JROTC Teams and Staff

All cadets in the JROTC program are allowed to participate in any of the following extracurricular teams:

DRILL TEAMS

Armed Regulation (Commander - C/SFC Malvankar, M):

This team does basic marching with rifles. Though having previous marching experience is helpful for marching, cadets also have to learn how to salute their weapon, switch from shoulder to shoulder, and control their rifle. Attention to detail is a very important aspect of Armed Regulation, and it is a great way to improve marching skills while simultaneously learning something new. The motions of Armed regulation must be precise, on time, and show control and skill. It shows the dedication of the entire Armed platoon, and highlights the control and precision of every rifle movement. It is a great way to show the dedication and kinship of the members of the Lions Battalion.

Armed Squad (Commander - C/SFC Burstein, B):

This team is the same as Armed Regulation; however, the team consists of only six competing cadets and their commander. Armed Squad is reserved for LET 1's and at most a single LET 2, typically the commander. The team executes a regulation routine that shows many moves that are necessary for the precise mobilization of the squad, and the movements are practiced enough to show the cadets' discipline, along with the uniformity that comes with determined practice.

Armed Exhibition (Commander - C/2LT Kim, S):

This team is less about marching and more about preforming advanced rifle tricks and movements. Participating in such a team allows cadets to learn various maneuvers such as spins and exchanges. As one of the most complex teams, cadets are required to put forth effort, dedication, and commitment. Basic marching skills aren't enough to be a part of Armed Exhibition since cadets must not only handle their rifles with caution, but also be aware of everyone else around them. With time and practice, the synchronized optics of the rifles in exchanges are stunning.

Armed Inspection (Commander - C/2LT Mellacheruvu, S)

This team does minimal marching. Typically made of cadets from Armed Regulation and Armed Exhibition, everyone is inspected. As weapons and uniforms are looked at, cadets on this team are asked questions ranging from basic knowledge of JROTC to current events in the world.

Armed Color Guard (Commander - C/2LT Li, Daisy)

A group that consists of 4 or more cadets that present the colors at special events including games, ceremonies, etc. A minimum of 2 cadets carry various flags as well as 2 cadets that carry a rifle.

Unarmed Regulation (Commander - C/2LT Geevar, S):

The Unarmed Regulation team is a singular platoon formed with 12 cadets that consist of both in-place and marching commands. This is followed by a sequence where cadets execute the given commands with their sharpness, alignment, and bearings when performing. This team will help improve teamwork skills and teach cadets how to be performers in a professional manner during competitions.

Unarmed Squad (Commander - C/SFC Jeon, E):

Unarmed Squad is similar to Unarmed Regulation, but the team consists of only six to eleven competing cadets and their commander. This team is also typically reserved for LET 1's and at most two LET 2's.

Unarmed Exhibition (Commander - C/1SGT Kim, J):

Unarmed Exhibition is the JROTC version of a step team. It is a type of drill performance where precision and synchronized movements without using any weapons are emphasized. There is nothing basic involved in the marching, and while cadets don’t spin or exchange rifles, they are still as impressive as they create routines that take skill, attention, and timing. Participating in this team gives cadets a sense of creativity.

Unarmed Inspection (Commander - C/1SGT Sher, Almeera):

This team is the same as Armed Inspection only without the weapons aspect. Because there are no weapons, these cadets are mainly judged on their uniforms and knowledge. Cadets memorize and answer various questions about both the United States and the JROTC program.

Unarmed Color Guard (Commander - C/1SGT Leidemer, Ella)

A group that consists of 4 or more cadets that present the colors at special events including games, ceremonies, etc. A minimum of 2 cadets carry various flags as well as 2 cadets that carry a rifle.

RAIDERS

Raiders Athletic Team (Commander - C/MAJ Manley, D):

The team is a physically demanding team that focuses on building strength, endurance, and teamwork through challenging activities. Cadets participate in events such as obstacles courses, runs, rope bridge, and physical fitness challenges.

ARCHERY

Archery Team (Trained by SFC Boone):

A team of cadets that practice their accuracy and team camaraderie through the shooting of arrows. The team focuses on discipline, concentration, and personal improvement while fostering a supportive environment for all members.

JLAB (JROTC Leadership & Academic Bowl)

Leadership Team (Commander- C/2LT Mellacheruvu, S):

1,329 JROTC leadership teams compete from around the world, of which only 40 earn top scores to advance to the National Leadership Bowl competition. People in this team are the top 1% of individuals in over 500,000 organizations.

Academic Team (Commander-C/2LT Mellacheruvu, S):

Cadets compete in a quiz bowl on a variety of topics that test their knowledge across a range of academic subjects, including JROTC and others.
