Resident Advanced School

The Advanced School is an intermediate level seven-week course for Marine gunnery sergeants (E-7s).

During this school, Marines will continue to learn, at a more progressive level, about the various aspects of ethical leadership, professional warfighting, and sound decision making.

This school will focus on the theories behind Marine Corps command and control, the challenges of leadership development, and the fundamentals of expeditionary force at the tactical level.

This school will provide a better understanding of the translation of policy into action.
