Fourth year cadets receive credit for JROTC 4. This consists of AS 400 and LE 400. Some fourth-year students may be assigned to JROTC 1 classes in specific leadership positions to facilitate cadet corps management. The remaining fourth year students will be assigned to the JROTC III classes to meet the training and management requirements of those classes. AS 400, Management of the Cadet Corps, allows upper-class cadets to manage the entire corps under JROTC instructor supervision. This course provides hands-on experience for the opportunity to put the theories of previous leadership courses into practice. All the planning, organizing, coordinating, directing, controlling, and decision-making will be done by the cadets, under the supervision of JROTC instructors. They practice their communication, decision-making, personal-interaction, managerial, and organizational skills. LE 400, Principles of Management, is a guide to understanding the fundamentals of management, managing yourself, and others. Emphasis is placed on allowing the student to see himself/herself as a manager. There are four building blocks of leadership considered in this text from the military and civilian perspective. Attention to these four areas will form a strong foundation for a capability to lead others. The four areas are Management Techniques, Management Decisions, Management Functions, and Managing Self and Others. Fourth-year cadets earning credit for LE 400 will normally lead advanced military drill and ceremonies, ensure proper wear of the uniform, and instruct younger cadets in military customs and courtesies as well as citizenship training. NOTE: Honors JROTC 4 is an option in specified leadership positions.
