30-Count Drill Sequence

All cadets are required to demonstrate a minimum proficiency in drill by the end of their first year in JROTC. Each cadets drill proficiency is measured by evaluating their performance during a 30-Step drill sequence. The 30-Step drill sequence was developed by Headquarters Air Force JROTC and is used as a measurement tool during all unit evaluations. All 2nd-Year and above cadets must know how to command the 30-Step drill sequence.
