| Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps |
Department
of Defense Dependents Schools (DoDDS) Pacific is
proud to include the Junior Reserve Officer Training
Corps (JROTC) curriculum at all DoDDS Pacific high
schools. JROTC makes many opportunities available
to our students. Each year our DoDDS Pacific
high schools have many JROTC cadets who earn military
academy appointments and college or university Reserve
Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships,
and many cadets elect to go directly into the military
with skills that enable them to earn rank much faster
than other recruit.

The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) is a program authorized
by the National Defense Act of 1916, and Public Law 88-647, 13 October
1964. The original concept of the program was to offer a non-compulsory
cadet corps aimed toward making better citizens. Each branch
of the military service has established a JROTC program representing
the mission, history, traditions, and leadership doctrine of the service
to educate high school students. A compilation of JROTC program
objectives include the following: |
• Develop informed and responsible citizens
• Develop self-control and restraint
• Promote patriotism
• Develop leadership
• Promote civic duties
• Develop strength and character
• Promote incentive to live a healthy drug free life
• Develop respect and understanding for constituted authority
• Provide information on military services
|
The content of the JROTC curriculum is related to the mission of each branch
of the service; however, all of the programs strive for the program
objectives above.
