The Senior Leader Orientation Course is a Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF)-hosted program geared toward helping new Brigadier Generals (Active Duty, Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard) and newly-appointed Senior Executive Service (SES)/Defense Intelligence Senior Executive Service (DISES) members become more effective representatives of the Department of the Air Force as they assume greater leadership responsibilities. SLOC provides an opportunity to receive a top-level strategic view of the institutional Department of the Air Force. Additionally, the course incorporates sessions designed to fulfill the requirements of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)-required Senior Executive Equal Opportunity Seminar (SEEOS). SLOC attendance is mandatory for new Active Duty Brigadier Generals and newly appointed career SES and DISES members.
