CHAPTER 2 PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND CURRICULUM 2-1 Overview The Johns Hopkins Army ROTC Program consists of two components the core curriculum and professional military education. The core curriculum is comprised of ROTC classroom instruction in general military subjects and practical exercises in common military skills. It is conducted in two phases: the Basic Course and the Advanced Course. The professional military education component is designed to provide cadets with the type of academic foundation necessary to support their continued intellectual growth. It encompasses the requirement for a baccalaureate degree and successful completion of scholastic courses in three specific subject areas. 2-2 Core Curriculum a. Basic Course: The goal of this course is to introduce the cadet to military leadership and military life, and to provide enough information about the US Army to enable the student to make an informed decision concerning participation in the Advanced Course. The Basic Course occurs on campus during the freshman and sophomore years. However, for students unable to enroll in the basic course during their first two years of college, credit for this phase may be obtained through an alternative five-week summer basic camp between the sophomore and junior years. The core curriculum of the basic course stresses fundamentals in the following areas: military discipline, military courtesy, customs and traditions, functions of the active and reserve components of the Army, communication, and leadership development. The Basic Course consists of four military science courses, which are taken during the freshman and sophomore years (Leadership Skills I through Leadership Skills IV). A leadership laboratory meets weekly and is designed to test the new skills of the Basic Course cadets. The leadership labs concentrate on practical exercises and the actual application of the leadership techniques. Finally, Basic Course cadets are required to attend two field-training exercises (FTXs) each semester. The FTXs last approximately 12 and 30 hours respectively. b. Advanced Course: The goal of this course is to prepare each cadet to become an successful officer in the US Army upon graduation. The on-campus portion concentrates on the application of the fundamentals acquired during the Basic Course as an integral part of study in applied leadership development, individual and unit tactics, organizational administration and management, military justice and ethics and the inter-relations of the various branches of the Army. The five week Advanced Camp, conducted during the summer between the junior and senior years, is an integral part of the Advanced Course. ROTC study during the junior year includes Applied Leadership I and II for MS III cadets. ROTC study during the senior year includes Managerial Leadership I and II for MS IV cadets. Leadership Labs are an integral part of each course. Juniors are required to attend additional training throughout the year in order to ensure that they are prepared for Advanced Camp. Senior ROTC cadets plan and lead all of the training during the year, including the weekend training exercises. MS IV cadets are a vital link in preparing the MS III class for Advanced Camp.

2-3 Professional Military Education In addition to the courses required by your respective institution, Cadet Command requires that each cadet take one course in the following subjects: Military History, Written Communication Skills, and Computer Skills. These courses may be taken at any time throughout the cadets progression; however, the course must be completed prior to graduation. A cadet must take one approved course from each subject. The approved list for professional military education courses is located in Annex I. CAUTION: Cadets should coordinate their electives with their ROTC and Academic Advisors prior to course registration in order to ensure fulfillment of the Cadet Command professional military education requirements. 2-4 Grading Policy Each ROTC course instructor will publish a course syllabus that clearly dictates how the course will be graded. Each syllabus has been approved by the Department Head of the Military Science Department and is not open for debate. 2-5 Scholarship Probation and Termination a. Each Army ROTC cadet receiving ROTC scholarship benefits must meet the following standards: Maintain an academic cumulative GPA of 2.0 Pass all academic course Maintain an ROTC semester and cumulative GPA of 3.0 Maintain a normal progression towards the baccalaureate degree as required for graduation at the scheduled time 5. Pass the Army Physical Fitness Test (see Annex B for standards) 6. Maintain body weight/body fat per cent within Cadet Command Standards b. Army ROTC scholarship cadets who fail to meet the standards listed above will be placed on probation for the semester following the deficiency. Students on probation and their respective deans will be notified in writing. Failure to correct the identified deficiencies by the end of the probationary period will constitute a basis for termination of all Army scholarship benefits. c. Failure in any Military Science course for any semester or a considerable deficiency in the quality of work in the ROTC core curriculum will constitute a basis for immediate termination of ROTC scholarship benefits without a period of probation. 2-6 Disenrollment Contracted cadets will be disenrolled from the Army ROTC program under the following circumstances: 1. Withdrawal or expulsion from school 2. Medical disqualification 3. Failure to maintain a 2.0 GPA in academic or ROTC courses (scholarship students must maintain a 3.0 in ROTC courses) 4. Failure to maintain enrollment requirements 5. Failure to complete Advanced Camp 6. Discovery of a fact or condition that will bar a cadet from appointment as a commissioned officer 1. 2. 3. 4.

