What kind of leadership roles can cadets assume in NJROTC?

In NJROTC, cadets can assume various leadership roles, which include titles such as squad leader and company commander. These positions are designed to develop leadership skills, instill confidence, and teach responsibility within the organization.

Being a squad leader or company commander allows cadets to take on significant responsibilities, such as leading their peers in training exercises, planning and executing activities, and serving as a liaison between the instructor and the cadets. This hands-on experience is critical in nurturing effective leaders who can motivate and manage teams, a fundamental aspect of the NJROTC program.

The other options suggest more limited or specific forms of leadership that do not capture the full spectrum of opportunities available within NJROTC. The program emphasizes a holistic approach, and thus provides cadets with a range of leadership experiences both within the unit and in broader contexts. These roles foster personal growth and prepare them for future challenges, whether in military environments or civilian life.
