant of Cadets. LLAB cadets are classified into one of four groups with respect to field training attendance and/or commissioning:
Freshman (AS100)
ASST 1011/1012: Initial Military Training (IMT)
The focus of IMT objectives/activities are to promote the Air Force way of life and help effectively recruit and retain qualified cadets. This time is spent acquainting the cadets with basic Air Force knowledge and skills to help them determine whether they wish to continue with the AFROTC program.
Sophomore (AS200)
ASST 2011/2012: Field Training Prep (FTP)
Cadets are scheduled to attend Field Training in the upcoming year. The FTP objectives provide training to ensure every cadet is mentally and physically prepared for the rigorous field training environment.
Junior (AS300)
ASST 3011/3012: Intermediate Cadet Leaders (ICL)
Cadets returning from Field Training. ICL objectives/activities give cadets the opportunity to further develop the leadership and followership skills learned at field training.
