Aims to provide an objective evaluation of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC), which was established in 1916 with the broad mandate to develop good citizenship and responsibility in young people. The research project concludes that JROTC is beneficial to communities and should be expanded and provided with the requisite resources. For the armed forces JROTC's importance lies not in its effect on recruitment, but on its role as a bridge between military and civil society.
