About Army JROTC
"Army JROTC teaches you to lead"
The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is a program put forth by the United States Armed Forces in high schools across the nation that train high school students in leadership and Military Sciences. The program is entirely run by the cadets, with the assistance of two or more retired servicemen, a senior instructor (officer) and an assistant instructor (enlisted). In certain situations, there may be more than one assistant instructor.
The JROTC units are setup according to the layout of their parent service. Army JROTC units follow the battalion structure. In military terminology, a JROTC battalion consists of two to six companies typically commanded by a Cadet lieutenant colonel. A company is the name given to all of the cadets within a school class period. Each Company is commanded by a Cadet captain. The company may consist of either one or two platoons. Each platoon, commanded by a platoon leader, can have anywhere from 6 to 16 cadets. A platoon also consist of squads. Each squad is commanded by a squad leader. A squad is the smallest group of cadets within an Army JROTC battalion.
