The focus of the Army JROTC program is reflected in its mission statement, To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens. "It is a purpose of the Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps to instill in students in United States secondary educational institutions the values of citizenship, service to the United States, and personal responsibility and a sense of accomplishment." (USC Title 10) The program is a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school, and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation. The curriculum focuses on Core Abilities that describe the broad, life-long skills that every Cadet needs for success in future life and career endeavors. The core abilities are a result of the goals and values that drive the JROTC program and are built upon the program’s four years through integrating various lesson competencies and skills throughout the JROTC curriculum. Students in this program are expected to progress through the levels of Leadership Education and Training (Emerging Leader, Developing Leader, Supervising Leader, and Managing Leader) to take on increasing responsibility. National Health and Fitness standards as well as standards related to Civics, Government, Geography and English Language Arts are built into the curriculum.
