AFJROTC History
JROTC had its origin in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1911. The originator of this idea was Army Lieutenant Edgar R. Steevers, who was assigned as an inspector-instructor of the organized military of Wyoming. During his assignment, he envisioned a non-compulsory cadet corps comprised of high school students. His program was aimed toward making better citizens. He wanted to teach students the advantage of having a strong body and mind, the value of self-control and the importance of community service. Five years later, in 1916, The National Defense Action of 1916 authorized the Army JROTC program nationwide. In 1964, the ROTC Vitalization Act (Public Law 88-647) expanded JROTC programs to other services. The Air Force opened 20 AFJROTC programs in 1966. Today, we are approaching 900 AFJROTC units with over 121,000 cadets in high schools across the United States and selected Department of Defense Dependent Schools in Europe and the Pacific, and public schools in Puerto Rico and Guam. The AFJROTC program is headquartered at Maxwell AFB, Alabama.
