This is the only comprehensive study of the Cadet Movement. It is a military and social history of the Junior Training Corps (the forerunner of the Combined Cadet Force), the Sea Cadet Corps, the Army Cadet Force and the Air Training Corps. Today's Army and Air Cadet Organisations were founded in response to the threat of war. Indeed, the history of the Cadet Movement from the threat of invasion in 1860 to the end of the Second World War is inextricably bound up with war. The army cadets were officially recognised when they became part of the Volunteers Movement - forerunner of the T.A. By 1910, the Navy League had amalgamated the sea cadet units to form a national organisation. Many boys joined the cadets as a response to the Boer War, and army cadets went to war in South Africa. In 1914 cadet training was geared to preparing boys for full-time military training in the Services and for combat. In the 1930s Britain once again prepared for war and thousands of youths responded to the country's needs by joining the cadets. The Second World War saw the inauguration of the Air Cadets. Surprisingly, many cadets units participated in the direct defence of the country.The Cadet Movement had two aims: the production of responsible citizens and the preparation of cadets for the defence of the country. This book demonstrates that the Cadet Movement was much more than just another uniformed youth organisation. The cadets, their volunteer officers and instructors responded to the needs of the country even - especially -in times of war.
MISSION: The mission of Army ROTC is to commission the future officer leadership of the United States Army. We strive to meet that mission by offering a classroom curriculum that focuses on developing bright, capable college students into leaders. In our leadership lab, students are given the opportunity to apply the skills they learn in a tactical setting. Since physical fitness is a necessary quality for a future officer, cadets participate in physical training. Army ROTC prepares you for a lifetime of successes. While earning a degree in the field of your choice, you will receive leadership training in judgement, decision-making, values, ethics, communications, critical thinking, management and analysis. We strive to impart all cadets with a sense of self-motivation, discipline, initiative, service, patriotism, and integrity. PURPOSE OF THE HANDBOOK:The purpose of this handbook is to provide general information on Army ROTC. This handbook gives an overview of our program, illustrates how the uniforms are worn, and should answer most questions new cadets have about being a cadet in the Tiger Battalion. This handbook should become a well-worn reference and is designed to be used throughout a cadet's career. It is intended to be a clearinghouse for basic information and should be referenced whenever a question arises. OVERVIEW: The Mizzou Army ROTC program offers classroom instruction, a weekly leadership laboratory, physical training (PT), periodic field exercises, and several extra curricular opportunities. A cadet in the Basic Course (also known as Military Science and Leadership I and II), can expect to spend one to two hours a week in class, two hours a week in lab, and three hours a week conducting PT with the battalion. Cadets in the Advanced Course (also known as Military Science and Leadership III and IV) spend twice as much time in class, fill leadership and instructor positions at lab and PT, and devote time to preparing leadership assessments and evaluations.
