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. The updated guidance must include a plan to evaluate how the JROTC Standardized Instructor Pay Scale affects hiring and keeping 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, length of service, differences by location, and how many applicants accept or decline job offers. The Secretary would report the results to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees one year after the guidance is issued and each year for two more years.
