    Needs and Uses: The Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps (JROTC)

designed to motivate young people to be better citizens. Educational 
institutions that desire to host a JROTC or NDCC unit may apply using

education opportunities for young citizens through their participation 
in a Federally sponsored curriculum while pursuing their civilian 
education. Students develop citizenship, leadership, communication 
skills, an understanding of the role of the U.S. army in support of 
national objectives, and an appreciation for the importance of physical 
fitness. Title 10, United States Code, Section 2031 and 32 CFR part 542 
provide for the establishment of units by the Department of the Army at 
public and private secondary schools. The Senior Reserve Officer's 
Training Corps (SROTC) program is hosted by colleges and universities 
with the intent to identify, recruit, and acquire selected students to 
serve as commissioned officers in the Regular Army, United States Army 
Reserve, and the Army National Guard, as well as to provide SROTC 
Cadets with the basic concepts and principles of military art and 
science, and a basic understanding of joint and combined operations. DA 
Form 918B is used by institutions with
