ROTC/JROTC Recognition Program
The SAR awards the ROTC Medal to foster the principle of the "citizen-soldier", exemplified by the Minutemen of
Revolutionary War days. This award is presented by a Chapter, a State Society, or the National Society to ROTC or JROTC
cadets who are selected for having a high degree of merit with respect to leadership qualities, military bearing and
general excellence. The recipients are selected by the Commanding Officer of the ROTC or JROTC unit, who should be given
full latitude in making the selection.
The SAR ROTC Medal is approved by the United States Army, the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, and
the United States Air Force. Each service has notified its ROTC and JROTC units of this approval and has
authorized presentation to its cadets or midshipmen.
