The Air Mobility Warfare Center is about to roll out its new 3.5 day course designed to indoctrinate colonels who are slated to deploy as expeditionary mission support group commanders. The first course is set to kick off Feb. 7 with 18 students. Col. Shelley Christian, commandant of the Expeditionary Operations School at Ft. Dix, N.J., says the new course is the next step in leadership training, by verifying and validating the competency of expeditionary combat force leadership.
