JROTC History:

The U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is one of the largest character development and citizenship programs for youth in the world. The U.S. Army JROTC was established by the National Defense Act of 1916, which organized JROTC programs at public and private educational institutions. In 1964, Congress expanded the program to all military services. As congressionally mandated by Title 10 United States Code, Section 2031, each military must have a JROTC program to "instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment." The JROTC mission is the key to the program's success.
