Help diagnose engine trouble (pretty sure it's alternator)

2010 f150 5.4L
Problem 1) it's a ford
Problem 2) battery not staying charged (brand new battery, just no juice left in it). If I jump it and disconnect the cables, it immediately dies when I disconnect the cables.
If I jump it and let it sit for a few min then disconnect cables, it'll run for a few seconds then die.
Alternator?
Truck aids?

Alternator is most likely but you can get it checked to verify at places like AutoZone.

Don't see what else it could be and there is a way to test it before you take it anywhere for a diagnosis. Check youtube for videos. Also, I don't think they are that hard to change yourself. Just refer to youtube.

vehicles start using the electrical charge in battery
vehicle run using the electrical current from the alternator
if the alternator is bad, it will run off the batter charge until the battery is dead
change your alternator