7. Misconduct, disrespect of authority, ineptitude, indifference, or lack of interest towards military service 8. Unethical conduct such as lying, cheating, or stealing, possession of illegal drugs, underage consumption of alcohol, conviction of felonious acts, failure to pay just debts, or other such acts that are a detriment to good order, morale and discipline of the cadet battalion. 9. Evading the terms of the Army ROTC Student Contract (CC Form 139-R) 2-7 Physical Training a. Physical fitness is of the utmost importance to all cadets regardless of career or ambition. Leaders must be physically fit in order to set the examples for their subordinates. Therefore, our program places a heavy emphasis on physical training (PT). PT is conducted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, throughout the year. Attendance is mandatory for all scholarship and contracted cadets and is highly encouraged for all cadets regardless of status. PT starts sharply at 0645 hours and lasts for approximately one hour. b. Progress in physical fitness is measured through the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT). Each cadet will be tested in the push-up, sit-up, and two mile run events. The test will be given three times each semester, and is mandatory for all cadets. See Annex B for exact APFT standards. c. PT will be held in two places. UMBC cadets will form at indoor running track in the Field house on the UMBC campus. All other cadets will form at the west-end of the Homewood Field on the JHU campus. Roll will be taken at every PT session. d. APFT goals by MS level: 1. MS I 200, 60 points in each event 2. MS II 230, 70 points in each event 3. MS III 260, 80 points in each event 4. MS IV 275, 90 points in each event e. Attendance at PT sessions will reflect in each cadets laboratory grade. Cadets may miss up to three sessions for any reason. More than three absences will result in a reduced attendance/participation grade. Cadets who participate in varsity athletics may be excused from PT during the semester when the sport in season. The Professor of Military Science is the approval authority for all missed training. 2-8 Study Abroad Program a. Cadets desiring to participate in a study abroad program may do so only with the permission of the Professor of Military Science. Cadets may choose to study abroad during the MS II or MS IV year. Cadet Commands policy to attend Advanced Camp in the summer between MS III and MS IV year precludes study abroad during the MS III year. There are two options for cadets choosing to study abroad: study abroad while remaining an active participant in the ROTC program, or study abroad while on a leave of absence from the program. b. Foreign Study with continued ROTC participation 1. The PMS is the approval authority for this option.

2. Cadets must satisfactorily complete a correspondence course during the period of foreign study. 3. Army ROTC scholarship and subsistence allowances continue throughout the period of foreign study. 4. Cadets must make arrangements through their respective school to ensure that payments are made for expenses incurred abroad. The Army will pay tuition for cadets who are following an approved academic course. 5. Payments under the ROTC scholarship program for tuition, fees, and textbooks for the approved period of overseas study will not exceed the charges that the student would normally incur on campus. 6. When foreign study occurs during the sophomore year, the MS II curriculum courses missed during the period of foreign study must be taken in the junior year in addition to the regularly scheduled MS III core curriculum. c. Foreign Study Under a Leave of Absence 1. The approval authority for this option is the Commander of US Army Cadet Command. The Cadet Command Commander will use the recommendation of the PMS to aid in his decision. 2. ROTC participation is not required of cadets while in a leave of absence status. 3. All Army ROTC scholarship entitlements, compensations, and allowances will be discontinued while cadets are on a leave of absence. 4. If the foreign study is conducted during the MS II year, all missed classes must be taken during the MS III year along with the regularly scheduled MS III core curriculum classes. 5. If the foreign study is taken during the junior year, the MS III core curriculum classes missed during the leave of absence must be taken during the cadets senior year. An additional year of schooling as a full time student would then be required to take the MS IV core curriculum classes. MS III and MS IV classes cannot be compressed into the same semester. The cadet would go to Advanced Camp after their senior year. This option will delay the date of commissioning by at least one semester. d. Requests for either option to study abroad must be submitted along with the cadets respective academic Deans certification to the Professor of Military Science. These requests are due no later than 1 October for foreign study during the Spring semester, and no later than 1 April for foreign study during the fall semester. e. A cadet desiring to participate in the study abroad program must not be on academic or ROTC probation, and must maintain an ROTC GPA of at least 3.0.

CHAPTER 4 OFFICERS IMAGE, COURTESY, AND DISCIPLINE 4-1 The Image of the Officer a. An officer is an official of the US Army and therefore of the US Government. The characteristics and values that an officer possesses and displays must be beyond reproach. Our focus is to produce leaders who idealize competence, confidence, commitment, and candor. b. Army officers are required to lead the men and women of the forces into combat to win our nations wars and implement our national will throughout the world. The soldiers of the US Army must have the utmost trust in their leaders if they are to have the courage to fight and win on the battlefield. The trust in the integrity and professional competence of the military officer extends beyond the soldiers to the citizens of the United States. The citizens must believe that the military will endeavor to uphold the ethical and moral ideal set forth in the Constitution of the United States of America. The core values impressed upon the cadets of the Blue Jay Battalion will ensure that the future leaders will possess a sound base of base of values. c. A sound individual image is essential for effective leadership. Soldiers expect and deserve competent leaders. 4-2 Military Courtesy Courtesy is essential element in effective human relationships. It stimulates the harmonious associations of individuals, eases the conduct of affairs and adds a welcome note to all manner of human contact, civilian as well as military. Courtesy pertains to wholesome relationships between seniors and subordinates. The cadets and officers of the Blue Jay Battalion will adhere to all standards of military courtesy prescribed in Army regulations. Military courtesy is an integral part of discipline cadets cannot expect success in the program or in future life without it. 4-3 The Hand Salute a. The origins of the hand salute in uncertain. Some historians believe that the salute began in late Roman times when assassinations were commonplace. A citizen who wanted to see a public official had to approach with his right hand raised to show that he did not hold a weapon. Knights in armor raised visors with their right hands when meeting a comrade. This practice gradually became a way of showing respect. Early Americans were known to tip their hats in line with this now traditional custom. By 1820, the tipping of the hat was modified to simply touching the hat and has since then been transformed into the salute used today. b. Army personnel in uniform are required to salute when they meet and recognize persons entitled to a salute except when it is inappropriate or impractical. All ROTC cadets are required to render salutes to all Army commissioned and warrant officers. A salute is also required in the following instances: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. When the National Anthem, "To the Colors", or "Hail to the Chief" is played. When the National Colors pass by. In all official greetings. At reveille and retreat, when in sight or sound of the flag or music. During the rendering of honors. When passing by uncased colors outdoors.

