The JROTC program was the brainchild of Army
inspector LT Edgar R. Stevens, who in 1911 chose
to begin teaching high school students the
values and discipline of a military life in the
hope of molding these students into better
citizens.

The JROTC program was established with the
signing of the National Defense Act of 1916, and
the first program began at Levenworth High
School, Kansas in 1917.

WW I
WW II
After the first and second World Wars, the JROTC
program saw little to no growth due to limited
funding and personnel.
10
This lack of growth prompted Congress to pass the
JROTC Vitalization Act of 1964, which allowed the
other service branches to offer JROTC as well.
The first Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training
Corps (NJROTC) programs began in 1966.
10
11
Today there are 620 NJROTC programs in the
United States, Japan, Italy, and Spain.
12
The JROTC Vitalization Act, charges the Secretary
of the Navy (SECNAV) with the maintenance and
continued support of the JROTC program.
13
To this end, the Naval Service Training Command
(NSTC) was established in Great Lakes, Illinois.
The programs office is located in Pensacola,
Florida.
