WE PREPARE CADETS TO LEAD, SERVE, AND PROTECT OUR GREAT NATION

THE NEXT GENERATION OF SELFLESS LEADERS

Alabama JROTC is the home to Alabama’s future heroes. We are dedicated to producing the next generation of selfless leaders committed to the greater good.

Operating through a dynamic and cooperative network of programs in local Alabama schools, JROTC works to instill in cadets the values of citizenship, service to the United States of America, personal responsibility, and confidence through accomplishment.

JROTC provides skills training and character strengthening to motivate young people to be better students, cadets and citizens. Through JROTC, cadets learn quality leadership, personal responsibility, and the will power to work hard for the greater good as modeled and exemplified by current and veteran heroes of the United States Armed Forces.

Alabama JROTC State President Message

In this hyper-global era, the next generations of young people play a truly vital role in addressing modern challenges and creating innovative solutions.  The JROTC mission statement affirms to “motivate young people to become better citizens,” reflecting its commitment to nurturing and developing young students, equipping them with the skills and values needed to become future leaders.

In JROTC, we empower individuals to develop leadership qualities and skills through organized training, allowing students to cultivate discipline, confidence, and effective teamwork.  As they learn the principles of both followership and leadership, we are better equipped to navigate life post high school.  Whether they plan to join the military, pursue higher education, or attend a service academy, JROTC offers valuable resources for students who aspire to excel in life through its teachings and opportunities, no matter how great their ambitions may be.  It also provides unique opportunities to earn scholarships and stand out from the pools of candidates.

We encourage units to communicate with other JROTC and Career Technical Education (CTE) groups to enhance their personal and professional leadership skills while expanding their networking opportunities by attending Alabama Career and Technical Education-sponsored events such as ACE, JLDC, and the Alabama JROTC State Leadership Conference.

ACE – Academy for Chapter Excellence (September 2024) – is a one-day program designed for cadet unit leaders to improve leadership skills to effectively lead their local unit more effectively.

Alabama’s JLDC – Joint Leadership Develop Conference (October 2024) – with 5,000 students, educators, industry leaders, administrators and counselors attending, is the largest non-athletic joint gathering of students in the Southeastern United States for an educational purpose.

The Alabama JROTC State Leadership Conference (March 2025) —- the perfect opportunity to put your skills to the test, learn from experienced leaders, and develop your skills.  Cadets can apply to become the next year’s state officers to lead and lead the Alabama JROTC program to even greater heights.

We look forward to seeing you all this year and witness the accomplishments of our Alabama JROTC units.  We wish you the best of luck in your current and future endeavors.
