9. 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
11
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.

Command (NSTC) was established in
Great Lakes, Illinois. The program’s
office is located in Pensacola, Florida.
