FORWARD

Welcome to the Army Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) Program at Enterprise High School. JROTC provides an excellent opportunity for total personal development with an emphasis on the principles and techniques of leadership. The learning experience in JROTC also compliments your other academic studies and will be useful to you in any future career.

There are many important lessons you must learn as you prepare to take your place in the world. One of the most important is the true meaning of the American way of life and why millions have freely defended its ideals and principles with their lives, their fortunes, and their honor. Through a close relationship with the JROTC instructors, you will learn, first-hand, of our heritage and your responsibilities in maintaining and preserving the freedom we enjoy, yet so often take for granted! Second, you will learn self-discipline, an indispensable ingredient of success that involves self-control and a sense of personal responsibility that goes far beyond the threat of punishment or mere obedience. Third, you will learn to accept responsibility, not only for your own actions, but also for the actions of other cadets for whom you are responsible. Finally, and most importantly, you will learn and practice leadership.

You have inherited a great challenge by joining the EHS JROTC Program. Enterprise JROTC has been noted for its overall program excellence and more specifically for its top quality cadets. You will be judged by your attitude, actions, and achievements and will be expected to perform every task as faithfully and conscientiously as you would expect it from others. Your actions in the classroom, on campus, and in the community, particularly when in uniform, will be continuously observed and evaluated by others. You must set the best possible example! To succeed, you will have to properly manage your time between all your academic subjects and recreation. To assist you in this endeavor, the instructor staff/cadre are standing by to help guide you through any problems which you may encounter. The SAI and AI’s are always open and available to help you!

Enterprise High School is an “Honor Unit with Distinction”, a unit rating earned by only the top JROTC Units in the nation. I challenge you to work hard and do your part in achieving this lofty goal! Take advantage of the many leadership opportunities and extracurricular activities offered through JROTC. By doing so, your high school career will be even more rewarding and memorable.

Again, welcome to the JROTC Program at Enterprise High School and best of luck for the upcoming school year!

SECTION I

GENERAL

1. PURPOSE This regulation provides general policies and procedures for the information and compliance of the cadets enrolled in the Army Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps at Enterprise High School. It is a supplement to the Enterprise High School JROTC Standing Operating Procedure. As a cadet, you are expected to acquire knowledge, self-discipline, patriotism, a sense of responsibility, and respond to properly constituted authority, all of which will better prepare you for the future.

2. PRINCIPLES / CONCEPTS / CHARACTER OF THE PROGRAM The mission of the United States Army’s Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) is to "Motivate Young People To Be Better Citizens”. The Program is designed to teach high school students the value of citizenship, leadership, service to the community, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment, while instilling in them self-esteem, teamwork, and self discipline. Its focus is reflected in its mission statement. JROTC prepares high school students for responsible leadership roles while making them aware of their rights, responsibilities, and privileges as American citizens. The program is a stimulus for promoting graduation from high school, and it provides instruction and rewarding opportunities that will benefit the student, community, and nation.

3. JROTC CADRE The JROTC cadre is composed of retired military personnel who are highly qualified and trained in the art of military science. They bring with them a wealth of knowledge from years of military service during periods of war and peace. They administer the program in an atmosphere designed to develop the qualities of leadership. This is accomplished through classroom and extra-curricular activities.

4. CADET OBLIGATIONS Each cadet is expected to adhere to by the rules and regulations of the JROTC Department; to perform each assigned task as well as they can; to wear the uniform correctly and with pride; to strive to improve themselves and others; to respect the flag and the nation; and to treat others with dignity, courtesy, and respect.

Although the JROTC Program at Enterprise High School does deal with some military subjects, a cadet does not incur any military obligation whatsoever.

5. HISTORY The Junior ROTC Program is a national program authorized by law, enacted by Congress, and conducted by the Department of the Army in cooperation with Enterprise High School. The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps was organized under authority of Section 40 through 47c of the National Defense Act of 1916 as amended and by Public Law 88-647 "ROTC Vitalization Act of 1964" for the purpose of providing military training to students of universities, colleges, and high schools.

CW3 Luther E Reynolds joined the staff in August 1975 as the fifth instructor. LTC Lunsford retired at the end of school year 1977-78 and was replaced by Col. James T. McQueen. CW3 Gerald Hartley replaced CW3 Luther Reynolds in April 1980. SFC Edgar retired 1 January 1988 and was replaced by CW4 Jack Hollen who retired at the end of SY 88-89. Master Sergeant John R Duhaime retired on 30 July 1988. CW3 Hartley retired at the end of SY89-90. SGM Johnny L. Snodgrass and First Sergeant (1SGT) James L. Fuller joined the staff on 30 June 1990. LTC McQueen retired at the end of the SY90-91, and was replaced by LTC Robert Simmons who served for 10 years and was replaced by LTC Dave T. Sutton.

SECTION IX

CADET OF THE MONTH & NCO OF THE MONTH COMPETITION

43. GENERAL The purpose of the Cadet of the Month and NCO of the Month Competition Boards is to ensure that the LET I and LET II cadets are maintaining a high level of excellence and to generate a spirit of friendly competition between companies. Both boards are gender indifferent, which means cadet board participants, may either be male or female. Cadet of the Month Competition Boards and NCO of the Month Competition Boards will be held once each month on the first Tuesday of each month. These boards will be held in the JROTC Department prior to school and are conducted by the Battalion Staff.

