Army JROTC Cadets 'fall in' at National Drill and Fitness Championship
U.S. Army Cadet Command (Army ROTC)
May 7, 2023 | 10:29
Marching through sunshine and rain, over 5,000 Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) Cadets showed up on the beaches and the drill pad to put their fitness and teamwork on display at the 2023 JROTC National Drill and Fitness Championship.
The competition held May 5-7 at Daytona Beach, Fla., highlights the hard work and dedication of the best JROTC teams from across the nation.
With programs traveling from as far away as Hawaii, five of the six JROTC service branches were represented during the Unarmed and Armed Exhibition Drill, Color Guard, and Inspection events. In each event, Cadet teams are exposed to high pressure environments under the watchful and heavily critical eyes of all-service judges.
JROTC is one of the largest character development and citizenship programs for youth in the world, currently operating in over 1,700 high schools. JROTC aims to motivate students to be better citizens and develop a sense of personal responsibility as they move throughout the different stages of life.
