Which PME course aims to enhance students' understanding of self-awareness, leadership, and joint warfighter attributes?

The Senior Noncommissioned Officer Distance Learning Course is designed specifically to enhance the professional development of senior NCOs by focusing on self-awareness, effective leadership, and the key attributes necessary for joint warfare. This course prepares students to lead and exercise authority in multi-service and joint environments, encouraging them to reflect on their leadership styles and how they can improve while also fostering an understanding of the broader military context in which they operate.

In contrast, the Junior Enlisted Academy primarily serves to provide foundational leadership skills for junior enlisted personnel, while Officer Training School is focused on training new officers, emphasizing officer responsibilities and leadership in a general sense rather than NCO-specific development. Basic Military Training is essential for instilling fundamental military skills and discipline in new enlistees but does not focus specifically on leadership at the levels addressed in senior NCO courses.
