Warrior Battalion JROTC Procedures:
An Overview
_______________________________________________________________
Purpose. This Warrior Battalion booklet is provided in order to assist you with the operational and administrative requirements of the cadet battalion. All cadets must become well versed with the requirements listed within this text.
Mission. To motivate young people to be better citizens. The Warrior Army Junior ROTC program provides a unique educational experience for students through their participation in a federally sponsored course on leadership. As a cadet you will acquire an understanding of the fundamental concepts of leadership, the application of leadership, our governmental system, history, and many other ¡§life-skill¡¨ lessons. JROTC assists in the total development of high school students so that they become responsible and ready citizens!
Objectives. The program will offer you the challenge of intellectual inquiry under the direction of experienced instructors. The cadet battalion provides an atmosphere designed to develop the qualities of leadership. Through classroom and many other instructional activities, you may acquire the knowledge, self discipline, patriotism, and a sense of responsibility which will assist you in better serving your country as a leader either in a civilian or military occupation.
Key Program Objectives:
(1) Provide and encourage good citizenship & strengthen self-esteem.
(2) Develop leadership potential & Improve physical fitness.
(3) Promote high school completion & incentives to live drug free.
(4) Enhance life skills: Math, English, & Science.
Military Staff: The faculty members assigned to the WIHS JROTC program are retired Army personnel known as the military staff, and are headed by an officer with the title of Senior Army Instructor (SAI). Acting in a dual capacity, the SAI is responsible to the U.S. Army for training and the school principal for the administration of the JROTC program to include training and discipline. All policies governing the JROTC program are approved by the principal of WIHS. The SAI and Army Instructor (AI) are also responsible for the administration and logistics of the program. As teachers and mentors, both instructors are essential to the program¡¦s success.
JROTC Training Course. The major objective is to lay the foundation for citizenship. All cadets will receive military instruction as part of their high school curriculum. There will be a mix of classroom and hands-on activity. Cadets are expected to be present for all scheduled instruction and/or training. Wherever possible, the "learning by doing" method of instruction is stressed.

Battalion Structure, Promotions, Standards, Expectations
_______________________________________________________________
The Cadet Battalion The Warrior Battalion is organized to achieve as much leadership realism as possible. The curriculum provides the cadet with an opportunity to put into practice the theory taught in the classroom. The Warrior Battalion replicates a typical Army organization. The leadership positions are similar to those that would be found in an Army unit. Warrior Cadets command the various units of the battalion with the cadet staff acting in a supervisory and advisory capacity.
Organization. The Cadets are organized as a battalion with the following:
(1) Battalion Headquarters.
(2) Companies B, C, D (2st-4rd periods respectively).
The battalion is commanded by a Cadet Lieutenant Colonel. This Cadet has a staff comprised of an Executive Officer (XO), an Adjutant (S-1), an Intelligence Officer (S-2), an Operations and Training Officer (S-3), a Supply Officer (S-4), a Special Projects Officer/Public Affairs Officer (S-5) and a communications officer (S-6) . Each of the three companies is commanded by a Cadet Captain and each of the platoons within the companies is commanded by Cadet Lieutenants. Various noncommissioned officer (NCO) positions are within each of the three companies.
Positions and Rank. See your Cadet Desk Reference (¡§Blue Book¡¨).
Method of Appointment of Rank and Duty Positions:
A first year Cadet may be promoted up to the rank of Corporal. A Cadet must pass all military subjects with at least a 85%, demonstrate his or her ability to do the job, and meet the necessary promotion requirements. The Cadet must have cleared all (if any) demerits before being recommended for promotion. Promotion through the rank of corporal is based on recommendations by the Cadet/instructor chain of command and approval by the SAI/AI.
Promotions from sergeant through first sergeant are based on the recommendations of the chain of command, achieving necessary promotion requirements, and SAI/AI approval (see the attached Cadet Activity Worksheet worksheet). Cadets are selected for promotion based on available promotion slots and their standing. The SAI and/or AI will approve promotions.
The Cadet Battalion Staff, the Battalion Sergeant Major, Executive Officer, and Battalion Commander will be selected by the SAI based on overall school and JROTC performance, and the other requirements as listed above.
A Second year Cadet may be promoted up to First Sergeant.
