Statement of Requirements HQ AFJROTC Air Rifles

1.0 PURPOSE. The mission of Air Force Junior ROTC is to "develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community." The program achieves this through classroom education in air and space fundamentals and hands on learning opportunities in several fun and challenging extra-curricular activities. Without these critical tools and full support of the other extra-curricular activities use by AFJROTC, the program becomes “classroom only”, likely result in a decline in enrollment.

Additionally, since this type of challenging, fun, and innovative learning tool is what truly draws new cadets into AFJROTC, many recruiting opportunities will be lost at units that do not receive the Air Rifles. The result will be a smaller number of high school students who are exposed to the Air Force.
