The National Defense Act of 1916 authorized the first JROTC units. The 88th Congress of the  United States through Public Law 88-647 established the Air Force Reserve Officer’s Training  Corps (AFJROTC) program on October 13, 1964. With a modest beginning of 20 units in  1966, Air Force Junior ROTC has grown to over 600 units throughout the world.  

The Armijo AFJROTC California 71st (CA-071) Cadet Group was activated in  September 1972 at the start of the 1972-1973 school year. Our cadet group enjoys a proud  tradition and a fine reputation having been recognized many times as an AFJROTC Meritorious  or Outstanding Unit.

Come out tonight, May 3, to the main gym to help us celebrate the 50th year of Armijo’s AFJROTC at the annual ROTC Awards Ceremony! We will begin at 6 pm
