JROTC: Organization
Each branch
of the US Armed Forces maintains a Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps,
organized into units.
Prior to 1967 the number of units was limited to 1,200. The cap was increased to
1,600 units in 1967 and again to 3,500 units in 1992; the statutory limitation
on the number of units was struck from the law in 2001. Their goal is to reach
3,500 units by FY 2011 by encouraging program expansion into educationally and
economically deprived areas.
Units are set up according to the layout of their parent service, often referred to as the "Chain of Command." Army and Marine Corps JROTC units follow the battalion, or in cases of larger size, brigade structure. Air Force JROTC units are composed structurally based on size wing if more than 251 cadets, group if more than 101, squadron if more than 51. Navy JROTC typically follows the company 100-149 cadets, battalion 150-299 cadets, or regiment 300+ cadets structure depending on the size of the unit.