A Third Year Cadet may be promoted up to Captain.
Promotions are based on the recommendations of the chain of command, meeting the necessary promotion requirements, and SAI/AI approval. The SAI and/or AI will approve all promotions. All Ranks not given by the SAI or AI must go through the Promotion Board.
Fourth year Cadets do not automatically become officers. They must earn and qualify for the rank of a cadet officer. Some of the criteria for officer promotions includes, but is not limited to the following:
Attendance at a JROTC summer camp
Good merit record
Interest in and participation in JROTC & JROTC activities
Good academic grades in JROTC and school

Promotion Board Procedures:
Promotion will be conducted in accordance with the procedures listed below:
The Cadets will keep their Cadet Activity Sheet in their Portfolios and will have time to update them weekly.
Once it is time to hold a promotion board the Company First Sergeant will collect the cadet activity worksheets from those being considered for the board.
The Cadet¡¦s Company First Sergeant will forward the Cadet¡¦s promotion worksheet to the Cadet Battalion Command Sergeant Major for inclusion into the next promotion board.
Promotion board will meet twice a semester on the dates posted on the battalion calendar.
The board will consist of the Battalion Command Sergeant Major, the Cadet¡¦s First Sergeant and/or Company Commander. The AI will be a part of the promotion board. Each member of the board will have a vote. A majority of votes is required. The AI will have the final say in all promotions. Promotions will be effective immediately upon approval of the promotion board.
As a general rule Cadets returning for their second year will start off at the rank they earned their first year.
See Cadet Activity Sheet.
The Honor Code - ¡§I do not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.¡¨
The Honor Board - The honor board is composed of:
The Honor Board President ¡V Makes final decisions in all areas of the Honor Board, unless consulting with the Cadet Battalion Commander for final disciplinary actions against cadets. The President runs all Honor Board processions, and is the deciding vote in case of a tie when voting on final disciplinary action. The President is responsible for reporting all Honor Board decisions to the Cadet Battalion Commander, and is also responsible for the carrying out of all approved disciplinary actions by either delegating to the Company Commanders, handling it personally, or giving it over to the SAI/AI in severe cases.
Bravo, Charlie, and Delta Company Executive Officers ¡V These three compose the remainder of the Honor Board, and are responsible for reporting offenses and obtaining the list of cadets from their own company who must go in front of the Honor Board. They consult with the Honor Board President during Honor Board processions, and each have a vote on the disciplinary actions to be taken against each cadet. If they can¡¦t make it to the Honor Board, it is up to them to inform their Company Commander and the Honor Board President and have a substitute selected. The substitute must be either the Platoon Leader of the Cadet in question or the Company First Sergeant. The Company Commander should not have to attend Honor Boards due to their very busy schedules and the need to manage other company affairs. Each Company Executive Officer is the Discipline Officer of their company.
The Honor Board Process:
The Honor Board process begins with the Company Executive Officer obtaining a list of any cadets that he/she and the Company Commander feel deserves disciplinary action. This list is then brought to the Honor Board President for review and final approval. All selected cadets will face the Honor Board before school, in uniform, on the Wednesday of every second week. Honor Board processions shouldn¡¦t last more than 5 minutes per cadet, including the voting on action to take. Cadets will formally knock, enter, and introduce themselves to the Board. After taking his/her seat, the cadet will hear why they are being brought before the Board, and will then have a chance to explain their side of the story. Cadets will receive benefit of the doubt if there isn¡¦t evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that they were in the wrong. The cadet(s) will then be asked to leave the room while the Board deliberates a final action to take. The cadet will then be informed of the Board¡¦s decision, and the action will be taken during Friday¡¦s Physical Training session, or during class if time is available. All actions will be approved by the Cadet Battalion Commander and are final. Actions taken will be for positive reinforcement, and may include demotions, which must be approved by the SAI/AI and the Cadet Battalion Commander. The specific actions are set by the SAI/AI.
NOTE ¡V Any illegal, dangerous, or severe acts will most likely be handled immediately by the School and the SAI/AI, not the Honor Board.
NOTE ¡V If any Cadet fails to report a possible offense to their Company Executive Officer, they will also face the Honor Board on the basis of Moral wrongdoing.
NOTE ¡V Company Executive Officers have the right to report any Cadet, regardless of rank.