7. When pledging allegiance to the US flag. 4-4 Military Discipline a. Military discipline may be defined as an outward manifestation of mental attitudes and state of training, which renders obedience and proper conduct instinctively at all times, under all conditions. It is founded upon request to the properly constituted authority. While military discipline is most readily displayed in military training, every aspect of military life has an effect on military discipline. b. Military discipline is generally recognized in an individual or unit by smartness of appearance and action, by cleanliness and neatness of dress, equipment and quarters, by respect for seniors, and prompt execution of lawful orders. The Blue Jay disciplinary training program is designed to condition the mind and body to respond quickly to orders and directions given by senior authority and to build self-confidence in each cadets ability to direct the actions of subordinates. 4-5 Conduct As a means of fostering discipline, all cadets in the Blue Jay Battalion will adhere to the following standards of conduct: a. Class Attendance 1. Traits of good leadership such as self-discipline, personal responsibility, and time management are emphasized in our program. Attendance at all classes, labs, and physical training sessions is mandatory. Requested for authorized absences will be submitted to the cadets instructor for approval prior to the expected absence. Excuses after the fact will not be tolerated. Students will be held accountable for all missed work. 2. To recognize cadets who demonstrate the traits listed above, the Academic Achievement Wreath will be awarded to cadets who have no unexcused absences during a given semester and rank in the top 10% of their ROTC class. Additionally, cadets who excel in these areas during the year will be afforded special consideration in selection for summer training (Airborne, Air Assault, Northern Warfare, etc.). Class attendance will be reflected in the cadet Order of Merit List(OML). b. Uniform. The prescribed uniform must be worn to all scheduled periods of classroom instruction, drill periods, formations, leadership laboratories, PT sessions, and training exercises. CC Regulation 670-1 and AR 670-1 govern the wear and appearance of Army and civilian clothing. (See Chapter 6 for more details) c. Appearance. All cadets are expected to demonstrate the highest standards of appearance as required by an Army officer. Civilian clothing should always display good taste. You must realize that you represent the entire Blue Jay Battalion and the US Army and to dress accordingly. d. Care of Uniform and Equipment. Uniforms and equipment are provided free of charge for each cadet. Cadets will be held financially liable for the equipment in their care. Cadets will be charged for the repair or replacement of any lost or abused equipment. Normal wear and tear of the equipment is expected, however, willful misuse of the equipment will not be tolerated. Cadets who intend to leave the ROTC program must return all uniforms and equipment before being allowed to disenroll. If a cadet does not turn in his or her equipment, the University will hold all academic transcripts until the equipment is returned.

e. Official Information and Notices. All cadets must read the ROTC bulletin boards located on the first floor across from the Supply Office, and on the second floor next to the Training Office. At a minimum, cadets should read each bulletin board before each MS class and leadership lab. Cadets will be held responsible for the information posted on the boards. 4-6 Excused Absences From Training Other Than MS Classes a. Cadets may experience events that require them to miss scheduled classes or training. In order to be excused from training, cadets must submit a cadet excusal form requesting an excused absence. Requests will be submitted through the cadet chain of command before being passed onto the cadre. Requests must be submitted no later than one week prior to the planned absence. Exceptions to this rule will only be granted in cases of personal emergency. b. Excused absence memoranda will be type and submitted in the format located in annex. Any request not in this format will not be considered. c. The Professor of Military Science is the approval authority for all excused absences. The PMS will use the recommendation of the cadet chain of command to base his decision. d. It is the individual cadets responsibility to follow up on the request for absence. DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOUR REQUEST WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE GRANTED! e. Cadets will plan their schedules to eliminate any conflicts with ROTC training. Address any concerns or problems with your respective instructor as soon as you become aware of a problem.

CHAPTER 5 UNIFORM/EQUIPMENT APPEARANCE, ISSUE AND TURN-IN 5-1 General Appearance a.

APFT PUSH-UP Scoring

2 Minute timed event, maximum repetitions. Scoring standards are used to convert raw scores to points after test events are completed. 1. Male/Female points are indicated by the M/F at the top and bottom of the columns. 2. To convert raw scores to point scores, find the number of repetitions performed in the center-hand column. Next, move along that row and locate the intersection of the soldier's appropriate age column. Record that number in the Push-Up points block on the APFT scorecard. AGE 17-21 GROUP
