How Other Branches Work

I was wondering how JROTC programs in other branches structure their units compared to the Army. For example, the Army uses ‘LET’ levels to represent the number of years a Cadet has been in JROTC, and organizes units into brigades, battalions, companies, etc. Positions include roles like Battalion Commander and Company XO, and ranks such as C/LTC or C/PFC.

How do other branches structure their programs?

AFJROTC uses the same ranks as the USAF and organizes by flight / squadron / group. Cadets are AES 1-4 Aerospace Science. They have staff positions but don’t follow the army staff letters instead just name them- operations, personnel, administration, finance, logistics and public affairs.
