Marine Corps Junior ROTC Program
JROTC Unit Application
The Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (MCJROTC) Program serves to develop informed and
responsible citizens as well as a deep sense of pride and character in high school students. It is a unique program that
stresses the learning of leadership skills that will enhance the lives of the young adults who participate.
In order to fulfill its mission, the Marine Corps JROTC Program seeks to fulfill the following objectives:
- Give students an appreciation for the origin, advantages and responsibilities of citizenship in our country.
- Develop in students an understanding of good leadership skills and the advantages of strong moral character.
- Promote in the students an understanding for the need and application of our national security.
- Develop in students a sense of pride and direction in their maturity and personal discipline.
- Teach students to understand and respect the need for constitutional authority as the foundation of a democratic
society.
We value our partnership with schools across America. MCJROTC is at its essence a Leadership Education Program
meant solely to develop character and citizenship. Although a comprehensive learning environment anchored in a
military structure is not for all students, there is a body of defendable academic knowledge that clearly articulates the
significant benefit to those that choose to participate. Our curriculum was the first to be nationally accredited under
AdvancEd and is directly linked to National Standards. Responding to local challenges, MCJROTC programs can be
implemented in any one of several configurations to include a traditional model, cluster, school within a school, and
stand-alone academy. In an environment of fiscal challenges, many School Districts find a cooperative relationship
attractive, allowing them to provide curricular and extra curricular options at a significantly lower cost. As partners, we
share both common and unique expectations.
Your MCJROTC Program will be expected to not only excel during the school day, but also maintain robust extra
curricular drill and rifle teams supporting the Program of Instruction (POI) and actively participate in community
activities. School support for these activities is expected to be on par with support given to other like activities within the
school.
There exists a contractual obligation for the school hosting the program to “provide a course of military instruction of not
less than three academic years duration as prescribed by the secretary of the military department concerned.” This
contractual language is lifted verbatim from USC 10 that provides the legislative basis for program and financial support
to the school system from the Department of Defense. Thus the school is contractually obligated to execute the program
as intended and reflected in the military services' POI, provide the facilities and support agreed to, and maintain minimum
numbers of qualified participants. However, because we view our relationship as a true partnership we are most willing
to discuss concerns that may reflect the ever-changing social context of public education. We are not adverse to changes
in contractual agreements when mutually agreed to. With the same degree of resolve however, we maintain the
expectation that the contractual obligations of both parties under public law will be fulfilled and that the execution of the
Marine Corps' POI will be as directed and that facilities and other support arrangements are provided as intended.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss possible partnerships. I encourage you to apply for a Marine Corps JROTC unit.
Sincerely,
R. G. Oltman
Director, MCJROTC Program
