Welcome to the Arnold Air Foulois Squadron
About
Arnold Air Society (AAS) is the professional, honorary, service organization of AFROTC that advocates the support of aerospace power.
The Benjamin D. Foulois Squadron is hosted at the University of Notre Dame AFROTC Detachment 225 and is a proud part of AAS Area VI. Service is foremost in our minds as we seek to contribute to our campus, community, and country by giving our time and talents. Ultimately, our primary mission is to grow as future leaders of the United States Air Force.