44. ELIGIBILITY OF CADETS All LET I cadets are eligible except those cadets who have already won their board competition and/or have already participated twice during the current semester. All cadets in Alpha and Bravo are eligible to participate regardless of cadet leadership position.

45. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPANY COMMANDERS

a. Submitting cadets : Company Commanders must choose, 1 month prior to Board, one cadet, male or female, to go before each board. This is done so that the participating cadets can plan their schedule to arrive early on the day of competition. The Company Commander will simply write down the names of his/her cadets on a piece of paper and leave it in the Battalion Commander’s “in-box” located in the cadre office.b. Training of cadets : The Company Commander is responsible for briefing each of their Cadet/NCO board representatives on board procedures and training them in order to insure a competitive performance.c. Awards Ceremony: All Company Commanders or a designated representative will attend the Awards Ceremony.

46. PROCEDURE FOR BOARDS

a. General. Cadets will be judged in the fourth (4) areas as follows: uniform appearance, drill performance, military knowledge, current events and presentation. Other areas that help to determine a winning cadet are bearing and confidence. At the appointed time, cadets are to go promptly to the designated classroom where their board is being held in order to save time. Cadets that are missing shall receive no points either for them or their company.

19

b. Scoring : Throughout the entire competition, cadets will be graded on a variety of things. All point scores will be on a scale between zero and three. The cadet with the highest number of points at the end of the competition will be the winner. In the event of a tie an oral military knowledge test will be given to determine the winner.

c. Uniform Inspection : Cadets will be inspected to see if their uniforms are worn correctly. All cadets will be standing at the position of “at ease.” When an inspector approaches the cadet, the cadet will go to the position of attention. The cadet will hold that position until the inspector is finished and walks away.

d. Drill Performance : While cadets are still in their formation, the second stage of the competition will be conducted. The Board President will drill the cadets on their knowledge of the movements at the halt. Scoring criteria will still be on a scale between zero and three.

e. Military Knowledge/ Current Events: The longest stage of the competition is the formal interview. Cadets will individually be interviewed to see how much they know about military knowledge and bearing. The procedure of this stage is as follows:

1) Each cadet, in order of company, will be called to report to the board in the JROTC classroom. To report in, the cadet will knock three (3) times on the door and wait for verbal permission to enter. After entering and closing the door, the cadet will approach the board member table and stop two (2) steps before the center of the table. If a chair is present, the cadet will walk to the left (clockwise) of the chair and stop immediately in front of it. The cadet will then salute the Board President and report in by saying, “Sir/Ma-am, Cadet (rank) reporting as directed.” As soon as the president lowers his/her salute, the cadet will do the same. The cadet will not sit until told.

2) The board members will ask a series of five (5) questions and one bonus current event question. The cadet will not only be graded on how accurate his/her answers are, but also in the manner that the questions are answered. Always remember to use the correct title for the individual asking the questions and act in a proper manner.

3) If seated during the interview, the cadet will sit at the position of attention. When answering questions when seated, the cadet will turn his/her head in the direction of the person asking the question and then back to the front when finished answering. If at attention, the cadet will always stay in the same position until dismissed.

4) When dismissed, the cadet will report out. To report out, the cadet will stand, salute the president of the board, wait for him/her to salute, execute an about face, and leave the room in the most direct manner. If a chair is present, the cadet will not do an about face, but stand and face to the right as in marching and leave the room again in the most direct manner, preferably going right (clockwise) around the chair.

20

5) When a cadet leaves the board room, he/she shall under no circumstances reveal information about the questions or any other part of the board until competition is complete and the winner has been announced.

Smart appearance and proper conduct of a cadet in uniform is an indication of self-respect, pride, alertness, and loyalty to one's school and to the nation. Proper wearing of the uniform is imperative. Always remember that you are judged by your appearance, and the way you look in your uniform reflects credit or discredit upon you and the Cadet Corps. The JROTC uniform should be worn with pride. See Section XVII for the placement of awards on the uniform.

a. Each cadet will be issued a Class B uniform and regulation JROTC insignia in accordance with current Department of the Army Regulations and the Unit SOP. Uniforms will normally be worn one day of each school week, as designated by the Senior Army Instructor. On that day, the complete uniform will be worn all day. Prior permission to change to civilian attire during the day for special school trips or shop related classes must be obtained from the JROTC cadre. Failure to wear the uniform on Uniform Day is considered a major uniform violation and will result in demerits, which affect your academic grade as well as failure to be considered for promotion at the end of the 9- weeks.

CADET RESPONSIBILITIES & DUTIES

102. PURPOSE: To outline the principle responsibilities and duties of each member in the battalion.

It runs from Battalion Commander through the Battalion Sergeant Major, through the Company First Sergeants, through the Platoon Sergeants and finally through the Squad Leaders to the Cadets and then returns via the same lines of communication. It is used to conduct Cadet NCO/Enlisted business.
