Army Junior ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) is designed to develop character, self-discipline, responsibility, leadership and an appreciation of good citizenship. For the LET (Leadership Education Training) 3 - 6 levels, the course focuses on citizenship, the constitution, leadership, military drill, physical fitness, ethics, decision-making, government, the Constitution, and military history. Further, LET 3 - 6 cadets are part of chain of command and, as leaders, are expected to set a proper example at all times.

LET 3 and 5 are the fall course numbers for 2nd and 3rd year cadets. 

LET 4 and 6 are the spring course numbers for the 2nd and 3rd year cadets.

 The senior level leadership consists of 4th year cadets.  These cadets are carefully screened and selected and are few in number due to the limited number of positions.  These cadets must be self-starters and extremely mature for their age.  Representative tasks the 4th year cadets perform include, but are not limited to: Preparation and conduct of cadet training, cadet discipline, promotion boards, battalion publicity, cadet administration and property accountability.

LET 7 is the fall course number for 4th year cadets.  LET 8 is the spring course number for 4th year cadets.  Refer to the LET 7 syllabus for specific grading rules for these upper level cadets.
