Junior ROTC Senior Army Instructor

The mission of Army Junior ROTC is “to motivate young people to be better citizens.”

Senior Army Instructor (SAI) duties (excerpt Cadet Command Regulation 145-2):

The SAI, in coordination with the senior school official, will establish procedures relating to the administration, control, and training of JROTC Cadets. These procedures will cover the appointment, promotion, and demotion of Cadet officers and noncommissioned officers. The SOP must be approved by the senior school official. The SAI will - (1) Manage and conduct the JROTC unit according to school rules, regulations, and customs. The SAI will advise school authorities of laws and regulations affecting the unit.

(2) Maintain good relations with school authorities, faculty, the student body, and the community.

(3) Conduct a public affairs effort in the local area middle and elementary schools, among school and community officials, civic groups, parent-teacher groups, and other individuals or groups, designed to further the understanding of JROTC, the school, and the Army.

(4) Enroll students in JROTC and support school officials while executing the curriculum and the integrated extra-curricular activities.

(5) Prepare weekly training schedules.

(6) Maintain contact with parents of all Cadets experiencing academic or behavioral problems.

(7) Ensure JROTC unit areas are neat and orderly; current chain of command photos, Cadet creed, core abilities, and mission statement are present; and all sensitive items are secured.

(8) Ensure instructors share teaching responsibilities. No instructor is exempt from teaching a fair-share of the program of instructionI. Instructors should teach by expertise and preference in subject areas, rather than strictly by curriculum levels. All instructors (SAI/AIs) are responsible for teaching the JROTC curriculum.

(9) Maintain a current copy of the JROTC Agreement (DA Form 3126), a completed service-learning checklist/rubric, a current copy of a bond/insurance certificate, and required JROTC Unit Management System reports. The SAI will also complete the instructor forms DD3200, DD3202, be approved through the Child Care National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (CNACI) background check, and complete the Cadet Command Instructor Certification.

(10) Maintain accountability of all equipment, IAW AR 710-2, including items requiring formal accountability (i.e., air rifles), informal accountability (i.e., clothing), and durable items costing $5,000 or less (i.e., automation, computers, audiovisual), but still require property accountability.
