History of JROTC Program
MCJROTC Logo The Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC), like its senior counterpart ROTC came into being with the signing of the National Defense Act. The act authorized high schools the loan of federal military equipment and the assignment of active or retired military personnel as instructors on the condition that they followed a prescribed course of training. At its inception, the JROTC course consisted of a minimum of three hours of military training per week for a period of three years. Any JROTC graduate who completed this course of military instruction was authorized a certificate of eligibility for a reserve Commission to be honored at age 21.
