The Enlisted Academy develops senior enlisted SOF professionals to think critically, creatively, and ethically about dynamic and complex problem sets at operational and strategic levels, creating the ultimate “Warrior-Diplomats.”

The Enlisted Academy offers four Career Education Programs (CEP) targeting SOF Professionals from the E-6 to nominative E-9-levels. Each program represents a unique opportunity to engage with peers from other services, the Interagency, and our international SOF partners and allies. The curriculum combines hybrid distance learning in a synchronous environment and “in-resident” classroom collaboration to achieve desired outcomes. Together, these CEPs form a continuum of education that evolves along with the SOF professional over their career, preparing them for positions of greater responsibility and influence. The professional relationships formed while attending the CEPs will pay dividends over a SOF Professional’s career.
