Ranks of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps

Last updated

Members of the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps are assigned various ranks , the titles and insignia of which are based on those used by the United States Armed Forces (and its various ROTCs), specifically the United States Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S Space Force, and the U.S. Coast Guard. Rank requirements vary with schools. Some specialties require cadets to pass promotion tests while others only require recommendations by superiors and the needs of the unit.

* Cadet captain is the rank that the leader of a NJROTC unit holds if the unit has reached the cadet enrollment requirements to be rated as a regiment. It is a relatively rare rank. As of June 2013, there are only 5 regimental-sized units out of the 584 NJROTC units worldwide. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
** Although the positions and titles of rank match those of the Armed Forces' pay grades, JROTC cadets are not serving members of the military, and receive no pay, and only receive benefits or privileges based upon the situation of the time (staying in military quarters, and using base exchanges, commissaries, dining facilities, and MWR facilities while on training trips, etc.) This is in direct contrast to Cadets/Midshipmen of the Senior (University Level) ROTC programs, in which those students can receive pay/stipends, benefits, and privileges, depending upon their contract status.
