USAF Officer Training School
U.S. Air Force
The United States Air Force Officer Training School (OTS) was established in 1959 at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, to meet the growing demand for commissioned officers. OTS moved to Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, in 1993, consolidating officer training efforts with Air University. The school provides intensive leadership, academic, and physical training for college graduates and enlisted personnel selected for commissioning. Over the decades, OTS has produced thousands of officers who have served in every major conflict and peacetime operation, contributing significantly to the Air Force’s mission and leadership corps.
