Air Assault School Information



Air Assault School follows a standard POI (Program of Instruction) throughout the Army. So no matter where you take the course you will all learn the same critical tasks. Each location however, will vary slightly due to geography, resources available, instructor experience, etc. but the core of the course will be the same. The following documents are published by the Warrior Training Center at Fort Benning, GA, but will still provide you with a solid background and an advantage wherever you may attend AAS.
