JROTC POWER Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to update Department of Defense guidance for the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program within 270 days of becoming law. The updated guidance must include a plan to evaluate how the JROTC Standardized Instructor Pay Scale affects the hiring and keeping of JROTC instructors, along with standard ways to measure those results across the military services. The measures must cover items such as vacancy rates, time to hire, retention rates, differences by location, and why applicants decline job offers. The Secretary would report the findings to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees one year after the guidance is issued and each year for two more years.
