Lesson 2The Past and Purpose of Army JROTC9Military And Education: Historical ConnectionsJunior ROTC’s (JROTC) mission “To motivate young people to be better citizens,” has changed very little since 1916 when Congress passed the NationalDefense Act; however, the tradition of combining formal education with military studies goes back as far as the ancient Greeks. Centuries before JROTCexisted, the Greeks, Romans, feudal Europeans, and Japanese had their own versions. In the United States, JROTC had its beginnings in Norwich, Vermont.In 1819, Captain Alden Partridge, a former Superintendent of the United StatesMilitary Academy at West Point, founded the American Literary, Scientific, andMilitary Academy in Norwich, Vermont. This academy is now known as NorwichUniversity. Military studies were a major part of the academy’s course work.Captain Partridge felt that if his cadets were not prepared to defend their country’s rights, their education was incomplete.Key Note TermNational DefenseAct – Enacted in 1916,this act officially created the Reserve Officers’ Training Corp ofwhich Junior ROTC isa part.In addition to extensive drill practice and physical training (including marchesof up to 50 miles per day), the cadets studied Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French,English, ten types of mathematics, five types of law, and military history datingback to biblical times.Captain Partridge’s Academy was so successful that the idea of combining military studies with regular classes spread to other schools in the United States.Where Army JROTC IsArmy JROTC is active in more than 1,550 high schools worldwide: in all 50 of theUnited States, the District of Columbia, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, and otherlocations where the United States has an extended presence.Purpose of JROTCJROTC prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles whilemaking them aware of the benefits of citizenship. Classroom and outside activities, including service learning projects, become opportunities to acquire theknowledge, discipline, and sense of responsibility that are necessary to takecharge of one’s future. The result is responsible cadets who are sure of themselves, can think on their own, and can express their ideas and opinions clearlyand concisely.Desired GoalsLeadership education and training goals are for cadets to: Graduate from high school. Be good citizens by knowing and exercising the rights, responsibilities, privileges, and freedoms of good citizenship.Key Note Termleadership – the ability to influence, lead,or guide others so asto accomplish a mission in the mannerdesired.
