Through the different cadet units, they learn how to interact through a “ chain of command “, perform drill techniques, and Marine dress. Through their actions in the units the student cadets attain more responsibilities, earning JROTC rank and a sense of accomplishment.
The student cadets also benefit from working in a team environment. The structure of the unit shows them how a group of individuals can work together to accomplish goals.
